TWISTY SPOT (REX BEGONIA) 
(REX BEGONIAS---Continued) 
HELEN LEWIS (Lewis, 1940). Black center and 
border with wide silver band. In right light it 
takes on a lavender pink overlay which makes it 
one of the brightest we grow. It is a real favor- 
ite with our customers here and many mail order 
ones too. Medium leaf. 90c each 
IT (Fairyland Hybrid). IT is making a very popular 
florist plant as well as window garden plant. IT 
grows to about 14 to 16 inches high with medium 
sized bright green Rex leaves with silver spots 
and is very well branched. IT carries a cluster 
of flowers from every joint with individual clus- 
ters stringing their flowers out one after the other 
to as much as 30 in a four-branched cluster, mak- 
ing sometimes over 100 flowers from each cluster 
over a period of several months. The plants are 
a literal shower of flowers. The lovely pink flow- 
ers are carried well above the foliage and they 
have a wonderful fragrance somewhere between 
a Rose and a Freesia. IT flowers the year around 
but is best from December to May. It is a mag- 
nificent houseplant.
