BEGONIA 
F, HYBRID FIBROUS ROOTED 
Checking trials in Northern Europe during 
the summer 1954, we could examine Be- 
gonias under the most adverse weather 
conditions of many years. It was im- 
pressive how then the Fi Hybrids proved 
their superior vigor and hardiness. From 
our choice offer of the best Fi Hybrid 
strains, severely tested again, we specially 
recommend the following varieties. They 
are the latest progress in fine breeding: 
*Rosy Red, with the brightest rose color, 
light green leaves, extra dwarf. A member 
of the Thousand Wonders family. 
*Lucifer, an improvement on Indian Maid 
with glossy dark foliage, scarlet middle 
sized flowers. Medium high. 
*&kSnow, the richest and sturdiest white, 
large flowered, medium high. 
The F, Hybrid Begonias are the first to 
acquire their beauty and the last to lose it.

F, HYBRID TUBEROUS ROOTED 
MULTIFLORA 
*Home. As our picture shows, the plants 
are covered with medium sized blooms, 
carried well above the foliage. The mass of 
their salmon-orange brilliance is strikingly 
beautiful. The bulbs can be used again for 
several years.

CARNATIONS 
*Ladies Choice. (Enfant de Nice Improved.) 
After many years of hard work the breeder 
succeeded in producing an Enfant de Nice 
Carnation whose noble giant flowers are 
carried on the long wiry stems of Chabaud 
Carnations. The first color of this new strain 
is a delicate salmon rose, very much like 
Pink Beauty. Ladies Choice is a supreme 
cut-flower and deserves the special atten- 
tion of all progressive florists. 
*Camellia Flowered. (Perpetual Flowering.) 
The very double blooms are smooth edged, 
not serrated. They are built up to resemble 
a camellia. They display a range of bril- 
liant colors. 
CUTHBERTSON FLORIBUNDA

duces with proper culture five or more large, 
fragrant flowers per stem.

IPOMOEA 
Candy Pink. The first pure pink Morning 
Glory, Candy Pink is a very distinct flower. 
Big 4” across flowers are bright and cheer- 
ful; they last but one day, though each 
morning masses of new flowers are born, 
and thus throughout the summer until frost.

IMPERIAL STOCK 
The introduction of this new strain was a 
great achievement in the breeding work of 
Double Stocks. The seeds produce 75-85% 
doubles, and the weaker seedlings, which 
will bring singles, can be removed early. 
Now the florist can get 100% Double 
Stocks.

wide range of beautiful shades is now at 
your choice: 
Apricot, Azure Blue, Bright Rose, Canary
