PELARGONIUM NOVELTIES 
Our Novelties for 1916 
THOMAS CAIRO — The ground color 
is strawberry pink, with a large white 
center, and rich maroon blotches. It is 
very robust in growth and easy of prop- 
agation. It has a long season of bloom. 
It is a very free bloomer and the clus- 
ters are held well above the foliage. 
ROSE QUEEN — Rich rose color, with 
a dark brown blotch on the upper 
petals, large white center tinged with 
violet, has a fine habit, being unusually 
strong in growth. 
Our Novelty 
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 
for 1914 
remontant and hence has a long period 
of bloom. It is a dwarf compact 
grower. This is a very promising nov- 
elty. 
Pelargonium Novelties from Carl Faiss 
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 or a half dwarf 
nature and very sturdy. On account of 
its rapid luxuriant growth it is a very 
profitable market variety. 
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, Cattleya blue, very 
much like the Cattleya orchid. The 
upper 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. 
PRINCE BISMARCK — (Andenken an 
Furst Bismarck). Immensely large 
flowers, strongly crimped of fine shape, 
with from six to ten petals, color rich 
purple with velvety black blotches. 
Remarkably robust growth. The large 
clusters rise gracefully above the beau- 
tiful foliage. The blooming plant with 
its enormous flowers makes a striking 
impression. 
WOLFGANG GOETHE— Florets large 
and slightly crimped ground color, red- 
dish carmine, with five well defined vio- 
let black spots. Robust grower.

marked arid blotched with rose, the 
upper petals marked crimson maroon 
with large white center; petals heavily 
ruffled, giving it a double appearance.

oon, blotches on upper petals; a free
