The New Double Begonia "Westport Beauty" 
A new, outstanding Begonia of semperflorens type, with perfectly 
double flowers which do not drop. 
The large rose-pink flowers are carried in graceful clusters of eight 
or ten, and are produced in great profusion. 
The result of a cross between Begonia multiflora and Begonia sem¬ 
perflorens, "Westport Beauty" is practically ever-blooming. A well- 
flowered plant may be had in a three-inch pot, while by keeping 
the buds picked off, it can be grown to six-inch size. 
Making an exceptionally pretty pot plant, of easy culture, it will 
prove invaluable for holiday sales, especially for Mother's Day. 
As a bedding plant, "Westport Beauty" tops all other Begonias. 
Easily propagated by cuttings, it grows rapidly with no more care 
than required by bedding Begonias. 
Awarded: Certificate of Merit at The Chelsea Show, England, 
May, 1936. 
First Prize at the Dresden Exposition, Germany, 1936.
