Double Varieties, 



Mrs. E. G. Hill. "A superb novelty, and entirely distinct from any previous variety. The 

 flowers are double, nearly 1J inches across, of most exquisite shape, ground color pale 

 blush, overlaid with a delicate lavender shade ; trusses of great size, measuring nearly 

 six inches across, and keeping in perfect shape for a long time. The habit of the plant 

 is free and robust, and very free flowering." 



Peter Henderson. "Another fine variety with exceedingly bright orange scarlet double 

 flowers of fine shape, with base of petals pure white; trusses globular and freely pro- 

 duced ; habit free, short jointed and stout." See report in proceedings of Nurserymen's 

 Association held at Cleveland, Ohio. 1879. 



Richard Brett " Immense trusses of flowers of that peculiar orange color of which 'Jeal- 

 ousy ' is the type, very double; an entirely new shade amongst double varieties; a 

 grand bidder and of great merit." 



Robert George. "A deep crimson scarlet of great size, brighter, and more decided in color 

 than Deputy Laflize; a remarkable free flowerer, and of fine strong growth, without 

 coarseness." 



The Blonde. "Another distinct and beautiful variety, quite different from any of its class; 

 ground color salmon, deeply shaded orange, base of petals white, with a distinct margin 

 of white around each ; flowers of the finest shape ; trusses of great size ; habit, all that 

 can be desired." 



Remarkable. "A much improved Ernest Lauth, with better shaped flowers of a deeper 

 shade; trusses very large, and as freely produced as the freest flowering single kinds." 



Dr. Phinney, (A. T. Simmons.) "Intense scarlet, shaded with deepest chesnut crimson, 

 individual flowers of great size ; trusses very large and freely produced ; a superb 

 variety of great merit " 



Hazel Kirke. " This is a variety with immense trusses of rich purple crimson flowers, 

 short jointed growth ; and a most distinct and beautiful Geranium. This was shown in 

 New York, as Mazeppa, which was an error, hence the change." 



Single Varieties. 



Mary Hallock Foote. "Immense trusses of bright pale salmon, individual flowers, very 

 large, and of the finest shape, with a pure white eye ; a grand variety." 



Beacon. " Flowers of deep crimson scarlet, of fine shape, small white eye ; large trusses and
