BEROUS BEGONIAS 
SEEDLING PLANTS ... To those customers who have 
no facilities or time for starting tubers, we offer from the 
end of May to end of June young seedling plants. These are 
transplanted twice and hardened off outdoors before ship¬ 
ping and upon arrival can be planted directly outdoors in 
beds or pots as desired. They will start flowering in July and 
form large plants very rapidly and carry the season of bloom 
deep into autumn. Regions with hot summers and long, 
warm autumns will get better results from seedling plants 
than from tubers. They can be successfully shipped to any 
region in the United States. 
CUT FLOWERS . . . Tuberous Begonias are excellent cut 
flowers, lasting five to six days if placed in shallow bowls or 
plates in water. The double types are more lasting, hence 
preferable for table decorations or corsages. We ship fresh 
flowers from June 1 to October 15 to any point in the United 
States. Twelve large blooms of assorted colors are conveni¬ 
ently packed in cotton, forming a beautiful gift box. The 
price of individual boxes is $2.00, f. o. b. Capitola. 
FIMBRIATA PLENA TYPE . .. (Above) Double frilled, or 
often called carnation type. This group has been enormously 
improved in the last few years, the flowers reaching in some 
cases the size of the camellia type with more and more refined 
form. Its strong, bushy growth makes' it exceptionally desirable 
for bedding and pot plants. 
Colors . . . Solid Uniform: White, Yellow, Orange, Scarlet, Dark 
Red, Crimson Rose, Salmon Red. With Variations: Blush, Pink, 
Rose, Apricot, Light Salmon, Dark Salmon. 
DOUBLE TYPES 
SEEDLING PLANTS . . . Delivery, May-June. $1.50 
per dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
SEED...$1 .00 per packet; 50c per half packet. 
DOUBLE ROSEBUD TYPE . . . (Left) Flowers of the most ex¬ 
quisite form, resembling perfect rosebuds, with beautiful, two-tone 
pastel-shade coloring. Very tall, sturdy growth makes it especially 
desirable for growing large specimen plants in tubs for decorative 
purposes.
