PELARGONIUM 
For twenty-four years we have been growing 
pelargoniums in quantity and shipping to the 
wholesale trade. Years ago we discarded the old 
varieties which have been superceded by newer 
and better sorts. As new varieties are dissemi¬ 
nated, we add them to our list provided they are 
an improvement over the older kinds. Our stock 
is arranged so we can propagate continuously 
throughout the year. We grow all of our stock 
in the greenhouse and it is especially selected for 
blooming qualities and freedom from disease. 
Plants propagated from greenhouse stock are far 
superior to those taken from field grown plants. 
All stock is perfectly free of white fly. With ten 
houses devoted exclusively to pelargoniums we are 
the largest growers of this plant in America. 
Two iron frame Lord & Burnham houses, 40 x 100 
feet have been added to increase our production 
of pelargoniums. In 1936 three new houses were 
built especially for propagating. 
All plants are strong, well rooted, free of 
white fly and other insects. Clean stock means 
a great deal to our customers. We spare no ex¬ 
pense to have our stock healthy and free of 
fungous diseases. Several thousand pelargon¬ 
iums are propagated every month of the year and 
we grow them in large enough quantities so that 
quality stock can be produced. Every few days we receive letters compliment¬ 
ing the quality of our plants. 
Pelargoniums are one of the leading blooming plants for Easter, Moth¬ 
ers’ Day, and Memorial Day sales. Some varieties begin blooming early in March 
and others in April and continue through April, May, June and later. 
Many of the better varieties of pelargoniums originated with Carl Faiss in 
Germany. We strongly advise growing some of his recent varieties «nd some of 
the new American varieties. Many of them will replace several of the standard 
sorts and are far superior to many of these varieties.
