Description
The Garden, v. 38, 1890 New Double Begonias of 1890: From M. Felix Crousse, of Nancy, I received the large number of nineteen varieties, all sent out by him for the first time this spring. Two of these have already been described amongst the best three double yellows. Of the remainder I shall only be able to describe some five or six, as many of the others, though they grew into fine big vigorous plants, either dropped the buds of their male blossoms in a semi-expanded state in a most provoking manner or only produced malformed or semi-double flowers, so that I have been able to form no opinion as to what their merits or beauties may be when seen at their best, and can only hope they may bloom more satisfactorily next summer, when I shall try them again. Aline Adam is also a fine variety, with good sized creamy, white flowers borne on fine stout upright stalks and showing themselves off thoroughly well
