THE WONDERFUL 
SCARLET GERANIUM 
“HELEN MICHELL” 
“ Helen Michell ” is Semi-Double, of the 
Clearest Possible Shade of Scarlet, 
is Early in Bloom, and Flowers 
Very Freely During the 
Entire Season 
It grows compact medium dwarf, with lustrous green 
foliage and throws up gigantic flower-heads very freely. 
We claim it to have the largest flower-heads of any of 
the Bedding Geraniums. The individual hlooms fre¬ 
quently measure 2% inches across. It is a common 
occurrence that a single 4-inch pot plant shows four 
full}' open gigantic flower-heads, several half open and 
more in bud. For earliness and constancy of bloom 
it surpasses all other Geraniums. We further claim 
that “Helen Michell” is the Best Commercial Geranium 
in existence.
