Geraniums 
The zonal Pelargoniums, commonly called Geraniums, are of such value as flowering decorative plants practically 
the year through that they commend themselves to all who possess gardens and enjoy the superb stretches of color 
obtainable with them. The newer and improved types which we offer are exceedingly fine and even with the most 
ordinary attention may be relied upon to produce an uninterrupted display of bloom from early spring to late autumn. 
The plants are in 2^-inch pots. 
Three Grand Novelties for 1935 
California 
In the trio of new Geraniums to which we direct your 
attention . . . our offering to you for the current season 
. . . the variety "California” is truly a gem. 
Imagine a compact bushy plant with broad over¬ 
lapping foliage almost hidden with immense trusses of 
bloom and a color expression of delicate carmine-rose in 
the lower petals, the upper two flamed and overlaid 
scarlet and you will have a conception of its unusual 
color combination. As a bedding variety outstanding 
for points of beauty unexcelled. Try it. 
Each, 25c; 10 for $2.25. 
Delight 
This new Geranium we believe has been aptly 
named. Its a hybrid from the well-known Scarlet Paul 
Crampbel and conveys to every lover of flowers a sense 
of delight and pleasure . . . the warmth and glow ex¬ 
pressed in its unusual color will appeal to everyone who 
can appreciate the beautiful as expressed in nature 
through the medium of a beautiful flower. A bed in 
bloom shows a color effect all its own ... a glowing 
salmon with just a touch of scarlet. A Geranium which 
has come to stay. Each, 25c; 10 for $2.25. 
El Rey (The King) 
A new color in Geraniums . . . vivid orange-vermilion . . . something new . . . something beautiful . . . 
something you will derive pleasure from as possessor in your own garden. 
The King has arrived—the King of all Geraniums. What would the good old Padres say, could they 
return after a century or more has passed, and see EL REY, this new Geranium in full bloom, like a gay Spanish 
shawl, wrapping the countryside in bright vermilion. "Why”, they would say, “a miracle has been wrought”, 
and that is just what has happened. Into that family of old Geraniums which the Padres brought from Sunny 
Spain, a King has been born—a King not only in name, but a King of knightly bearing. For all his royal blood, 
this Geranium King is a gay and generous-hearted fellow. Welcome him into your home and garden and he 
will bring with him a long and colorful fiesta of bright vermilion flowers. 
In your garden the King will have a cheerful smile for all who care to enter. His very presence will brighten 
the hours you pass within your patio. When the silken flower-clusters open they spread themselves in gay 
parasols of flaming color. Often these flower parasols are so numerous they almost touch, beautifully covering the 
foliage of velvet green with a flaming canopy of color. Suffice to say that of all the hundreds of new plants we 
have given the world through our plant breeding efforts, this new glorious orange vermilion single Geranium 
is destined to become one of the most popular varieties ever produced. 
The color effect of a bed in full bloom beggars description. 
Price, each, 25c; 10 for $2.25.
