This new race of Tuberous Begonias grow long, slim, pendent branches that droop like ' 
an Ivy-leaved Geranium and bear abundantly, uniquely formed loosely double flowers, the !' 
individual petals of which are rather long, narrow and usually curved or waved. The colors ^ 
are pink, rose, salmon, carmine, and bright red in varying shades. The leaves of rich 
glossy green are narrow and crenated. The effect of well grown plants in bloom is particularly ; 
beautiful, airy and graceful. These new drooping Begonias are of unusually quick growth 
for Begonias, often producing 16 to 20 inch branches the first year from seed. The plants y 
thrive better in partially shaded situations than in full bright sunshine and therefore t 
from their habit of growth are especially adapted for trailing from hanging baskets on the 
piazza or under trees, garden houses and bowers and for window and veranda boxes.vases, etc. 
About 75 to 80 per cent, of the seedlings will produce double flowers, the balance will ; 
come single. Begonia seed is very small, resembling yellow dust, therefore it must be 
started under glass. Full directions on every,packet of seed. {See cut.) . Pkt. 25c. i
