- Description
- The Gardeners' chronicle, ser. 3, v. 21 (1897) Though this show may be said to be rather too early for tuberous Begonias to be exhibited in the perfect condition they acquire in summer, owing to the great efforts put forth by those who make of them a specialty, there is always a glorious display, and. the present show was by no means an exception in this respect. A long, narrow collection of double and single-flowered tuberous Begonia was exhibited on side stage in Tent No. 2 by Mr. Jno. R. Box, West Wickham and Croydon. These made an excellent display, and the plants were good in habit, and carried numerous flowers of capital quality. Few of them were named, but the following were all good: Diamond Jubilee, large double-flowered variety of yellow, of considerable depth; Queen of Wurtemburg, also double, but of rather different shape, and being much paler in the same color as the preceding one; Princess of York, lighter shade still; also, double Queen of Queens, rich apricot-very fine indeed. The names of the single ones did not appear, but the flowers were large, and possessed distinct and good color of commendable substance.
