Begonia Quality. Tub. Begonias are produced wherever bulbs are grown 
commercially, but the very best types are the product of California hybridizers 
and growers. Our Tub. Begonias and Gloxinias are all grown by two world 
famous California growers. They are the best tubers and they produce the 
best flowers. 
The size of the flowers and their quality does not depend upon the size 
of the tubers. We offer tubers that are 14”-1%” diam. If you plan to shift to 
outdoors start them in 5” pots. If they are to remain in pots use 6” or 7” pots 
with plenty drainage. Tubers of this size do not make quite as large plants 
as the 2” tubers but you can grow more varieties in a limited space and at 
much less cost.
