SUNDERBRUCKII (Commonly called Star Begonia). 
The leaves of our planis vary from light green 
to green and bronze. They are 8 to 12 inches 
across and deeply cut into long narrow lobes. The 
underside is deep red mottled with light green. 
Spring bloomer with large clusters of light pink 
flowers. 75c each 
SUNDERBRUCKII X AUTUMN (Fairyland Hybrid) 
Black center shading to dark green on tips of leaf. 
Usuaily slightly smaller than Sunderbruckii. Same 
light pink flowers. Stock limited. Will propagate 
on order. 75c each 
CAROL STAR (Fairyland Hybrid). Caroliniaefolia 
x Sunderbruckii cross. Makes a deeply cut leaf, 
light green, very much like Sunderbruckii only 
more deeply cut. Lovely sprays of pink flowers on 
long stems above the foliage. The flower clusters 
drop their stipules that make Sunderbruckii look 
rather messy when clusters get older. This leaves 
a clear cut, clean and lovely flower cluster with 
nothing to mar its beauty. Spring bloomer but 
gives a lovely house plant all year around. It is 
a combination of two good house plants. Stock 
limited. $1.00 each 
TREE FORM 
CORALLINE LUCERNE. The largest of all this 
type. Large leaves, dark green upper with silver 
spots, red underneath; large clusters of deep pink 
flowers. Our stock is so limited we will propagate 
only on order. 75c each 
CORAL RUBRA (Often called the Angel Wing). 
Tall vigorous grower resembling bamboo. The 
light green leaves are so placed on the branch 
that they resemble the hunched wings of the il- 
lustratead Angels of long ago. The coral flowers 
are carried in large drooping clusters. Stock is 
limited but we will propagate on order. 75c each 
ORANGE RUBRA (Fairyland Hybrid, 1947). These 
are our crosses between Dichroa and Coral Rubra 
back with Dichroa, giving plants that grow erect 
like Rubras but not as tall, with the lovely orange 
Dichroa flowers. Cuttings from a selection of the 
best seedlings of this group. Stock is very limited. 
Orders will be filled as stock is available. 
$1.50 each 
PINK SPOT LUCERNE (Fairyland Hybrid, 1947). 
One of a group of seedlings, crosses between 
Coralline Lucerne and Dichroa, that in place of 
normal silver spotting on the dark green leaves 
has lovely pink spots. It is much shorter than 
Lucerne, growing only 3 to 34% feet high. Flowers 
are in slightly smaller clusters and a darker color 
—light red. It is greatly admired by our cus- 
tomers who see it here. We believe this is one 
of the most interesting groups of crosses for house 
plants that can be made. We plan this summer to 
grow a large number of second generation seed- 
lings from this group. Stock is very limited so or- 
ders will be filled as stock is available. 
$2.00 each 
WHITE RUBRA. Green rubra shaped leaf. Very 
fragrant white flowers in small clusters. Grows

ODD AND RARE VARIETIES 
CATHAYANA (South China). Bright green leat 
with crimson veins on upper side and mottled 
crimson underneath. Silver pink fuzz covers the

branched plant growing about 36 inches tall. One 
of the few orange flowered Fibrous with flowers 
one inch across carried in clusters. Very showy. 
$1.50 each 
LUXURIANS (Brazil). It is another novelty every 
collector of Begonias should own. Looks more like 
a palm than a Begonia. Medium green leaf, car- 
ried like an umbrella, is divided to the center, mak- 
ing many narrow leaflets. Small rosette of leaves 
in center of leaf where it joins the stem. Tiny 
white flowers carried in huge clusters. Leaves 
can grow to a foot across and ihe plant can grow 
to 10 feet tall but it can be kept any height by 
pinching. Very distinctive. $1.00 each 
DIADEMA (Borneo). Tall, growing to about 3 feet. 
Stems erect. Maple leaf shaped leaves of dark 
green with silver spots on each side of veins of leaf. 
Blackish hue in center of leaf. Flowers white, 
faintly flushed with pink. An old variety but some 
find it rather difficult to grow. Stock is limited 
but we will propagate on order. $1.00 each 
IMPERIALIS (Mexico). Low, small growing plant. 
Round leaf, brownish green. Hairs are on little 
pimples and give the leaf the appearance of vel- 
vet. Clusters of small white flowers held above 
the foliage. A very attractive plant but a little 
touchy to grow. $1.25 each 
CLIMBING OR TRAILING VARIETIES
