BEGONIA RICHLAND 
A new Baake seedling of Haageana, having all of the parent’s 
good qualities, plus many new ones of its own. Namely, it is a 
better bloomer, a more vigorous grower and is more frost resist¬ 
ant. Fine specimen plants, 50c to $2.50 each. 
Low Growing Branching Types 
/

silvery white foliage. Extremely effective when used as a potted 
plant or in a hanging basket. Delicate ivory white flowers. 
BERTHA VON LOTHRINGEN: Although some still list this 
one as Pearl de Lorraine, it is now generally accepted by the 
trade as Bertha V. L. Rather thick stemmed with smooth, dark 
green foliage peculiarly veined with chocolate lines. Flowers are 
pink, and it is a winter bloomer. 
INCARNATA: Liked by all who grow it because of its won¬ 
derful display of bright rosy-pink flowers in mid-winter. It will 
grow to a height of 2 % to 3 feet. It is excellent for pot or 
garden culture.

Thick Stemmed Varieties 
BUNCHII: A very attractive compact sort, excellent for either 
pot or basket culture. It has bright green leaves, beautifully 
waved and crinkled, above which rise many lovely spikes of pink 
flowers. 
RICINIFOLIA: Known by many as the star begonia, because 
of the star shaped leaves. This giant sends up enormous bronzy 
leaves on long thick stems. It is not uncommon for the leaves 
to measure 15 inches across. The bloom stalks are often 4 feet 
tall with large bunches of pink flowers a foot or more across. 
A wonderful tub plant. Stock limited. Small plant;, 50c each; 
larger plants, $1.50 to $4.50 each. 
SUNDERBRUCKII: Decidedly a star begonia. Dark, mottled 
turtle green foliage, much like ricinifolia in growth, but smaller 
all the way around. Spikes of pink flowers in early spring. 
Scharfhana Group 
HAAGEANA: A fine, tall growing variety with luxuriant green 
leaves that are rather hairy, somewhat like Begonia Richland. 
The flowers are white, tinted pink and produced in large pen¬ 
dant clusters. It is a winter bloomer, making a wonderful pot 
plant for house or conservatory. Plants in 3-inch pots, each 25c; 
plants in 4-inch pots, each 40c. 
Scharfhana Begonia 
Of all our numerous fibrous rooted begonias the striking foli¬ 
age of this one attracts most attention. The leaves are large, 
rounded, hairy and thick; but it is their color that makes every¬ 
one wish to own this plant. They are a rich dark green on top 
and a beautiful deep red underneath. The blossoms, which are 
borne on long branching stems, are white with a rosy tint, form¬ 
ing a fine contrast to the colorful foliage. This lovely plant does 
well as a house plant and will add much color to your window 
display. 3-inch pots, 25c; 4-inch pots, 40c; 6-inch pots, $1.00.

tiful waxy green foliage. The flowers are a lovely salmon-pink.

tion for first place. 2 1 /i-i*'ch pots, 10c each.

riety in existence. Clear, light-green foliage, which is completely
