; : : Authoritative Books about these Beautiful Begonias 
by Worth Brown 
“Tuberous Begonias”’ 
Pleasingly written, and delightfully illustrated with pen 
and ink sketches, this is true to its dedication, “A Complete 
Guide for Amateur and Specialist.’’ Since the author’s 
hobby, as well as his business, is gardening, it contains 
every sort of practical information pertaining to the rais- 
ing, and the use of Tuberous Begonias, as well as complete 
descriptions of every type. Chapter® Eleven, alone, ‘‘Be- 
gonias—Month by Month”, is invaluable to any and _ all 
devotees of the enchanting “‘mockingbird”’.

“Tuberous-Rooted Begonias and Their Culture” 
Perhaps the best description of this nicely illustrated little 
book lies in this quotation from the author’s preface: “It 
has been my aim to present in this volume, in every day 
English, the results of my experience with these wonderful 
plants so that the ‘dirt’ gardener and flower lover may be 
guided in growing these plants, step by step, learning their 
likes and dislikes, and eventually becoming masters in the 
art of their cultivation . . . I merely give the results of my 
experience in their culture which has been most successful 
extending over a period of more than sixty years.”
