OUR 1938 INTRODUCTIONS 
BERNICE GEER—(S. C.-I. C.) The most sensational 
cactus of this season. Winning at New York-Cleve- 
land and other leading shows. Receiving award of 
honor at Georgia trial ground. Selected for Mr. 
Leonard Barron’s and Mr. J. W. Johnson’s Honor 
Rolls. This is what Mr. Barren stated in the Flower 
Grower: “Bernice Geer has the distinction of being 
the really worth-while cactus of the season. It is 
really a relief to get daintiness in the flower.” Quota¬ 
tions in the House Beautiful, by Mr. Johnson: “An 
incurve cactus with a personality. An artistic dahlia 
of distinctive color whose free blooming habits and 
good stem make it worth-while.” The foremost critics 
have all picked it out as the finest of the season. It 
is of the most beautiful old rose with a slight suffu¬ 
sion of salmon pink, slightly veined and tipped straw 
yellow or gold. Blooms 8 to 914 inches, with plenty of 
depth. Flowers are held 10 to 15 inches above first 
set of leaves on long, straight, stiff stems. A very 
prolific bloomer that keeps long after cutting. 
Roots $10.00; Plants $3.75; R. C. $2.50 
GENEVA GIANT—An immense semi-cactus of 
chrome yellow center blending to apricot, reverse of 
petals are of red orange. The petals have a graceful 
twist which gives it a combination of color that is 
not only beautiful but beyond words to describe. 
Blooms 10 to 13 inches with a great deal of depth 
held up on stiff stem 6 to 8 inches above the first set 
of leaves. It has been one of the favorites in our 
garden, as well as two other gardens in Long Island 
and in La Mesa, California.
