GERANIUMS 



MARYLAND 



Ever since we have been in the Geranium business we have 

 ondeavoiod to And a novelty on which we could stake our repu- 

 tation. In this endeavor we have raised hundreds of seed- 

 lings ourselves and discarded innumerable very promising seed- 

 lings offered by others as not possessing the quality we desired 

 should be in our first novelty. Several years ago we placed 

 in the hands of an expert hybridizer certain stock from which 

 we believed the desired results could be obtained, with instruc- 

 tions that he was to spare neither time nor expense to produce 

 a variety that would embrace as far as possible all that was 

 required in a Geranium— color, healthfulnoss, habit of growth 

 and freedom of bloom ; and we have no hesitation in claiming 

 that these qualities are all found in our novelty of 1914, the 

 •Maryland." 



The "Maryland" Is the result of a cross between Alph. 

 RIcard and LaPIlote. In habit of growth it resembles the 

 LaPilott', only much stronger, being more robust, vigorous and 

 branching. The foliage is handsomely marked with a chocolate 

 zone. The individual flowers are magnlflcent, semi-double, per- 

 fectly formed and of grand texture, being profusely produced in 

 enormous trusses. The color is of the most Intense, dazzling 

 fiery rod, of such marvelous beauty that words are Inadequate 

 to accurately describe its wonderful coloring and the exquisite 

 finish of the plant. 



"Maryland" is a variety that we Introduce to the florist 

 and the great mass of flower lovers with every confidence that 

 it will, with its most pleasing habit and strong constitution, 

 prove satisfactory in every way, and meet every requirement 

 of a first-class Geranium. 



Ready Jan. 1, 1914, 50 cts. each ; ?5.00 per doz. 



SCARLET BEDDER 



In "Scarlet Bedder," Introduced by Elmer D. Smith, of 

 Adrian, Mich., In 1913, we have an Ideal Scarlet Geranium in 

 every sense of the word. It is an Intermediate color between 

 S. A. Nutt and Alph. RIcard but being brighter or approach- 

 ing nearer to Scarlet than either of these. It Is a short, 

 stocky, sturdy grower, making flower stalks at almost every 

 Joint ; it is necessary to pinch out the buds to get a good growth 

 in pots; the trusses are medium size, not quite as large as 

 Nutt, but any deficiency in size is more than made up In the 

 number produced, as the bed will become literally covered with 

 the bright scarlet flowers. In comparison with S. A. Nutt It 

 is superior in every way, more free In bloom, more brilliant In 

 color, and the habit of plant is more compact. During the 

 past summer it has been tried out In all parts of the country 

 as a bedder and has done remarkably, giving universal satis- 

 faction, and the general verdict Is that It is the coming scarlet 

 bedding Geranium. 



Ready Jan. 1, 1914, $1.00 per doz. ; ?6.00 per 100.
