CAMELLIA FLOWERED, RED 
HISTORY 
The Begonia is one of the most popular bulbs to find a 
place in our gardens. Although discovered and introduced 
into cultivation about 1860, it was not until recent years 
that hybridizers developed the present size and beauty of 
the flowers. In Europe Tuberous Begonias have enjoyed 
enormous popularity for years, but for only a few years, 
in the United States, have they received the appreciation 
due them. No finer strains are available anywhere today 
than those grown on the Pacific Coast. Thousands of gar- 
deners are becoming Begonia enthusiasts each year and this 
increased popularity is well deserved. No flowers attracted 
more attention or received greater praise on Treasure 
Island than Tuberous Begonias. Our Chase Strain is 
unequaled and your garden will be enriched by their 
addition. 

CARNATION FLOWERED OR FIMBRIATA 
THE TUBERO 
Uf AS 
Chase, BEGONIAS 
are as fine as careful selection and growth can produce. Color, 
form, and vigor are checked to be sure that only the choicest 
are sent out. If you have not grown begonias before, you can- 
not find better strains; if you have grown them you will find 
these worthy of adding to your collection. 
DOUBLE CAMELLIA FLOWERED TYPE 
This type is the largest flowered of all the kinds. Perhaps for this reason it 
has become the most popular for general garden use and indoor flowering. 
The individual flowers will range from 4 to 8 inches in diameter. They re- 
semble a real camellia or a very double rose. The color range is very large 
from the deepest red to the sofest pink. 
They will be available in the following separate colors: American Beauty, 
Apricot, Cardinal-red, Crimson-rose, Flame-orange, Orange, Pink, Rose, 
Salmon, Scarlet, White, and Yellow. 
Large Tubers: 35c each, $3.50 per dozen. 
Jumbo Tubers: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen. 
PICOTEE SELECTION OF DOUBLE CAMELLIA FLOWERED 
The same form, but a trifle smaller than the usual camellia type. However, 
the lovely two-toned combinations of color are indescribably beautiful. The 
edges are marked with a deeper edge of contrasting colors. Available in three 
predominating colors: Pink, Red, and Salmon. 
Jumbo Tubers: 45c each, $4.50 per dozen. 
SUPER RUFFLED HYBRID TYPE 
A wonderfully improved type resulting from a cross between the camellia 
and carnation begonias. Flowers are very large and superbly ruffled and 
frilled with some resembling one, others another of the parents. They can 
be supplied in four different color blends, but the characteristic of color 
has not as yet been firmly fixed. 
Large Tubers: $1.25 each. 
SINGLE FRILLED TYPE (Crispa) 
For those who prefer single flowers, or want something different, this type 
has a delightful charm. The extremely frilled and ruffled edges make a 
novel flower of interesting color arrangement. The fluting creates an illusion 
of a picoteed edge which is most pleasing. 
The following colors are offered in this variety: Dark Red, Fascination (light 
pink shaded rose at the border), Orange, Rose, White, and Yellow. 
Large Tubers: 35c each, $3.50 per dozen
