PELARGONIUM NOVELTIES 
Our Novelty for 1914 
EASTERN STAR — A cross between 
Easter Greeting and Graf Zeppelin. 
Ground color wild rose pink, with five 
large reddish brown spots, edged with 
scarlet lake. This variety is somewhat 
remontant and hence has a long period 
of bloom. It is a dwarf compact grower. 
This is a very promising novelty. 
Pelargonium Novelties from Carl Faiss 
SET OF 1914 
GARDENERS JOY— The ground color 
is apple blossom pink, the two upper 
petals have blotches of carbon brown, 
the florets are three and one half inches 
in diameter and are joined to enormous 
clusters which rise above the beautiful 
foliage and remind one of a Rhododen- 
dron cluster. It is of a half dwarf 
nature and very sturdy. On account of 
its rapid luxuriant growth it is a very 
profitable market variety. 
WILHELM HAUFF— Flowers and 
clusters very large. Strongly crimped, 
and well formed florets. The ground 
color is a bright purplish pink with white 
streaks, on the upper petals are two 
large brownish blotches bordered with 
cinnamon red. Very robust habit and a 
profuse bloomer. 
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 equally 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, Cactleya blue, very 
much like the Cattleya orchid. The up- 
per petals contain two large purple 
magenta 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 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 Sets 
MRS. LAYAL — The true pansy gera- 
nium. The coloring and marking of the 
flowers are most extraordinary; light 
pink, white, dark purple, black, etc., al- 
most rivaling the pansy in uniqueness of 
flower. It is this combination of color- 
ing which obtained for it the popular 
name of Pansy Geranium. 
MAD. VIBERT — A grand flower with 
black maroon blotches bordered fiery red, 
the flower entirely edged with rose. 
SURPRISE — Large black blotches on 
upper petals, which have fiery red edge, 
surrounded with broad, wliite band with 
bright red spot in center. 
EMMANUEL LIAS— Mottled rose and 
white, much crimped, vigorous. 
MAD. THIBAUT. — White, richly 
marked and blotched with rose, the upper 
petals marked crimson maroon with 
large white center; petals heavily ruf- 
fled, giving it a double appearance. 
DOROTHY — Rosy salmon, dark mar- 
oon, blotches on upper petals; a free and 
early bloomer. 
MRS. ROBERT SANDIFORD — A 
charming pure white large flowering 
variety with ruffled edges and perfectly 
double. 
KING OF SPAIN — Reddish purple; 
fine bold flowers of grand form; lighter 
center. Good constitution. Very showy.
