TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
We grow the largest number of tuberous Begonias in 
Southern California and have many very interesting 
hybrids in them. 
1041 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA 
Rose scented, orange flowered tuberous species from 
Argentina. A very lovely branching tuberous that starts 
to flower earlier than most varieties with 7 flowers to a 
cluster bourne well above foliage. 
Large tubers 15c each. $1.50 per dozen 
NEW HYBRID "WILD ROSE" 
Seedlings from above crossed with Baumanii gives 
larger flowers in clusters of 7 to 9, bright pink with at 
least three times the fragrance of the above and at least 
twice the fragrance of Baumanii. Takes more light than 
normal tuberous. Has been grown here in Southern 
California in full sun with only slight burning at 110 ' in 
the shade. This plant is by far more showy than double 
tuberous as a bedding plant. The flowers are bourne well 
above the foliage and the plant naturally brances to 
give five or six stems.

OUR BASKET HYBRIDS 
Crosses between the true Loydii or basket begonias 
and the large double Cammelia type tuberous. We have 
had up to six inch flowers on them with lovely trailing 
habit though most are around 3 to 4 inches. They are 
more attractive pot plants than the large Cammelia type 
doubles.

rate or mixed colors.

MIXED HYBRIDS FOR SHOWY BED PLANTING

Baumanii mainly and will give more flowers per plant 
than the normal types. 50% or more double. Grand for 
beds or baskets. Makes very large tubers.

Above is a partial list of what we have and are do¬ 
ing with begonias. We also have many Rex x tuberous 
crosses and Rex x Evancianna crosses that are showing 
up very interesting. They must be seen to be appreciated 
but for those who can't see them we suggest you pur¬ 
chase plants or tubers and carry on the necessary Be¬ 
gonia building that we have started. 
This is a new program of dissemination of new vari¬ 
eties as seedlings that sometimes will have no two plants 
alike out of a thousand but since Begonia hybridization 
is being pushed and that you may have the more com¬ 
mercially valuable crosses to carry on and the inform¬ 
ation herein contained is of much value to hybridists we 
are sending out this list and hope it meets with your 
approval.
