NEW GERANIUM 
“JOHN WALSH” 
Novelty of 1915 
One of the most pleasing varieties offered. 
We take pride in placing this beautiful selection 
before our customers as this is the first season offered 
for sale. The plants are strong and vigorous with a 
thick, well set foliage of deep green and a well de¬ 
fined zone in each leaf. 
The exceedingly large flower heads, averaging from 
20 to 30 individual open blooms and about the same 
amount of buds ready to open are borne on long, 
stiff, straight stems, carried well out from the foliage. 
Individual flowers in December measure 2 to 2!4 
inches across. Color quite difficult to describe owing 
to peculiar shading and its transparent effect. The 
extreme outer edge of the petals shows a clear scar¬ 
let shading to amaranth pink about midway of petals; 
the lower or inner part has a conspicuous pearly 
white, with heavy carmine veining; the colors on the 
three upper petals are more set, while two lower show 
a French gray. On the under side is shown a trans¬ 
parent effect of a silvery gray white with the out¬ 
side colors showing through. Colors turn darker as 
the blooms age. 
Small plants: Each SOc., doz. $5.50. 
Large plants: Each $1.00, doz. $11.50.
