“Please “Read Before Ordering 
PRICES are based on well-established plants out of 3-inch pots anl 
expert packing. Larger plants are more, according to size and rarity. 
Where the price of a plant is high, the reason may be because the var- 
iety is hard and slow to propagate with perhaps few cuttings available, 
or because it is new and scarce, or that it is a new introduction and the 
stock of it 1s still small. 
To have an equal number of all varieties listed available at all times 
would require a large establishment which is not the case here. So if 
you will please send a second list from which substitutions can be made 
in case something is not available, it will save us both correspondence. 
Inquire for anything you want as I] have more than are listed, and 
continually add to my collection. Please send payment with order by 
Postal Order, Money Order or Check. It is not safe to send cash in the 
mail. Minimum order, $3.00. No seed or cuttings. Cultural Directions 
sent with each order. 
Transportation will be prepaid east of the Mississippi but 1f you would 
like Special Handling, please include 20c to cover it. We suggest it 
especially for Calla Lily Begonias which are more fragile than most. 
The begonia names used follow the latest research to date; synonyms 
have been added and more detailed description than is usual has been 
given to make the list helpful in visualizing each plant; also to help 
those of you who are struggling to identify your plants without being 
able to compare them with others correctly named. The few botanical 
terms used can be looked up in any good High School dictionary in whicn 
the various types of leaves are usually illustrated as well. 
All begonia lovers need good reference books on the subject and for 
their convenience the latest ones are listed below and will be sent 
promptly postpaid upon rceipt of price.
