Description
Revue Horticole, Annee 83 (1911) (translated via Google Translate) New Tuberous Begonias: Tuberous Begonia breeders are continuing their improvements and making further progress. Each year, at the Paris Spring Exhibition, our specialists, Mr. Arthur Billard and MM. Vallerand, present in their beautiful lots of new varieties. We reviewed the main varieties collected. Among the varieties put on the market for two or three years, the following seem particularly recommendable: Madame Pierre Parre - double flower very heavily fringed like lace, a dark pink, center white, very elegant (Billard).; Revue Horticole, Anne 1913 New plants at the Coursla-Reine Exhibition. - At the recent Parisian exhibition, the exhibitors whose names follow obtained certificates of merit for new plants: Mr Arthur Billard, Avenue des Pages, Le Vesinet (Seine-et-Oise), for Begonias Miss Marguerite de Pietro, Miss Christiane Siegel, Mrs Pierre Parre.
