REX or PAINTED LEAF BEGONIAS.
These are unquestionably the most showy and gorgeous Begonias grown. The colorings, blendings
and metallic lustre contained in them are bewildering and render description inadequate while the
size and form of the leaves are of greatest variety. This year we have secured a grand collection of the
best sorts from Germany and Belgium, care being taken to select only those that are strong growing
and highly colored. It would require much space to offer them with descriptions of the different
varieties but many of them are beautifully spotted and unique in their markings Rich metallic
shades of various colors are blended with silver, light green, velvety dark green, pink, rose, blood-red
crimson and maroon. Some are covered with fine hairs giving the leaves a frosted appearance. They
are easily grown, rich but light soil, warmth and shade in summer being essential. We offer plants
from 3-inch pots, 25c. each. Our selection of 6 named sorts, 51.50; our selection of 12 named sorts,
$2.50. Mixed without names 20c. each. $2.00 per doz.
