Pelargonium, or Lady Washington Geraniums 
The grandest of all flowering plants; do not resemble the common Geraniums in any particular, neither in foliage nor flower; 
more beautiful in every way. We here offer twenty distinct sorts, every one entirely different in color and every one a beauty. 
The Lady Washington Geraniums are the handsomest of all flowers once seen, never forgotten. 
Easter Greeting Set 
These are the latest varieties and are practically ever-blooming; 
do not fail to try these grand varieties. 
EASTER GREETING -This new ever-blooming Pelargonium was 
shown at the Mannheim horticultural exhibition in Germany. 
Planted out as a bedding plant and bloomed continually until 
late in the fall. It will prove the forerunner of a new race 
of ever-blooming kinds, as it rivals the Orchilds in beauty. 
The following description is from the German introducer, Carl 
Faiss: “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 fiery amaranth-red, with five large, reg¬ 
ular shaped spots. The first and only kind to bloom as well 
bedded out as in pots, and to do so all summer." $1.5® per 
dozen; $10.00 per hundred. 
LUCY BECKER —This grand novelty is a sport of Easter Greet¬ 
ing, and is lik« it is everything but color, which is a rosy- 
pink. It is if anything more free in bloom. $1.50 per dozen; 
$10.00 per hundred. 
SWABIAN MAID —This new sport of Easter Greeting has large, 
reddish-carmine flowers with five very regular black blotches 
bordered with purplish-carmine. Very effective coloring. Its 
habit, foliage, robust growth and ever-blooming qualities are

either as a pot plant or bedded out. $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 
per hundred.

of a bright carmine, with large, velvety, sharply defined

two upper petals have blotches of carbon-brown, the florets 
are three and one-half inches in diameter and are joined to 
enormous clusters which rise above the beautiful foliage and 
remind one of a Rhododendron cluster. It is of a half dwarf 
nature and very sturdy. On account of its rapid, luxuriant 
growth it is a very profitable market variety. $2.00 per dozen; 
$15.00 per hundred 
GERMAN GLORY -This splendid novelty is quite remontant, 
florets and cluster very large; ground color Cattleya-blue,
