Description
Translated from French using Google Translate: Le Jardin. Paris: Librairie horticole du Jardin, 1887-1921. 1901: Page 344 & 360 http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/33784 Two new Begonias The two varieties of Begonia that we present to the horticultural world are hybrids of a decorative gravity value for the gardens from the spring to the frost and for the trim of the greenhouses or winter gardens possess the hi vernal season. These new gains have the precious advantage of being perpetually blooming, while giving them superb clusters of flowers of great breadth. These new products, obtained by M. Theulier, a horticulturist in Paris, will be put up for sale next spring under the name of Begonia 'Theulieri'. Here is a short description of these plants. Begonia Theulieri carminata (n ° 1) hybrid of Begonia semperflorens Joachim, Lheureux and B. s. gracilis rosea; this variety the foliage of B. s. Versaliensis (No. 4), but it surpasses the latter by its vigor and the rigid paralleling of its ligaments, all of the same height and of the same size. The clusters of flowers are of long duration and much more voluminous; the flowers, of a very pretty shade carmine shining red blood vein, are almost double in size. Begonia Theulieri rosea (no. 3) hybrid of B. s. Rodolphe Lheureu and B. s. gracilis rosea: this variety differs from the previous one in its fresh pink color, having much analogy with that of B. s. Rodolphe L’Heureux. These two species are increasingly multiplied by cuttings, and they will soon, because of their qualities, soon spread in the gardens. The comparison with the B. s. versaliensis and the B. ‘Triumph of the Pereux’, represented also on our color board gives a perfect idea of the superiority of the novelties that we introduce today.
