BEGONIA MUTIFLORA FL. PL. 
"Coppery Gold" (Benary) 
The leaves, like those of Helen Harms, are small, narrow and longish; the 
rounded flowers are somewhat larger and better filled. Many flowers are like 
tiny roses, which are nominally very effective when opening. The combination 
of colors is wonderful: the foundation of old gold or golden yellow merges into 
copper red or coppery salmon and is usually tinged with carmine. The seedlings 
produce about 80% doubles; they bloom profusely and uninterruptedly from 
July onwards until the frost comes. Tr. Pkt. $1.00

ASTER CURLED AND INTERLACED 
"Blue and White" 
The color is a deep blue, with a white stripe showing on the outer 
edges of each of the inner petals. The outer petals keeping to a 
solid deep blue. This variety is the Curled and Interlaced type 
of the Giants of California group. It throws large flowers five to 
six inches across and with its long strong stems is ideal for florist 
work. Tr. Pkt. 50c Vi oz . $1.25 
NEW ASTER WILT-RESISTANT GIANT COMET 
"Illusion" (Bodger) 
(Recommended by "All America Council") 
Still another new color in a wilt-resistant Aster, Illusion, is a soft, pastel shade of apricot pink, 
especially fine for cutting and most effective when used in combination with some blue 
flower, such as the Chinese Forget-Me-Not. The plants are upright, about two feet tall 
and very free blooming. Since the individual stems are short, it is customary to cut the whole 
plant as a unit when using the flowers for bouquets. The strain is wilt-resistant and will 
flower during mid-August. Tr. Pkt.. 50c Vi oz. 75c

BEGONIA MULTIFLORA FL. PL. 
"Mrs. Helen Harms" 
"Mrs. Helen Harms", the richly-flowering, sunproof, yellow bedding plant, takes 
a prominent place amongst the double multiflora Begonias. 
In the past it has only been possible to propagate this delightful Begonia by 
means of cuttings, and consequently the tubers were very expensive. It was, 
therefore, the aim of every Begonia grower to produce this valuable variety 
from seed. 
Today we are in position to offer seeds from "Helen 
Harms which produce 90% to 95% double-flowering 
plants. The flowers, about 1 Vz inches in diameter, are 
the same deep canary yellow as those grown from cut¬ 
tings; the foliage has likewise remained small, narrow 
and oblong. Tr. Pkt.. $1.00 
NEW BEGONIA (Semperflorens Type) "Scandinavia" 
(Eriksson's Description) 
A new, large flowering pot plant Begonia, originated in Sweden and introduced by Ernst E. 
Eriksson, Riverside, Ill. The habit of this Begonia is very outstanding. The easiest and fastest 
growing Semperflorens Begonia I have ever seen. You will be surprised to see how soon 
you have to space them and what a wonderful branching, free flowering and lasting habit 
it has. The colors are about 70% Pinks, 20% Reds and 10% in-between, outstanding colors, 
all very clear. They have dark green foliage, are absolutely self cleaning and the shedded 
flowers do not spot or rot the foliage. Think of it! They can be used for any purpose, as a 
house, combination or bedding plant. For florists large or small, a real money maker. Sow 
seeds in October and November for Mother's Day purpose and in January for Memorial Day 
and any time in Summer and early Fall for Winter blooming. Every pot plant grower in this 
country and Canada should try this Begonia. Tr. Pkt. $1.50 3 Tr. Pkts. $4.00
