Description
The Gardeners' chronicle, ser. 3, v. 36 (1904) B. Margaret Gwillim: Much improvement has been made in recent years in tuberous-rooting Begonias, and any further advance in these lovely flowers must be difficult of attainment. Several meritorious flowers were exhibited at the recent show at Holland House, including the one depicted in our illustration at fig. 39. It was shown by Mr. A. Gwillim, Cambria Nursery, New Eltham, Kent, under the name of "Margaret Gwillim," and had large, well-shaped flowers of a rich yellow color, being nearly six inches across. The Floral Committee recommended it an Award of Merit.
