1942 INTRODUCTIONS 
Eight new Lady Washington Geraniums, selected as the 
finest of numerous seedlings and mutations originated with 
California specialists. They were chosen for vigor or free 
flowering quality, attractive coloring or form of flowers. 
Each one is a variety of distinctive character and merits a 
place in your garden. We are pleased to be able to offer 
such outstanding new creations—some at very low intro- 
ductory prices. 
Prices: Each variety is priced separately.

Schmidt—Lower petals silvery rose pink, lighter towards 
base of petals; upper petals deeper rose pink, veined 
deep crimson at base and towards medium large, velvety 
brown-black blotch in center of petal, orange flush sur- 
rounds blotch. Mostly six and seven petals per flower, 
all petals waved, somewhat ruffled and curled. Large 3 
inch flowers. Good medium grower, fair foliage. Out- 
standing for exceptionally free flowering habit and large 
attractive pink flowers. Good pot plant variety. Un- 
questionably our finest seedling to date. 50c each.

darker than lower ones. Large flower, of flat appear- 
ance, with petals waved and arranged in pinwheel effect.

variety that is really distinct! Supply subject to delivery 
by the originator. $1.50 each. 
LAVENDER SANGUINEA (Sanguinea mutation) 
Schmidt—Orchid lavender, lighter towards center, white 
throat, darker spot in center of lower petals; upper petals 
veined from base to medium blotch of velvety reddish

pelargoniums. Soft color. 50c. 
MARY ELIZABETH (Salmon Queen seedling) Cassidy— 
As described by the A.P.S. editor: A Salmon Queen seed- 
lings with larger, pink rather than salmon flowers. We 
can add that Mary Elizabeth has similar growth habit 
and foliage to its parent, also the same free flowering 
habit and long lasting quality of flowers. A sure winner.
