blooming types particularly adapted for bedding and bor- 
der plantings. The individual plants are exceedingly well 
branched and formed. The plants are literally covered 
with blooms all through the spring, summer and fall, and 
adapt themselves readily for pot culture.

This class of Begonias grows to an average height of 12 
to 14”. The individual florets measure from 2 to 2\/, inches 
across. The numerous trusses of large flowers practically 
cover the entire plant, which, together with their exquisitely 
tinted glossy green and bronze foliage, gives them a tone 
of elegance not often found in any other perennial plants.

liage, the flowers a distinct shade of brilliant cherry- 
crimson,
