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.

perflorens Begonia with a wonderful branching habit, and many 
other good qualities. Sow seed in January for Memorial Day; in May

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.

stems and light green leaves. The bushy plants grow about 10 inches

to be the best white Begonia. Tr. Pkt .1.00
