RIGHTS Tuberous - Rooted Begonias 
mHE GORGEOUS FLOWERS of the modern Tuberous-rooted Begonias are so exquisitely 
| beautiful that they hardly seem to be real. They range in size from the less than 3-inch Pendula 
and Multiflora blooms to the 6 to 8-inch flowers of the Camellia and single types. 
Rich’s Begonia tubers, packed with health and vitality, gathered on wind-swept Swans Island, 
off the coast of Maine, will produce bloom to delight the most discriminating Begonia lover. Tuber¬ 
ous-rooted Begonias are shade-loving plants and thrive in solid beds, window-boxes, pots, and hanging- 
baskets. They have unusual cut-flower value, producing decorative arrangements impossible with 
any other flower. 
Cultural instructions will be enclosed with each shipment.

PENDULA or LLOYDI. Branching plants whose 
pendulous stems look well hanging from boxes and 
baskets or drooped over rocks in the rock-garden.

pink, and white. 
ROSEBUD BEGONIAS are simply a variation of 
the Camellia-flowered, with young flowers looking 
like half-opened roses. Shades of pink only.
