BEGONIAS 
FIBROUS ROOTED 
For greenhouse pot plants or summer bedding. While 
easily grown on from cuttings, such plants are hardly 
ever as good when grown from seed. As a bedding plant 
there is nothing more satisfactory; also excellent as a pot 
plant and for a filler with other plants. 
BEGONIA SEMPERFLORENS 
Snow (Semperflorens Heterosis). This new, snow-white, 
profusely flowering Hybrid is outstanding on account of 
its resistance to heat, drought, and excessive moisture. 
The plants bloom well during unfavorable weather and 
retain their fresh, pure white appearance. These pure 
white medium sized flowers show up well against the 
rosy stems and light green leaves. The bushy plants 
grow about 10 inches high. At the official Begonia trials 
(Germany), this new hybrid proved to be the best white 
Begonia. Tr. Pkt.$1.00
