BALL BEGONIAS 
FIBROUS ROOTED 
Ever examine the Begonia seed 
you buy under a magnifying 
glass) All Begonia seed we sell is 
erown in our own greenhouses 
and triple cleaned by hand, insur- 
ing more good seed and less dust in 
every packet. Remember, when 
comparing prices, that it’s plants 
per packet that really counts. 
Seed may be sown at any time, 
but a January sowing will pro- 
duce choice plants for spring 
combinations or bedding. 
DWARF CLASS 
*Ball Red. Fairly dwarf in growth and of uniform, per- 
fectly rounded habit. The plants are literally covered 
with medium large flowers of bright scarlet red with 
no rose shading. Because this variety, as well as its 
parent King of the Reds, is somewhat less resistant to 
a form of rot than most others, care must be used to 
control soil moisture and humidity especially when plants 
are small. Watering should be done only in the mornings 
of bright days. Tr. pkt., $1.00; 44; 0z., $2.75; 1% oz., $5.00.

it was selected. Under winter and-spring conditions the 
color is a deep rich rosy red which gradually fades to a 
bright luminous pink with the coming of warmer weather.
