BEGONIAS 
Fibrous Rooted 
SEMPERFLORENS 
For greenhouse pot plants and summer bedding. While Begonias are 
easily grown from cuttings our experience has proved that plants 
grown from seed are far superior. As a bedding plant there is nothing 
more satisfactory; also excellent as a pot plant and for a "filler" with 
other plants. 
Masterpiece. A lovely clear rose-pink Begonia, and the most outstand¬ 
ing in this color class. The large-sized blooms are produced so 
abundantly that the foliage is really overshadowed. A large bed of 
"Masterpiece" observed on a large estate near Chicago this past sea¬ 
son was a sight to behold. For pot plants as well as for bedding, 
you hove something if you have this exceptional new Begonia.

Snow (Heterosis). This new, snow-white, profusely flowering Hybrid 
is outstanding on account of its resistance to heat, drought, and 
excessive moisture. The plants bloom well during unfavorable 
weather and retain their fresh, pure white appearance. These pure 
white medium sized flowers show up well against the rosy stems and 
light green leaves. The bushy plants grow about 10 inches high.
