Exotic in appearance and brilliant in color, these luscious flowers of summer, which have been vastly improved by hybridizers both here and abroad, are bringing new splendor to our gardens.
All over America, they are grown by amateurs, whose results often challenge those of highly skilled professionals.
New Praise on Begonias
Because of their exquisite form, texture, and wide appeal, tuberous begonias are bringing new acclaim to an important group of plants.
Whether raised in pots or grown in the open ground, they supply a bright palette of color, particularly in partial shade, and bring a lively note of brilliance during the year’s warm months.
Tuberous begonias hold sway in California and the northwest, along the eastern seaboard, and wherever gardens are tended.
This is their heyday, and every indication points to wider popularity for these exotic plants — the delight of gardeners and flower arrangers.
