TUBEROUS BEGONIAS 
Our Tuberous Begonias have all been grown from seed at York Gardens. We 
will have potted Begonias to sell here at the Gardens in the spring, summer and fall. 
These will be in bloom so that you can choose your color and variety. The prices 
will range from $1.00 and up, depending on size. We will also have hanging baskets 
in bloom, which will sell for $2.50. There will be a display of larger plants blooming 
which will make it well worth your while to visit the Gardens. 
REX BEGONIAS 
We now have Rex’s to sell here at the Gardens. Rex’s are grown for their 
beautiful leaves which, on some varieties, will reach 20 inches in length. They come 
in various shades of red, black, green, lavender, white, all blended to make striking 
color combinations. Most of them do bloom, as the Angel Wing Begonia and some 
are very fragrant, but the leaves, some curled and ruffled, are the main feature. 
They may be grown as house plants or, in the summer, in the shady garden. Rex’s 
want light but not direct sun. 
Potted in a friable soil of leaf mold and good garden soil they add a showy spot 
to any garden or home. If placed on the ground, they should have a bed of cinders 
or gravel as chewing insects like them very much, and, of course, their beauty is 
in their large perfect leaves. Keep well sprayed with water. On hot days the foliage 
will droop but a fine spray of water will bring them up fresh and lovely again in 
a few hours. Some good liquid fertilizer will keep them in good condition and 
bring on the new leaves. Repot when they become root bound. :
