New Scarlet Bedding Geranium 



"Helen Michell" 



This cliarmiiig variety is by all odds the most brilliant and finest scarlet geranium ever put on the market. 

 The blooms are gigantic and the number of flower heads on the individual plant is remarkable. It is won- 

 derfully vigorous and hardy. Starts to flower early in May and continues uninterruptedly until cut down by 

 frost. Even through dry hot weather it retains its brilliancy of color and great flowering qualities. It is of 

 medium height, very compact with lustrous heavy foliage. The flowers are semi-double, while the individual 

 florets are frequently 2 inches in diameter. We have already booked orders for some oO.uOO plants. The 

 stock is limited and we predict a heavy demand for "Helen .Michell."

Gentlemen ; 



Relative to the new Geranium "Helen Miehell." whieb 

 was shown to us a few davs aii^o. would say that we con- 

 sider this variety a GREAT LMPROVKMENT over Alphonse 

 Ricard. The fli)wer is imrne on a lon^, stiff stem, is 

 MUCH LARGER than the Ricard variety, and the color 

 is superli. It appeared to us to Ije a very VIGOROUS 

 GROWER and UNUSUALLY FREE.. We have known of 

 this variety for the past two years and thinli it will be 

 one of the grandest bedders in commerce. 

 Y'ours truly.

 Gentlemen : 



We take pleasure in assuring you that we were very fa- 

 vorably impressed with the new GERANIUM -HELEN 

 MICHELL." It certainly possesses merits of exceptional 

 value to the grower, and we are confident it will imme- 

 diately find its place among the leading class of Geraniums. 

 Respectfully yours,
