Califarnia- Grown 
Tuterous-Reoted 
Exywnias 
Tuberous Begonias are among our most showy flowers. They bloom from early 
summer to fall and not only make effective garden displays, but make beauti- 
ful decorations and corsages. From the many types grown, we have selected the 
finest tubers for plants for your garden. Plant in a shaded position outdoors, 
such as under trees or north side of house, where direct sunlight cannot reach 
them, or in pots for use on the patio or other outdoor display. 
CALIFORNIA leads the world in the production of quality tuberous-begonia bulbs. Commercially all tuber- 
ous begonias are produced annually from seed. Seed sown during January and February will produce flowering 
plants from July on, and a tuber upon maturing in December when the crops are harvested in California. 
Belgium produces some tuberous begonias which are shipped into this country, but the short growing season 
does not enable them to produce the large size bulbs that are grown in California. Imported bulbs are dug 
before the winter season sets in, along in September, whereas the California grown bulbs are making their best 
growth from September-to December when the best bulb development is made. 
The largest bulbs will produce the most and largest flowers, so in buying California grown, top grade bulbs, 
you actually buy MORE AND BETTER FLOWERS. While we produce all size bulbs, we reserve for own trade 
only the largest sizes, while the smaller sizes are released to be sold thru other channels where price rather 
than quality is the important factor. We ship the pick of the crop. There is none better.
