Pelargonium Novelties 
In 1910, when we offered, as our 
Novelty of that year the new ever-bloom- 
ing Pelargonium Easter Greeting, we 
made the statement that it would be the 
forerunner of a new race of ever-bloom- 
ing Pelargoniums. Since that time we 
have introduced, Lucy Becker, Wurtem- 
bergia and Swabian Maid. We also 
predicted that these four Novelties of 
our introduction would greatly increase 
the deniand for a plant that rivals the 
Our Everblooming 
SWABIAN MAID — (Schwabenmad- 
chen). This new sport of Easter Greet- 
ing has large reddish carmine flowers 
with five very regular black blotches 
bordered with purplish carmine. Very 
effective coloring. Its habit, foliage, 
robust growth, and everblooming qual- 
ities are like its parent, Easter Greeting 
and can therefore be grown either as a 
pot plant or bedded out. 
WURTEMBERGIA — Easter Greeting 
Sport. Medium sized florets of a bright 
carmine, with large velvety, sharply 
defined blotches. Has all the good qual- 
ities of its parent. Equally valuable 
bedded out or as a pot plant. 
Our bed of this variety at Minneapolis 
was very full of both bloom and buds 
and attracted a great deal of attention at 
the Convention as it was the first time 
it had ever been shown in this country 
planted out in beds. This variety is 
bound to make a place for itself with 
those who are looking for something 
new in bedding plants. 
We consider this much the best of the 
set, being much stronger in growth than 
Easter Greeting and showing the richest 
color of its class. 
Azalea in beauty. That they have filled 
this claim is shown not only by the num- 
ber of firms now offering them as a 
substitute for the Azalea for Easter but 
also by the fact that the demand now 
exceeds the supply. 
Our out-door bed of Wurtembergia 
was the most admired of any variety on 
our grounds last season, being covered 
with bloom, and buds until late in Sept- 
ember. 
or Remontant Set 
EASTER GREETING— (Ostergruss) 
This new species is the earliest of all 
Pelargoniums with enormous florets and 
clusters having light green foliage and 
of dwarf robust growth. It blooms from 
March until Fall. The florets are of a 
fiery amaranth red with five regular 
shaped spots. The first kind to bloom 
as well bedded out as in pots and to do 
so all Summer. 
Nov. 12, 1912, the Ohio Experiment 
Station, at Wooster, Ohio, tested 
Easter Greeting for two seasons as a 
pot plant and found it to be the freest 
bloomer in their collection, surpassing 
any Azalea as an Easter plant. The 
past season they tried it bedded out and 
were much pleased with it as a bedder. 
This new ever-blooming Pelargonium 
\yas shown by us in the “Out Door 
Planting Exhibition” at Minneapolis. 
This bed at Convention time was covered 
with blooms and buds and remained in 
bloom until time for frost in September. 
It proved the most attractive novelty in 
bedding plants shown at the Convention. 
We predict that it and its sports will 
prove the forerunners of a new race of 
ever-blooming kinds that will increase 
the demand for a plant that rivals the 
Azalea in beauty.
