FIBROUS BEGONIAS 
Tea Rose 
The most fragrant fibrous begonia we have ever seen. Flowers of a good 
shade of pink in large clusters. Most effective in a basket or low pot. 
Branches well and doesn’t get too tall. 2 ft. Blooms at 6 to 8 inches tall 
and is absolutely everblooming. A good strong grower. The best new 
fragrant fibrous in America in 1941. 
Well rooted cutting plants. 50c each 
Oadi 
_ Another of our everblooming hybrids similar to above but with flowers 
a lighter shade of pink but still bright and twice as large but without the 
lovely scent. Branches very well and can be easily kept under two feet 
with clusters thirty to sixty or more flowers 2 inches and up in diameter. 
This is the best pure fibrous hybrid we have ever grown except for fra- 
grance which we consider cne of the essential characters.

Improved Odorata Alba

its parent and just as sweetly scented. A 2 to 3 foot grower and much 
better than Odorata. Blooms when smaller and not so finicky to tempera- 
dase The best white fragrant fibrous we have. Flowers near 2 inch Gi- 
ameter.

Alto da Serra 
A species we have from a collector in South America. It answers the 
problem of getting a plant small enough for the window garden with the 
lovely red backed olive green leaves covered with silver hair similar to 
Sherine Small clusters of 2 inch white flowers. A fine house plant.

Luxurians 
One of the gems of Oddity in begonias with leaves around a foot across 
shaped quite like a palm made up of 10 - 15 rays about a half inch wide 
by six inches long with usually a little bunch of leaflets in the center. It 
gives a very airy tropical effect. Flowers white and small in clusters.

Rubra & Dichroa 
From our own crosses which may someday give an orange rubra. Some 
of them shade to pinkish orange and are much better growers than Dichroa 
and not so tall and ungainly as the rubras. These are first generation 
seedling plants and are fine house or shade garden plants wherever Rubra 
or Lucerne will grow.

Glaucophylla Scandens 
This is a very lovely trailing or climbing plant that makes a lovely 
basket and is covered with pinkish brick red flowers in the spring. The 
best of the basket varieties. Others list it as very scarce at $1.00 or more.

Sutherlandii & Lucerne 
One of our very interesting crosses with very little of Lucerne showing 
except color evergreen habit and slight spotting of the small leaves. A 
very lovely basket plant more drooping than others of this group and a 
larger grower than Sutherlandii.

Really a tuberous species from South Africa but usually listed as semi 
tuberous. A bright orange small flowered basket plant that is hard to beat 
for grace and airiness. 
Dormant tubers 25¢ each

to above but evergreen foliage unless forced to go dormant.

Sunderbruckii & Verschafeitii 
A very fine group of hybrids in the low rhizomateous class. Combining 
the green leaves and bright pink flowers of Verschafeltii with the much 
lower growth of Sunderbruckii. Flowers much larger than either parent 
in larger clusters aind on longer stems and a brighter pink. Will make a 
nice house plant variety. ,

Manicata & Imperialis 
Another of our proven satisfactory hybrids. In shape and growth 
similar to the old house plant type Speculata, but flowers light pink well 
above the foliage and freely produced the year round. This variety has 
not been sold before and we doubt if anyone else has it or varieties very 
near it. Its leaf is shaped like Manicata but pimpled and hairy about. half 
as much as Imperialis. 
A few plants will be ready in early June $1.00 each 
Carolinifolia 
Another rare species with leaves divided clear to the stem. It reminds 
one of the old Woodbine leaf. A spring bloomer with large clusters light 
pink flowers on 2 ft. stems, slightly fragrant. One of the parents of Ver- 
schafeltii one of the best of the old house plant varieties.
