AMARYLLIS 
Diener's Everflowering Mammoth Hybrid 
Chicago, Illinois, January 27, 1934. 
Mr. Richard Diener, Oxnard, Calif. 
Dear Sir: The Amaryllis seeds which I got from you in 
1930 at $2 per 100 have bloomed twice and range in color 
from almost white to dark red. With new seedlings and 
offshoots I have about 1000 plants and am very proud of 
,hem - Yours truly, TERESA PATTERSON. 
PELARGONIUMS 
(Lady Washingtons) 
Diener's Newest Everflowering Hybrids 
These new pelargoniums are second and third genera¬ 
tion crosses from Eastergreeting. The flowers are over 
twice larger than the Eastergreeting type and flower 
the whole year around, which makes them all the more 
valuable. The plants are of semi-dwarf growth and in 
flowering resemble Azaleas. For those who grow pot 
plants or for bedding these are very valuable and easy 
sellers in any size as they flower from cuttings and keep 
on flowering continually. 
Through the introduction of these new varieties, 
pelargoniums will take on a new popularity as the 
colors and size are so unusual and appealing. 
No. 1. SANTA MONICA. —La France Pink with 
large, deep red spots in the center of two 
upper petals. Surrounded by rose pink. 
Single flowers three inches in diameter. A 
beauty. 
No. 2. DIENER'S GIANT.— Spinel pink. Two 
upper petals have large, blood red spots in 
center. Surrounded by rose pink. Single

Unquestionably the largest pelargonium in 
existence.

salmon sheen. Deep red spots in center of
