# Rosecroft Begonia Gardens, Point Loma, California • 
^PELTATA. Low grower with peltate leaves, leaves and 
stems covered with a white fuzz, blooms white in 
clusters, quite unique. $1.00. 
^-LUXURIANS. This has also been named SESSILIFOLIA 
but Luxurians is its name both at Kew and the Royal 
Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. An upright grower 
almost a climber with huge palmate leaves carried 
like an umbrella, each section narrow and thin and 
at center of leaf a quite small ruffle of auxiliary 
leaves, blooms small white, in clusters. $2.00. 
MRS. FRED SCRIPPS. Apparently a seedling of Luxurians 
and Scharffiana having a small auxiliary leaf at 
junction of stem, leaf shape very variable from 
maple to a duplex split through the center, reaching 
a length of 1 8 inches by a foot, hairy, mottled grass 
green, under dahlia carmine; bloom upright panicles 
of small white flowers, petals narrow and twisted 
with irregular star effect. Quite individual but proba¬ 
bly not establ ished in habit. $2.50. 
^■DAWN. A seeding of Abel Carriere with the same grey 
foliage but narrow pointed and small; would be a 
charming dwarf if not so delicate. $1.00. 
^CATHAYANA. A Chinese species like an upright Rex. 
Leaf pointed very velvety, center and border dark 
ivy green with narrow stipuled zone of glaucous 
green, under garnet brown, stems covered with pinky 
hairs. Not hardy. 
^■GOGOENSIS. A low grower springing from a rhizome 
with peltate olive green mottled foliage. Most dis¬ 
tinctive, divided by veins just like a spider web. 
CALLA LILY. This should be VERNON VARIEGATA as 
it is definitely a Vernon. Foliage very handsomely 
white variegated, the new growth coming out pure 
white like a miniature Calla. Must not be over¬ 
watered. $1 .00. 
DOMINICAN Species. This was grown from seed gath¬ 
ered by the Government in Dominica. Fluted leaf, 
light cress green; bloom small, white in clusters; 
sturdy habit of growth, suggestive of Odorata Alba.
