Our Pacific Hybrids 
The most beautiful Tuberous Begonias in the whole, wide world come from our own 
Pacific coast! And those we have for your selection and delight are from the Brown Bulb 
Ranch and the Hybridizing Gardens of Vetterle & Reinelt, both located at Capiotla, 
California, both famous the world over! These Pacific Hybrids, from carefully selected 
Strains, are distinguished for their huge,  exhibition-size blooms of faultless color and 
texture, and their exceedingly strong stems necessary to support these big beauties. 
Our Dutch Hybrids 
Imported for you directly from C. G. VanTubergen, Ltd. of Holland, these Tuberous 
Begonias are very beautiful in their own right! The blossoms are exceptionally well 
formed, moderately large, in a wide range of lovely, clear colors. The attractive foliage 
is well placed, the stems good and strong. These Dutch Hybrids, highly desirable in 
every way, are much less expensive than our own Pacific Hybrids, due to lower opera- 
tional and labor costs abroad. Hence they present the perfect opportunity for the ardent 
lover of beauty to enjoy these Wonderful Tuberous Begonias at very little expenditure!
