Miscellaneous Tuberous Begonias 
We have 2vout 30,000 tuberous begonia seedlings this year. About half of 
these are from the world famous Blackmore and Langdon seed. Balance are 
from seed of our own growing. We expect to have the following tuberous 
begonias for sale in January, February, March and April, 1945: 
Single mixed. Single Frilled mixed colors. Fascination. Carnation mixed 
colors, few white carnation. 
Camellia in following colors: Crimson, Scarlet, Pink, Rose, White, Yellow, 
Orange, Salmon, Mixed, Pink x Red cross. 
Also expect to have Narcissiflora, Evanciana Alba (white fragrant form of 
Evanciana), small quantity; Martiana, possibly some Gracilis, Wild Rose, and 
Evanciana for sale this next January and February. 
Tuberous species from South Africa. Leaf a little like 
Suther landi Weltoniensis Rosea, the old time house plant. Makes 
a nice graceful basket plant when pinched and allowed to branch well. Rooted 
cuttings ready from August on to winter, when we will have some tubers, 
20c each 
Tuberous X Fibrous Crosses 
Pi k F . In Begonia cressing it sometimes takes 500 crosses before 
in airy one gets a pod of seed to set on a tuserous x fibrous cross 
and there may be only a few seed in the pod. When-one gets the seed the next 
job is making it grow, so it is not an easy task.. We were fortunate in being 
able to grow a few plants of tuberous x Imperialis and out of all of them our 
PINK FAIRY is the best. The leaf is somewhere between the tuberous and 
imperialis. It is medium green and sparkles like crystals when the sun shines 
on it. Leaves can go up to 5 inches in length. Flowers are a medium shade of 
pink, around 3 inches in diameter with full camellia canter. They will flower 
the year round with the proper temperature. Gcod keeping quality. A few 
now ready. Stock limited, $5 00 each 
S s Same as above except white flowers, slightly taller 
White Fairy grower. Stock limited. Plants ready August. 
$2.00 each 
= Same as Pink Fairy but flowers are not a definite 
Salmon Fairy shape and not quite as nice though they are some- 
times slightly larger. It is the salmon shade we have so much demand for. 
Plants ready for sale in August, 1944. $2 50 each 
R d F d Same as Pink Fairy but flower carriage closer to the foliage. 
ve airy Flower 2% to 3 inch diameter full double but not full 
camellia center. Light shade of red. Of great interest for future hybridization. 
These crosses seem to carry a better keeping quality than the regular tuberous. 
Plants ready for sale in September 1944 in limited quantities. $3.00 each
