Tuberous Begonias are the 
Aristocrats of Cut Flowers 
Camellia 
The double-flowered camellia type illustrated on page 8 is one 
of the most beautiful. The blossoms so closely resemble those of 
the double-flowered camellia shrub that it is hard to distinguish 
betw'een the two. 
The flowers of this type are flve to seven inches in diameter 
and may be had in the following colors: 
Pink, Rose, Orange, Yellow, White, Crimson, Scarlet, American 
Beauty, Apricot and Salmon. 
Double Rosebud Type 
Excellent for Cut Flowers or Corsage Work 
The flowers of this exquisite type resemble perfect rosebuds. 
and are much sought after for corsage and bouquet work. The 
plant is a tall sturdy grower. 
Available in the following colors: Blush, Pink, Rose, Salmon. 
Fine sturdy tubers, 20c each; $1.75 per doz.; $11.00 per 100.

CRESTED OR CRISTATA 
Order Early—We Generally Run Short of These Popular Varieties 
As the picture indicates, a most novel and interesting type. Their 
popularity is gaining rapidly, due, no doubt, to the great strides 
that have been made in the color range. Last year I planted an 
immense bed, thinking I would have more than enough for 
those who wished to stake particular tubers, but as the season 
came to a close I found that hardly a plant was not slaked. 
Colors same as Single Frilled. 
SINGLE FRILLED (CRISPA) Comes in Many Colors 
A splendid type for bedding, especially if the watering is done 
by overhead sprinking. The large heavily frilled flowers are 
borne on long stiff stems, which keep the blossoms at all times 
well above the foliage. May be had in the following colors: 
White, Pink, Salmon, Scarlet, Yellow, Orange, Crimson and Rose. 
Sutherlandii 
An interesting and popular variety with bronzy-red foliage. 
The plant is a compact grower, seldom getting more than 12 
inches high. The small copper flowers are produced very freely. 
It is one of the earliest to bloom. We recommend it for border 
or pot culture. 
Tubers, 25c each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Bargain Collection B 
Here is a real opportunity for the fellow that is willing to 
take a chance. Naturally, where so many thousands of Tuberous 
Begonia plants are grown, there are always a few extras of some 
of the varieties. It is out of these overs that this collection is 
made. Rather than replant this surplus, I offer it to you. 
Good tubers, mixed colors and types, postpaid
