Pelargonium Novelties 
T% - s 4 • .. 
When Easter Greeting Pelargonium Suitable for either bedding "opt • or for 
was introduced, the prediction was made pot culture..; It 'gives us pleasure there- 
that it would be the forerunner of a new fore, to offer„.the following sports ot 
race of ever-blooming pelargoniums, Easter Greeting. 
Our Everblooming or 
SWABIAN MAID— ( Schwabenmad- 
chen). This new sport of Easter Greet¬ 
ing has large reddish carmine flowers 
- with five very regular /black blotches 
bordered with purplish carmine. Very 
effective coloring. It's habit, foliage, 
robust, growth, arid everblooming quali¬ 
ties are like its parent Easter Greeting 
and can therefore be grown either as a 
pot plant or bedded out. 
:' v - "¥ 
WUKfEMBERGIA — Easter Greeting 
Sport. Medium sized 4 florets of a bright 
carmine, with large velvety, sharply 
defined blotches. Has all the good qual¬ 
ities of its,, : parent. Equally valuable 
bedded out or as a pot plant. 
Our bed of this variety at Minneapolis 
was very full of both bloom and buds 
and attracted a great deal of attention at 
the Convention as it was the first time it 
had ever been shown in this country 
planted out in beds. This variety is 
bound to make a ^place for itself with 
those who are 0 looking for something new 
in. bedding;plants. . . i - - ‘ . 
LUCY BECKER—This grand novelty 
is a sport of Easter Greeting and is like 
it in everything but color, which is a 
rosy pink. It is if anything even more 
free in bloom.

EASTER GREETING—( Ostergruss ) 
- “This new species is the earliest of all 
Pelargoniums with enormous florets and 
clusters having light green foliage and 
of dwarf robust growth. It blooms from 
March until Fall. The florets are of a 
fiery amaranth red % with five regular 
shaped spots. The first and only kind to 
bloom as well bedded out as in pots and 
to do so all Summer. The only kind that 
stands bedding out in groups. 
Nov. 12, 1912, the Ohio Experiment 
Station, at Wooster, Ohio, has tested 
Eastey Greeting for two seasons as a 
pot plant and found it to be the freest 
bloomer in their collection, surpassing 
any Azalea as an Easter plant. The past 
season they tried it bedded out and were 
much pleased with it as a bedder. 
This new ever-blooming Pelargonium 
was shown by us in the “Out Door Plant¬ 
ing Exhibition”, at Minneapolis. This 
bed at Convention time was covered with 
blooms and buds and remained in bloom 
until time for frost in September. It 
proved the most attractive novelty in 
bedding plants shown at the Convention. 
We predict that it and its sports will 
prove the forerunners of a new race of 
ever-blooming kinds that will increase 
the demand for a plant that rivals the 
Azalea in beauty.
