CRISPA 
CRISPA 
A single Begonia with edges so deeply cut and crimped and frilled that the flower 
has the appearance of icy crispness. There is an ethereal quality to the chaste Crispa 
flowers that is unapproached by other types in this lovely family and makes them 
especially desirable for particular decorative arrangements. They come in shades 
of pink, salmon and white. 10 for $6.50 and $7.50. Staked stock, 10 for $10.50. 
CRISTATA or CRESTED 
These are single flowers with each of the lightly fluted petals bearing crested 
growths resembling the comb decorations of a rose-combed rooster. More often 
than not the crest is of a different tint than the rest of the petal. It scunds fantastic 
but the flowers are really beautiful and the cut-flowers make gorgeous table decora- 
tions. Mixed colors. 10 for $6.50 and $7.50. Staked stock, 10 for $10.50. 
FIMBRIATA 
The Carnation-flowered Begonias are an interestingly different type, having fully 
double flowers with short, deeply serrated, fringed petals, the mature bloom really 
resembling a carnation. In our plantings last season the Fimbriatas were the best 
they have ever been and we were overwhelmed by the magnificent display they made. 
This is one of the varieties you will just have to have once you have seen a fully de- 
veloped flower. The colors are pink, salmon, yellow, and white. 10 for $3.85, $6.50 
and $7.50. Staked stock, 10 for $10.50. 
PICOTEE 
A Camellia-type flower with the edges of the petals in a different tint from the 
remainder of the bloom. A very showy plant. In mixture only. 10 for $3.85, $6.50 
and $7.50. Staked stock, 10 for $10.50.
