BEGONIA (Continued) 
Begonia multiflora 
Tuberous Rooted 
We are offering a superior strain of these 
lovely plants and we are confident that there is 
none better to be found anywhere. The flowers 
are very large, brilliant and clear in color, and 
of good substance. Thev may be started any time 
from January to April in pots or flats in porous 
soil or peat, and planted out after the weather 
becomes warm; or shifted to large pots and 
treated as pot plants. Use a compost of leaf- 
mould, peat, sand and loam with a liberal 
amount of well-rotted steer manure. Plant in a 
shady location and apply liquid manure occa- 
sionally when they have started blooming. In 
the fall, after the tops have died down, lift 
the bulbs and store away in dry sand in a warm 
place. Delivery January to April. 
In mixed colors only. $3.50 doz. 
DOUBLE CAMELLIA. The flowers are full 
double, of true camellia form and very large. 
Under ideal conditions flowers six to eight inches 
in diameter are not uncommon. 
DOUBLE FIMBRIATA. (Carnation Flowered 
Begonia.) Same as above but the petals are 
deeply serrated. 
il 
ROSEBUD. Full double, extremely large 
flowers of a distinctive rose-bud center. 
LLOYDI. (Hanging Basket Begonia.) An 
unsurpassed strain containing only double flow- 
ered varieties. It will produce hundreds of flow- 
ers from one bulb when well grown. Also use- 
ful as ground cover in shady flower beds. 
MARTIANA. (Hollyhock Begonia.) Blos- 
soms are produced along a main stalk as in a 
hollyhock. Single flowers of mellow-pink. The 
tubers are always small. 
MULTIFLORA. This is the popular begonia 
used for pot culture in Europe. It carries many 
medium to small size double flowers which lit- 
erally cover the whole plant. Will do well in 
sun or shade. 
SUTHERLANDI. A charming species with 
small light green foliage and spreading habit. 
Ideal for pot culture or for hanging basket. Pro- 
duces hundreds of orange colored flowers about 
one inch across. Although the bulbs are very 
small it is a rapid grower and soon entirely 
covers the pot. Highly recommended.
