FIMBRIATA. The Carnation-flowered 
Begonias are an interestingly different 
type, having fully double flowers with 
short, deeply serrated, fringed petals, 
the mature bloom really resembling a 
carnation. It is one of the varieties 
you will just have to have once you 
have seen a fully developed flower. 
The colors are pink, salmon, apricot, 
and white. 
MULTIFLORA BEGONIAS are low 
plants only about 6 inches high which 
literally hide their foliage with masses 
of bloom from early summer until 
frost. The flowers are from iy 2 to 3 
inches across and are in shades of 
scarlet, fiery red, rose, yellow, and 
coppery yellow. 
NARCISSAEFLORA. One of the newest types, with center petals 
arranged somewhat like the trumpet of a daffodil. The flowers are 
quite attractive in their dainty pastel shades. 
PENDULA /Tloydy/. Very popular for window-boxes and hanging- 
baskets on a shaded porch or in the conservatory and for shaded rock- 
gardens. It is a type with pendulous stems and quantities of single or 
double flowers in shades of orange, salmon, pink, and white. The 
flowers are smaller than those of the previously mentioned type, 
averaging something less than 3 inches in diameter. We do not know 
of any plant that will produce such quantities of bloom in a box or 
basket as these rapidly spreading Pendula Begonias. 
ROSEBUD BEGONIAS are simply a variation of the Camellia-flowered 
type. The bloom, in its early development, appears much like a half¬ 
open rose, and at this stage is truly beautiful. So far, the Rosebud type 
has been developed only in shades of pink. 
SINGLE. Because of the immensity of their flat surfaces, the plain Singles 
are the most spectacular of the family. The flowers vary somewhat 
in form, and the color-range is wide so that a bed of mixed colors 
presents a dazzling picture. The colors are apricot, orange, salmon- 
pink, rose, crimson, and white, and the sizes are really fantastic.
