HALLAWELL’S TUBEROUS BEGONIA SEEDS 
One of the most remarkable achievements in 
modern horticulture is the splendid develop-

hybridists. There are endless variations in form

most interesting and satisfactory pot plants. 
They may be grown from seeds and will bloom 
the first year from sowings made January

finest obtainable.
