Tue ancestors of modern 
Tuberous Begonias came 
from ‘south of the border,” 
many of them from Bolivia 
and Peru. Hybridizers have 
been very active in crossing 
one species with another, 
and their work has been re- 
warded with the many types 
and colors now available for 
our enjoyment. All colors 
except blue are represented, 
and in form they often 
resemble roses, camellias, 
fuchsias, and _ thin-petaled 
poppies. 
It should be remembered that 
the size of the bulb is no in- 
dication of the size of the 
bloom it will produce. 
5% discount on all orders 
received before March 15; 
if 100 or more tubers are 
ordered at one time, an ad- 
ditional discount of 5% 
will be allowed, except in 
the case of collections.
