A NEW RACE OF HY BRID GERANIUMS  picnt patents Pending) 
Paul J. Howard takes pride in presenting, for the first time, this set of four new Geraniums. This new hybrid race marks a new depar- 
ture in Geranium colorings. They are giant single flowered Zonals, distinguished by their refreshing colors. Three have distinct white eyes, 
the other is a glorious new clear self color. In our trial gardens here at California Flowerland, all who have seen these Geraniums have 
been amazed at their beauty. Now you can find new joy in these most valuable decorative plants for pots and garden. All are of bushy, 
compact growth, with handsome large rich green foliage. Fully grown plants often display 40 or 50 immense trusses of blooms. We have 
appropriately named them for the four seasons, symbolizing their quality of blooming practically the year around. The numbers after 
each name are the ones under which the original plants were grown in our gardens. Color descriptions are from Horticultural Color Chart. 
SPRING GLORY (4203). The lovely pastel coloring of the florets, 
varying somewhat in different seasons, most nearly matches Be- 
gonia (619) Azalea Pink (618) or Vermilion (17/1). The effect may 
be described as an orangy pink, like the coloring of orange 
sherbet. 
SUMMER CHARM (4202). The color of the florets is soft Geran- 
ium Lake (20/1), lightening toward the large white eyes. Center 
margins are tinged with brilliant carmine. Florets are exception- 
ally large, with overlapping petals, borne on huge trusses. 
Price of each of these marvelous Geraniums, $1.25 
AUTUMN GLOW (4204). Truly an amazing color is this variety. 
Poppy Red (16) it is best described as tangerine orange, with 
well defined white eye. It is hard to imagine this color belonging 
to a Geranium. Like all the set, it has giant flowers and trusses. 
WINTER CHEER (4201). A charming variety, unlike any other we 
know of. It is a clear self-color Camellia Pink (622/) from center 
to edge of the fully opened flowers. The opening flowers have 
a slight salmon pink tone (Begonia 619). The florets measure 2 
inches across, with broad overlapping petals.
