. Plants, seeds, bulbs, and flowers : 26th year 1898. Nursery stock New Hampshire Keene Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. elegant trusses of large, pure pale pink flowers ; Countess Louise Erdody. This is the Be- gonia of all the Begonias, and a plant of unusual beauty and growth. The leaf, which has a me- tallic lustre, appears dark silvery in the center, shading into coppery rose toward the margin, which is broadly and evenly edged with the same hue, but darker and more brilliant. The veins are yellowish green on both sides. The striking peculiarity, however, which dis- tinguishes it from all other Begonias, consists in the fact that the two lobes at the base of the leaf do not grow side by side, but one of them winds in a spiral-like way until in a full grown leaf there are four of these twists lying on the top of the leaf nearly two inches high.
