Begonia pendula. 25c. each 
BEGONIA PENDULA 
The hanging type. Blooms are generally 2 to 
3 inches across, hanging from thin, wiry stems 
that swing and sway in the breeze like a pendu¬ 
lum. At first this plant will grow upright but as 
the season advances the stems lengthen and 
droop from the weight of the bloom. This

Begonia, with its myriads of drooping flowers, 
makes an ideal variety for the edge of a porch- 
box or the sides of a hanging-basket. A shaded 
spot in the rock-garden, where the sprays of 
bloom can droop over a rock, is just about as 
satisfying a location as one could imagine.

VISITORS 
Visitors are always cordially invited. 
During May and June the greenhouses 
will be filled with seedling plants of 
Tuberous-rooted Begonias and many 
thousands of potted annuals ready for the 
planting season. 
From the latter part of June to frost 
our lath-house will be a show-place with 
thousands of blooming Tuberous-rooted 
Begonias of all types and colors, and truly 
a marvelous sight. 
Come to see us while these glorious flow¬ 
ers make a veritable flower show. We are 
proud of our outstanding strains of Be¬ 
gonias, Gloxinias and other plants and 
invite comparisons for our mutual good. 
Garden Club Lectures 
We have assembled, over a period of 
years, a motion-picture film dealing with 
the culture of Tuberous-rooted Begonias 
which we use in connection with garden 
club talks. This film starts with the plant¬ 
ing, transplanting, and potting of the 
seedling plants. The last half of the film 
is in natural color, showing methods of 
use, such as in foundation planting, hang¬ 
ing - baskets, vase arrangements, and 
corsages. The film and talk take up about 
an hour, after which the meetings are open 
to questions. These talks are available 
by appointment—except during May and 
June—with a small charge to cover ex¬ 
penses of transportation, etc.
