- Description
- The Garden, v. 65, (1904) B. Mrs. H. T. Dixson: Winter flowering Begonias have been a great deal to the front lately, and they have proved most valuable plants for brightening the greenhouse and conservatory at a dull time of the year. The Begonia shown in the accompanying illustration received an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society on the 9th inst., when shown by Mr. H. T. Dixson, Woodside Nursery, Polegate. It is a very free flowering variety, and is at its best during winter; for this reason, it is certain to be welcome; the flowers are pink. The parents are said to be B. Schmidtii alba and Goliath, the first named being the seed parent.
