Pelargonium Novelties 
In 1910, when we offered as our 
Novelty of that year the new ever-blooni- 
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 demand for a plant that rivals the 
Our Everblooming 
SWABIAN MAID — (Schwabsnmad- 
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 ever-blooming 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 vari- 
ety is bound to make a place for itself 
with those who are looking for some- 
thing new in bedding plants. 
We consider this much the best of the 
set, being much stronger in growth than 
Easter Greeting and showing the rich- 
est color of its class. 
LI'O BECKER — This grand novelty 
is a sport of Easter Greeting and is like 
it in everything but color, which is a 
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 
rosy pink. It is if anything even more 
free in bloom. 
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 regu- 
lar 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 
was shown by us in the “Out Door 
Planting Exhibition” at Minneapolis. 
This bed at Convention time was cov- 
ered 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.
