IRVINGTON BEAUTY (New)—Since introducing this 
beautiful new Geranium in 1927, the demand has con¬ 
stantly exceeded the supply. It is one of the most pro¬ 
lific of all Geraniums, flowering earlier and later than 
all other varieties, every branch producing an immense 
truss of rosy salmon pink flowers. It is not unusual 
for a four-inch pot plant of Irvington Beauty to show 
five to seven flower heads at one time. Every pro¬ 
gressive florist should grow Irvington Beauty for in¬ 
creased profits.

this year. Florists who are not growing Fiat are miss¬

good growth, and an intense dark salmon pink in color.

BEAUTE PQITEVINE —'For many years Poitevine has 
ranked as the leading pink Geranium. In color, beau¬ 
tiful shrimp-pink. One of the best for pot work. 
COMTESSE DE IIARCOURT —One of the two best 
white Geraniums. The large trusses of pure white 
flowers hold the color in excellent shape.

planted. Helen Michell cannot be surpassed in either 
pot work or outside planting. Enormous trusses bear 
brilliant scarlet flowers that do not fade in the sun.

double white in cultivation. The flowers are borne in 
large trusses of the purest snow white, retaining this 
pure whiteness even in the height of summer. For win¬ 
ter blooming La Favorite is excellent. Your profits 
will increase by using this favorite. 
MADAME LANDRY —-The salmon-pink Geraniums have 
been in constant demand for the past five years. We 
have never been able to grow enough of Madame Lan¬ 
dry to supply the demand. The color is dazzling sal- 
mon-pink with a slight scarlet shading. The flower 
heads are large and carried on long stems. 
MARQUIS DE MONTMART —Commonly known as the 
Blue Geranium. In color a rich soft purple, a very 
striking color. Of good growth. 
MRS. RICHARD GLOEDE —A very good new Geran¬ 
ium that is being grown more widely each year. The 
color is similar to American Beauty but more brilliant. 
Of good branching growth. 
RED BARNEY —A new variety of brilliant red that is 
very prolific. For pot forcing it is among the leaders. 
Of good branching habit. 
RADIO RED —The most intense scarlet in cultivation. 
The color is so brilliant that it instantly commands at¬ 
tention. Radio Red is fast becoming the most widely 
used red variety. It is the best red Geranium. 
E—Covered continuously with flower 
heads, often 6 to 7 at one time. 
MADAME BARNEY —A very profuse bloomer, the in¬ 
dividual florets being of very large size. The color is 
pure deep pink. Considered the perfect bedding Ger¬ 
anium. 
No plant lends itself to such general usefulness 
as the Geranium. For pot work and bedding it is 
unsurpassed.. We carry at all times immense quan¬ 
tities of this indispensable florist’s plant but have 
sold out early the past few seasons. Make your 
reservations early.

of Fiat that is fast becoming the

prolific of all double geraniums—

pots with an average of four to 
five large flower heads. In color, 
beautiful Enchantress pink. Stock 
is very limited. $1.50 per 12,
