B. ‘Marchioness of Bath’

The Gardner’s Chronicle, ser. 3, v. 28 (1900) MAMMOTH BEGONIAS. — Most remarkable double flowers of tuberous rooted Begonias are kindly sent us by the Rev. E. Lascelles, Newton St. Another one, named Marchioness of Bath, is a white variety, and measures 5 inches across and 3 inches in depth, whilst its weight without the foot-stalk turned 3 ozs. Notwithstanding the immense size and weight of the flowers, the two last-named varieties have such stout stems that they are as perfectly erect in habit as any known as “starers,” and need no support whatever. We judge the flowers to be from plants growing in pots, and the size and excellence of them to be mainly due to perfection of strain and partly to good cultivation.
