. Fioristi' review [microformati]. Floricoltura. OTANICALLY parlando, e anche classicamente parlando, la begonia è "tutto" nella sua ampia cerchia di connessi o associati di piante. Non solo è un insolitamente grande genere, comprendente specie e varietà onu- numerate e quasi in- numerable, ma è il solo genere di qualsiasi importanza nella sua famiglia, l'essere- goniacese. Essa dà il suo nome alla fam- ily e praticamente è la famiglia-con un numero illimitato di enfasi sulla "è". Gli altri due o tre generi nell'essere- goniacesB famiglia sono così piccole e le società INSIG- nificant che essi reall

. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. OTANICALLY speaking, and also classically speaking, the begonia is "the whole thing" in its wide circle of related or associated plants. Not only is it an unusually large genus, comprising species and varieties un- numbered and almost in- numerable, but it is the only genus of any importance in its family, the be- goniacese. It gives its name to the fam- ily and practically is the family—with unlimited emphasis on the "is." The other two or three genera in the be- goniacesB family are so small and insig- nificant that they really *' don't count.'' They are "poor relations." Speaking classically again, the begonia is It, un- rivaled in its domination. Parentage of the Heal Begonias. Since the species and hybrids of the begonia are already so nearly countless and many of them are ex- ceedingly beautiful, any newly introduced variety must have ex- traordinary merit to win favor or distinc- tion, or even an indif- ferent nod of recogni- tion. It seems prob- able, therefore, that John Heal, of James Veitch & Sons, London, England, has worked sufficiently hard for such success as he has attained in producing from Begonia socotrana his new type of winter- flowerinjj plants, now commonly known as the Heal begonias. He has earned his reward by means of persistent and intelligent experi- mentation. The credit due him is increased by the fact that his hy- brids must endure the test of close competi- tion with such prime favorites as Gloire de Lorraine and Glory of Cincinnati, which also are descendants of B. socotrana. Like many human be- ings, B. socotrana de- rives its chief renown from its children. Yet it could scarcely be one of the ancestors of so fine a race of plants without having some excellent qualities of its own. It could not be- queath characteristics that it did not possess. Though its habit of blooming in the winter may be its greatest recom- mendation to the hybridizer, it has ot
