THE PERFUMED BEGONIA 
It is the variety WILD 
ROSE, a thing of beauty 
and a longtime joy. From 
plants formed in the grace- 
ful curves of a spraying 
fountain, swing showers of 
soft, pink bloom over glos- 
sy, richly green foliage. The 
blossoms carry the sweet, 
elusive fragrance of the 
wild rose. Illustrated op- 
posite. Each 80c. 
BEGONIAS CARLTON POMPON 
Sensational group of new, double-flowering,. long-bloomnig 
Begonias that includes spectacular form and color combinations 
not seen before among the Doubles. All make splendid pot plants. 
The foliage is always rich and dark, with a polished, metallic 
sheen in near-mahogany. Plants, only. 
CARLTON FLAME —The flowers, of a rather compact double- 
ness, are gathered in close clusters. The coloring is difficult to 
analyze, a blending of pink, and rose, and scarlet, with just a 
hint here and there of orange-touched apricot. Each 85c. 
CARLTON BICOLOR —Graceful blossoms, fully double and with 
many petals, but not in rosette form. The coloring is a rather 
rich and distinctive pink, with white at each petal base. Very 
good, indeed. Each 85c. 
CARLTON BLUSH—FEach flower is like a tight cluster of flori- 
bunda roses in miniature, palest pink at the center, shading to 
pure pink in the basal or guard petals. Intensely double, but 
open and graceful in the cluster. Each 85c. 
CARLTON BEAUTY—The densely packed, double blossoms are 
quite definitely in tricolor effect, clear pink at the base, then a 
stack of lemon yellow petalage, next yellow with rosy margins, 
culminating in a tiny center cockade of apricot rose. Each 85e. 
CARLTON PASTEL—Here the rather large pink-toned basal 
petals build up into super-imposed rosettes of blush-suffused 
white and pink-hinting cream that in turn melts into apricot 
pink and pale rose. Each 85c. 
CARLTON BIZARRE—Particularly large flowers and clusters, 
with wide guard petals of deep pink that carry high-piled, 
packed rosettes of lemon yellow, each rosette center-touched or 
shaded with rosy pink. There is a reminder of Persian Ranun- 
culus about the blossoms, both in form and in coloring. Each 85c.
