TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
DOUBLE HANGING TYPE 
Perhaps the most attractive type of tuberous Begonia. The 
hanging habit, with great masses of blooms, makes them 
favorite for decoration of greenhouses, open verandas or sun 
porches where they can be protected against a strong light 
and wind. 
SEEDLING TUBERS ... We have made a large amount 
of experimental crosses and are offering great variety of new 
color combinations and forms which were grouped in the 
following shades. 
Varieties with large flowers ... 
White Blush Shades 
Yellow Shades Orange Red Shades 
These are second generation crosses between the double 
Camellia and Hanging type and are suitable chiefly for dis- 
playing large specimen plants. They do not have as ideal 
hanging habit as the smaller types. However, if pinched so 
they can branch they will form beautiful hanging specimens. 
Pink Shades 
Varieties with medium sized flowers ... 
These have greater profusion of bloom and better hanging 
habit. 
White Blush Shades Pink Shades 
Rose Shades Crimson Rose Shades Salmon Rose Shades 
Scarlet Shades

NAMED VARIETIES 
We have been selecting and propagating a number of seed- 
lings of the basket Begonias which are outstanding in color, 
form of flowers and hanging habit. All are propagated by 
cuttings, forming rather irregular tubers in comparison to 
the seedling tubers which are smooth and round. .. . It takes 
several years to propagate a sufficient amount of tubers for 
introduction and we are so far able to offer only the two 
following varieties. 
Pink Shower . . . The individual flowers are a delicate 
cerise-pink, holding the beautiful form to the very end of 
the season in such profusion that the plant portrays the name 
it bears exactly. 
Avalanche ... Recent introduction and a good companion to 
Pink Shower, as it is almost a white counterpart of it. A slight 
greenish tinge in the center of the flowers gives it added 
attraction. 
PRICE... 75c each; $7.50 per dozen. 
SEED ... To produce a high quality seed of the Hanging 
type is very difficult and we are often not able to supply all 
colors that we list. Each year we make entirely new crosses to 
improve either form or hanging habit or derive new colors. 
This year we can offer only a small quantity in the following 
shades. 
White Pink Rose 
Salmon Shades Red Shades 
Complete mixture of the above and all new crosses made 
this season. 
PRICE .. . 50c per half packet; $1.00 per packet. 
MULTIFLORA NANA 
This group of tuberous Begonias which we are offering this 
year are not exactly new. However, they have not been dis- 
tributed or grown in America with the popularity which 
they rightly deserve, as they have been in Europe for the last 
twenty-five years. They differ from the large-flowered types 
in having a dwarf, bushy growth covered all summer with a 
mass of small double flowers 114 to 3 inches in diameter. 
The character of their growth makes them invaluable for 
borders or bedding purposes, as they form a veritable carpet 
of single color. All varieties are propagated artificially, by 
cuttings only, as seed from them does not come true to type 
or color. In this manner the bulbs offered are divisions of the 
original plant and members of individual variety, forming 
absolutely no variation. 
Fireflame ... Flamboyant. Small semi-double flowers of 
the most intensive scarlet. The plants grow only four to 
six inches high and are simply covered with blooms from 
June to the end of October. It can be utilized both for 
bedding and hanging baskets. 
PRICE ... 25c each; $2.50 per dozen; $18.00 per 100. 
Mrs. Helen Harms ... Pure yellow double. A very dwarf, 
bushy growth; outstanding for borders or bedding. 
PRICE |... 35c each; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100. 
Mme. Richard Galle ... Pure orange double. Almost 
identical with Mrs. Helen Harms, except for color, which is 
clear orange. 
PRICE ... 35c each; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100.
