New Belgium Tuberous BEGONIA, PICOTEE 
THE GARDEN THRILL OF A LIFETIME 
The peak of perfection in the development of new Hybrid Begonias! Picotee has all the elegance of form and 
texture of the regular Camellia-flowered types, and each petal is beautifully bordered with richly contrasting yet 
harmonious color. Crisp, light pastel background colors are highlighted with salmon, rose, flame and coral stitch- 
ing and feathering. Picotee makes the most glorious corsages and table arrangements—and is gorgeous when 
associated with white Begonias in the garden.
