New American Beauty Geranium 



■1^,. 





We take great pleasure in introducing to our 

 many customers for 1913 the New American Beauty 

 Geranium. For the first time, after working on 

 this wonderful new Geranium for nearly three 

 years, we are offering it for sale. It originated 

 from a novelty collection and has stood the test 

 now nearly three years. 



Our Claim for American Beauty Geranium 



is that it surpasses all other Geraniums in its real 

 American Beauty color— 



1. In brllllanoy of color. 



2. In slz* of its larire blooms. 



3. In earliness of bloom. 



4. In constancT of bloom. 



5. In vicor, strenctb and stocky plants. 



6. In propasatlBK quality. 



7. In numbor of larse dusters of blooms. 



8. In selling quality. 



9. In a ^^ondarful ability to retain its color in 



cool or tbe bottest w^eattaer. 

 10. In a Geranium tbat bas come to stay as a 

 money maker. 



AMERICAN BEAUTY is semi-double, of the purest Ameri- 

 can Beauty color. It is so distinct that no difference can be detected 

 in the color of an American Beauty Rose. The only Gera- 

 nium of its color ever introduced. It flowers freely the entire season. 

 It grows compact, medium dwarf, of stately shape with lustrous green foliage, 

 slightly corrugated, with a brownish circle. It produces gigantic flower heads 

 very freely the entire season. We claim it to have larger flower heads than any 

 other variety of its kind. The individual blooms measure 2^ inches across and 

 have as many as eight fully opened, gigantic flower spikes and several half open 

 and more in bud, in eight-inch pots.

Somersworth, N. H. — A recent fire at 

 the greenhouses of William H. Wilder, 

 on Green street, caused a loss of about 

 $1,000. The boiler room, where the 

 flames originated, was completely de- 

 stroyed and one greenhouse was badly 

 damaged. A large part of the stock 

 was ruined by exposure to smoke and 

 the cold atmosphere. *" 



Springfield, Mo. — A. F. Shannon has 

 added another greenhouse, 22x70, to his 

 range at 210 East Park street. He 

 razed an old residence in order to make 

 room for it. He has increased his glass 

 area each year for the last three years. 

 His property is at the corner of Park 

 and Boonville streets, where he has 

 been located since 1883.
