Named varieties of Tuberous Begonias. The following are the most gorgeous crea- 
tions of Tub. Begonias ever produced. “Out of this world,” is an overworked phrase 
too often effusively used. But it really fits these named varieties. They are unbelievably 
and indescribably beautiful. Therefore I can only tell you their color and the class to 
which they belong, with something about the size. 
Autumn Glow. Extremely large cristata. The crests are deep copper contrasting with 
the apricot of the rest of the flowers. Up to 10” wide. 
Fascination. A crispa flower, white with a pink line on the edge, or picotee edge. 
Red Triumph. A ruffled camellia type of ruby red with a velvety texture. Very large 
flowers. 
Sunset. Profusely frilled crispa type, light copper with scarlet edge.

THE ORCHID FAMILY — Orchidaceae 
Many of our customers tell us they have long wanted to grow an orchid. It is possible 
for anyone to do so. 
We do not have much space here to describe them or to give culture directions. If 
genuinely interested, you will be pleased to send us 25c for “How To Grow Orchids.” 
This 10 p. booklet describes many types and gives culture and potting directions. But it 
is too brief about Cattleyas. If Cattleyas interest you, send for our 1949 Orchid Price List. 
We recently found only a few hundred stored away, so you must send us 15c for it and 
6c more if for air mail delivery. This gives brief but sufficient culture information. It 
also tells how to make a Wardian case. Listings in this are cancelled.
