SALMON SPRINGTIME 
NEW PELARGONIUMS FOR 1938 
IDA HENLEY (1938) — Velvety Maroon sport of 
Piaster Greeting which sported in our own green¬ 
houses in 1935. A heautiful dark velvety maroon 
color. It has all the good qualities of Easter Greet¬ 
ing, a far better color and makes a more shapely 
plant. Color is uniform on each petal with a warm 
rose tint on the outer edge and deep salmon maroon 
in the center. Large clusters with 5 to 8 florets. 
Very early with a long period of hloom. We })redict 
a great future for this variety. 
SALMON SPRINGTIME (1938) — Originated at Lee- 
son’s Greenhouse, Leipsic, Ohio. It is a sport of 
Springtime. In color it is a heautiful salmon rose 
pink, much darker than its parent. The foliage and 
growth are very similar hut has a much more 
striking color. A splendid addition to the popular 
Springtime.

five sports.
