Paul J. Howard's Geraniums 
The Year Around Source of Garden Color 
The Geranium is fast regaining the popularity it enjoyed in earlier 
days. Due to the great improvement in size and color of these reliable 
flowers, they are now finding a wider variety of uses than ever, in beds, 
borders and ornamental pots. They are indispensable in Californian gar¬ 
dens and in adding alluring color to most all types of architecture. 
Paul j. Howard’s “Flowerland'’ takes pride in offering a splendid col¬ 
lection of the better new varieties and the superior condition of these fine 
pot-grown plants. 
In addition to the sizes listed, large specimens in full flower for patio 
and garden adornment are always on display at “Flowerland" in large pots. 
Improved Single-flowered Varieties 
ALICE OF VINCENNES. The blending of color 
in this variety is very striking. Pure white at the 
center, merging through deep rose to bright red 
at the edge. 
JEANIE. A unique Geranium with clusters of 
bright salmon rose florets each petal prettily 
notched at the edges. Foliage very glossy. Lovely 
in pots or in the garden. 
BEAUTY OF CHATSWORTH. A Paul J. 
Howard introduction and one of the finest 
Geraniums grown. It is exceptionally flori- 
ferous, producing continuously its huge 
trusses of unusually large florets, which are 
a most lovely shade of cherry-rose, a hue 
that is warm and rich, and petals that fair¬ 
ly glisten. It is a pleasing color that blends 
well with almost any other color in the 
garden. Beauty of Chatsworth is our lead¬ 
ing variety for large pot-specimens, one 
flower following another in such close suc¬ 
cession that the plant always shows color. 
ELEANORE. Lovely soft, clear pink. 
HERRICK. Intense glowing scarlet flowers on 
rather dwarf, compact plants. 
JACQUERIE. I mmense trusses of rich velvety 
scarlet, unsurpassed for bedding. 
MAXIME KOVALESKY. A most distinct and 
striking variety, a color that immediately arrests 
the attention. It is a most brilliant orange-red, 
almost a true orange color. There is no other 
Geranium like it. A vigorous grower with hand¬ 
some foliage. 
L'AUBE. We consider this the finest of all pure 
white single Geraniums. The stamens appear like 
a drop of gold in the center. A large pof of pure 
white Geraniums is unequalled for pure, delight¬ 
ful beauty. 
MRS. BROWN POTTER. The clearest pink va¬ 
riety known; beautiful bright rose-pink. Splendid 
as a pot plant. 
MRS. E. G. HILL. An exquisite shade of soft, 
light salmon; does not fade in the sun. This 
variety is always in great demand. 
SUSAN LEEPRE. A rare and most beautiful 
variety; a lovely shade of salmon with a golden 
orange suffusion. Robust, compact grower. 
PAMELA. Very attractive flowers, rich crimson 
with white centers. Fine for pot plants or bed¬ 
ding. 
Choice Double and Semi-Double Varieties 
APPLEBLOSSOM. Very pretty double flowers, 
pink shading to white 
BEAUTE POITEVINE. Semi-double. A most de¬ 
pendable variety, one that can be relied upon to 
freely produce its lovely rosy salmon-pink flowers, 
slightly shaded orange. 
MISSOURI. Brilliant scarlet. Because of ifs 
clear color and its great quantities of immense 
trusses and the large size and perfection of the 
individual florets, this variety has displaced all 
others in our list of similar color. It is one of the 
best of all for pot culture. 
MME. BARNEY. A lively shade of pure pink. 
A favorite since its introduction. Very fine as a 
pot plant. 
MONS. EMILE DAVID. A most unusual color. 
The very large flowers are mauve-rose, lightly 
feathered white. 
RADIO. A splendid new rich velvety red Ger¬ 
anium. Excellent as a pot plant. 
S. A. NUTT. The darkest red Geranium of all, 
rich, deep velvety crimson. 
POINSETTIA. A novel variety with narrow pet- 
alled double flowers, giving the appearance of 
miniature double poinsettias. 
MME. LANDRY. Clear salmon, center shading 
to copper. A magnificent flower, and one of our 
leading pot-plant varieties. 
MME. BUCHNER. Snow-white flowers produced 
in large trusses. 
Ivy Leaved Geraniums 
The Ivy Leaved Geraniums are especially 
adapted for window boxes, pots, and for 
covering banks, hillsides and parkways on 
account of their trailing habit. The foliage 
is bright shiny green. 
CHAS. TURNER. The best known and the fin¬ 
est of all rose-pink Ivy Geraniums. Growth luxu¬ 
riant, and a prolific bloomer. 
JEANNE D'ARC. Soft lavender, healthy glossy 
green foliage, exquisite color and habit. 
JOSEPH WARREN. A distinct and striking vari¬ 
ety; large rich purple-crimson flowers. 
LAVENDER. Smaller leaves than most' of the 
others, very glossy. Plants are of very trailing 
habit, and the flowers beautiful lavender. 
LA FRANCE. A rare and beautiful novelty; 
habit of growth like Chas. Turner, but the flowers 
are handsomely variegated. They have a white 
ground, with flakes and pencilings of rosy crim¬ 
son. Some flowers will be half white and half 
crimson, and others all white or all red. 
ENTINCELANT. Intense orange-scarlet, a very 
fine trailing variety for pots, baskets and park¬ 
way planting. 
FANCY LEAVED VARIETIES 
Especially fine for Pot Plants and Beds and 
Borders for Colorful Foliage Effects. 
JUBILEE. Salmon flowers; rich golden bronze 
foliage with deep chestnut zone. 
MRS. POLLOCK. An exquisite variety. The fol¬ 
iage is bronze, zoned wifh crimson and edged 
golden yellow. 
SPORT OF MRS. POLLOCK. Bright green, with 
bright golden-yellow margins.
