Pelargonium Novelties from Carl Faiss 
Set of 1913 
GRAF ZEPPELIN — Considered by 
many to be the best novelty yet sent out 
by Carl Faiss. The color is salmon red 
and it has equal sized reddish blotches 
bordered with scarlet. The flowers are 
of fine form, semi-double and they form 
gigantic trusses. The habit is compact 
and the flowers held well above the 
foliage. 
GERMAN GLORY — (Deutscher 
Ruhm). This splendid novelty is quite 
remontant, florets and clusters are very 
large; ground color, Cattleya blue, very 
much like the Cattleya orchid. The up- 
per petals contain two large purple ma. 
jenta red spots, distinctly veined. An 
exceedingly beautiful and entirely new 
color in pelargoniums. This kind has a 
very robust growth. 
QUEEN CHARLOTTE — Large crimp- 
ed flowers, six to ten petals. Ground 
color hermosa pink, with dark purple 
veined blotches, an unusually delicate 
coloring. Extra profuse in bloom; the 
large clusters unite in one gigantic bou- 
quet. Quite a remontant in bloom. 
Extra fine. 
PRINCE BISMARK — Andenken an 
Furst Bismark.) Immensely large 
flowers, strongly crimped of fine shape, 
with from six to ten petals, color rich 
purple with velvety black blotches. Re- 
markably robust habit. The large clus- 
ters rise gracefully above the beautiful 
foliage. The blooming plant with its 
enormous flowers makes a striking im- 
pression. 
WOLFGANG GOETHE — Florets large 
and slightly crimped, ground color, red- 
dish carmine, with five well defined vio- 
let black spots. Robust grower. 
Pelargonium Standard Sorts 
MRS. LAVAL — The true pansy ger- 
anium. The coloring and marking of 
the flowers are most extraordinary; 
light pink, white, dark purple, black, 
etc., almost rivaling the pansy in un- 
iqueness of flower. It is this combina- 
tion of coloring which obtained for it 
the popular name of Pansy Geranium.

black maroon blotches bordered fiery 
red, the flower entirely edged with rose.
