Doutle Camellia Hlowerced 
Without a doubt the Camellia-type Begonia is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world, and = 
the most gorgeous class of Begonias. It is no longer identical to a Camellia, but is ruffled and 
waved in forms which relieve austerity and add charm; so that the shape today is more nearly 
that of a beautiful fluted rose.

Quality in Begonias 
QUALITY OF THE TUBER. Size of tuber does not affect the purity and quality of a strain, or 
the type of flower . . . but it does influence size of plant, and quantity and size of blossoms, providing 
the various sizes are of equal age. The best tubers are those produced in one year from seed, as older 
tubers lose a certain amount of vigor and vitality. For this reason a plump medium-size tuber about 
one year in age produces a better plant than an older flat tuber of large size. When you have the com- 
bination of a year old tuber which is both large and plump, the results are outstanding. 
For bedding purposes and general planting, we recommend the planting of one year old tubers of 
medium to large size and plump firm quality. 
QUALITY OF THE STRAIN. (Color, texture, substance, bearing, etc.) As mentioned 
above, quality of the strain is not influenced by size of the tuber. It is dependent entirely 
upon the grower’s skill and standards as a hybridist and plantsman. You can be sure of 
good strains only by buying tubers of known quality from reputable firms. The strains we 
offer in both Dutch and Pacific Hybrids are very select, chosen on the basis of actual results 
observed through years of constant testing. We sincerely consider them to be the finest 
available at the present time. 
All of our Tuberous Begonias can be safely shipped to any part of the U. S., and are guar- 
anteed to arrive in perfect condition. Our method of packing is exceptionally careful and
