ROSE FORM NOVELTIES 1949 
The classical and most beautiful form of Tuberous Begonias 
has reached in the last years a standard of quality beyond 
previous expectations. These tubers are chosen during flowering 
season and staked from the beds that are grown for double Ca- 
mellia. The color range represents most of the shzdes of the double 
Camellia; however, please mark substitute as the supply is always 
limited. No seed this season. 
RUFFLED NOVELTIES 1949 
By interbreeding the best forms of the Camellia and Fimbriata 
Plena types, this group has reached perfection of new forms, some- 
times resembling the Camellia type, or at times like huge Fimbriata 
Plena. For beauty and variation they are rivaling all other types. 
The color range is the same as Fimbriata Plena types.

CHOICE SELECT VARIETIES OF 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Contrary to the practice of propagating named varieties of 
Tuberous Begonias, we offer selected seedling-tubers instead. 
During flowering season, all the choicest new seedlings, which are 
above average in size, form and color are separated. We are offer- 
ing tubers to Begonia lovers who desire only the finest for their 
gardens. Available in four types (double Camellia, double Picotee, 
Fimbriata Plena, and double Hanging type).

Chicaconlill: 
I have seen flowers grown from your seed many times and have 
tried to get your address many times. Due to the fact that your flowers 
usually carry Grand Prize Ribbons, the growers give some sort of song 
and dance, but not until 1 saw your ad in Flower Grower could I locate 
you. I have grown Delphiniums from all parts of the world and still 
think I like yours the best. Ira H. Seifert 
Salem, Virginia 
The blooms on the Delphinium plants which you sent to me are so 
beautiful that I am forced to write you again, expressing my admiration 
of the beautiful flowers which they have produced. The flowers are so 
beautiful that I will never be satisfied with the number I have, and 
will always want more of them. If this keeps up I am afraid I will 
have nothing but your Delphiniums in my garden.

Reporting on the seed purchased from you, I have some beautiful 
plants, some 6 feet high with 3 to 4 inch blooms; they have created 
quite a sensation. CaGato

Last fall I received your Delphinium plants. Now they are in bloom 
and they are wonderful. The white one has blooms 31% inches in diam- 
eter. All the plants were of different colors. Thanking you, 
Mrs. Chas. Nienhuis
