1947 PREVIEW 
We should like to let you have a peek at what will be the latest in Lady Washingtons next year. 
We've watched these large-flowered Schmidt varieties since 1942 and are quite sure they will please 
you. 
Here they are: 
GAY NINETIES . 
.. A ruffled, sparkling beauty. 
VAGABOND..... Smooth, even velvety maroon. 
WALTZTIME ..... Gayest, ruffliest orchid lavender. 
And last, but we'll bet not least in popular favor, the first modern contribution to the floriferous 
small-flowered Pansy Pelargonium class. It is our selection from a group of Mrs. Layal x Earliana 
seedlings, hydribized by Wm. E. Schmidt. The name? 
Why it’s— 
LITTLE RASCAL... Thrifty, floriferous and cute!
