ever introduced. The petals are a cream white, overlaid with a bright, rich red. 
It is an English variety of the Pelargonium type, but both the flowers and the 
plants are superior to Pelargonium. The flowers measure 3 inches and more 
across, and are full centered. The plants are much bushier than those of Pelar- 
gonium. The stem is not long, but is straight and strong. The flowers keep 
well and blend beautifully in floral arrangements. They are especially fine for 
corsages. Our supply is very limited.

SCARLET KING. The name is misleading, for the flowers are of the Pelargonium 
type having creamy white petals overlaid with bright scarlet. It is a sport of 
Pelargonium, and the plants have the same habits of growth. It should be 
planted closer than the average variety. The color is distinctive and appealing, 
and is very popular with retail florists. Our supply is limited.
