Description
The Canadian horticulturist, v. 25-26, 1902 B. ‘Bruant’: Another good variety for summer flowering is the dwarf growing, white flowering begonia Bruant (Fig. 2355). This pretty little begonia can be easily kept during the winter, its bright glossy green foliage being most acceptable even when not brightened up with its ivory white blossoms. It must not be given as much water however during the winter as when it is in active growth in summer time, The Begonias mentioned as bedding varieties in last month's journal are also good varieties for culture in windows, either as pot plants or in window boxes. These Begonias will be found to be quite an acquisition to the comparatively limited list of flowering plants suited for window boxes in shaded positions.
