1946 INTRODUCTIONS OF LADY WASHINGTON GERANIUMS 
The seven new varieties offered this year have bloomed with the originators for a number of 
years, each variety at least three years, and so are well tested for habit of growth, blooming quality, 
and size and color of flowers. 
PRICE for the 1946 novelties is $1.00 each for strong plants in 2¥2 inch pots and $1.50 each for well 
grown plants in 4 inch pots. 
BALLERINA (Kerrigan)—Illustrated on foregoing 
page. Soft pastel or shell pink, lower petals 
with two or three very short red pin-stripes 
near the base, upper petals veined deeper red 
from base to center spot of crimson, flushed 
orange; all petals beautifully ruffled. Medium, 
spreading growth with large flowers on large 
umbels and very free flowering. The best pink 
Lady Washington introduced in years. 
DON JUAN (Kerrigan)—Brilliant deep red effect 
hard to describe. Each petal heavily veined 
black from base to the center blotch of velvety 
brownish-black, flushed orange, and with a 
broad margin of coral-red (slight violet under- 
tone) to the edge of petals, two upper petals 
somewhat deeper colored. Tall grower, me- 
dium large flowers, all petals waved. A variety 
for the collector in a coloring much favored by 
men. 
LILAC LUSTER (Schmidt) — Beautiful soft lilac 
sport of Gerry Jarrett. Medium sized flowers, 
average umbels, good blooming season. Me- 
dium high, bushy plant with luxuriant foliage. 
Not just another lavender such as Orchid Edith 
North or Lavender Quedlinburg, but a distinct 
soft self color with an underlying luster.

attractive rose red without markings, upper two 
of deeper color with a large velvety black 
blotch, slightly flushed orange at blotch. Low, 
bushy growth, large flowers on average um- 
bels, long blooming season. A fine and very 
showy red pot plant variety.

er petals salmon pink, tinted orange, slightly 
overlaid crimson at veins, near-white at base 
of petals. two top petals solid velvety crimson- 
black with shaded margin of orange-salmon. 
All petals waved or fluted. Upright grower, 
large flowers. A refined variety with an atten- 
tion attracting color combination. 
SALMON SPLENDOR (Kerrigan)—Salmon, with an 
apricot undertone. Each petal veined crimson 
from base to center medium sized blotch of 
velvety brown, washed with orange; two top 
petals with slightly larger and deeper colored 
blotches. Large round flowers, petal margins 
waved. Bushy growth, free flowering. A larger, 
“pinker’’ toned Grossmama Fischer and a par- 
ticularly handsome variety. 
STARDUST (Kerrigan)—Palest lilac of a shimmer- 
ing, frosty quality. Lower petals with two or 
three rose-violet pin-stripes at base, top petals 
heavily veined rose-violet from base to center 
medium sized blotch of deepest velvety violet, 
flushed rose. Very large flowers, petals ruffled. 
Bushy growth, free flowering. Unquestionably 
the largest and finest lilac Lady Washington 
ever shown.
