This year we are introducing another Schmidt seedling: Jester. This cross between Princess 
Victoria x Seedling 4145 (Col. Baden-Powell x Diener’s Lavender) has been grown by us since 1942 
and is a very free flowering variety. 
JESTER (Schmidt)—lIllustrated on this page. Dou- 
ble, large orchid pink—darker and more pink- 
ish than Admiral Byrd—all petals with small 
rose stripes at edge of petals. Some lower 
petals with a small rosy spot in center. Top 
petals washed and marked rose, veined and 
spotted red, elongated white mark at base half 
of petals. Occasional flowers have petals that 
are partly striped lengthwise or are all rose; 
some umbels may have flowers half rose, or 
one or more flowers entirely rose red. Medium 
growth, very free flowering. 2¥2"’ pots, $1.00. 
PINK ALLIANCE—lllustrated page 19. In 1941 
the late Mrs. Jarrett called our attention to this 
very fine ivy geranium. She had purchased a 
plant years before from a peninsula nursery. 
No one knew the name—we had never seen it 
before. It appears to be a P. hortorum x P. pel- 
tatum hybrid and resembles Alliance (Victory) 
in habit of growth and bloom. However, the 
large double flowers are a beautiful deep pink, 
Rather short, 
heavy branches, light green leaves with a 
darker zone. Long-stalked and very large um- 
reverse of petals near-white. 
bels, free’ flowering. One of the top varieties 
in our collection. $1.00.

JESTER 
Interesting coloring and abundant bloom. 
Natural size. 
P.S.—Considering the circumstances, this va- 
riety should be sold by number. We de- 
cided to be arbitrary, rather than scien- 
tific, and so are calling it Pink Alliance.
