GERANIUMS, Sweet-scented 
These old favorites conjure up in the minds of the older residents memories of 
days when every dooryard garden had a fragrant flower-bed filled with Scented 
Geraniums, Mignonette, Lemon Verbena, Tuberoses, and other old favorites. 
The Geranium leaves were cut with a few flowering branches and given to each 
caller to carry home. For many years these plants were forgotten and it is only 
by a long search that we have been able to assemble the varieties listed here. They 
belong in every fragrant garden and require little care. Plant them in full sun and 
ordinary soil. Take cuttings of your favorite kinds in late August and you can 
enjoy them in your window-garden during the winter months.
