Plant

Description: The Garden, v. 61, (1902) NEW FIBROUS- ROOTED BEGONIAS. The subjects of our illustrations are two good new forms raised by Messrs. Lemoine. Messrs. Lemoine also announce another good plant in Begonia Buisson Rose, a hybrid of B. diversifolia and B. polyantha, with rose colored flowers and small foliage, growing into bushy plants over 2 feet high. This is suited for outdoor culture, as the flowers appear about the end of August. The plant can be lifted before frost and put into frames, to be transferred later to the cool greenhouse, where it continues to bloom till January.
