Double Camellia-Flowered 
BEGONIAS 
World’s Most Spectacular Flower 
Measures Up to 8 Inches Across 
Positively breath-taking are these new double Camellia- 
lowered hybrids. Their spectacular blooms, from early 
uly until late fall, measure up to 8 inches across. More 
colorful than ever, Stern's now offers these exquisite flow- 
ers in a wide range of brilliant colors. Their lovely shape 
is a masterpiece of symmetry. Grow them in shade— 
where clear bright colors are most needed. A most effec- 
ive cut flower when floated in a shallow bow] like a Water 
Lily—surrounded by its own leaves. 
Guaranteed to Bloom This Summer! 
A Continuous Display Until Frost 
Easy to grow in a shady location. They cannot 
stand full sun. For longest possible blooming sea- 
son, we recommend that you start Begonias in- 
doors in pots or window boxes in March. Set out- 
doors after all danger of frost has passed. They 
bloom in clusters of three, one large male flower 
in the center and two smaller female flowers on 
ither side. Remove these side buds as soon as 
they apoear. They are of inferior character and 
inhibit the full development of the central flower. 
This disbudding will make an amazing difference 
in the size and beauty of the flower.
