BOWL OF MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Place Orders Early for Shipment When Ready 
Extraordinarily beautiful, both in color and in form, Tuberous Begonias are becoming justly 
famous. If you could see their gorgeous blooms in a California begonia lath house, where 
tubers and seeds are produced, you would not wonder at their increasing popularity. 
They come in many shades and color combinations. Some of them have a brilliant lustre, and 
others are pastel. For hanging baskets, pots, or garden, they are unsurpassed. In California, 
we grow them in a lath house, or patio, a partially shaded sun room, or in the garden wnder 
a tree, where they may be protected from the wind. 
They are easy to grow, but must have care and attention. In general they require part shade, 
regular and constant moisture and light acid soil with plenty of organic (leaf-mold, manure, etc.) 
material. 
Tubers ave usually ready in February—sometimes late in February, depending on the season. 
Orders should, however, be placed early for shipment when ready. We send them as soon as 
they are properly cured and ready for planting. 
Hallawell's California grown tubers are the highest quality obtainable and results from them, 
with proper culture, will prove very satisfying. Brief cultural directions sent free on request 
with order.
