SCENTED AND SPECIES GERANIUMS | 
Here are listed species and varieties of Pelargoniums other than forms of the Garden, Lady 
Washington and Ivy Geraniums. Many of them are sweet scented or aromatic, others are pungent, 
and several are best described as coarse scented. A few have attractive flowers, and most of them 
have handsome and interesting foliage. All are well worth a trial for garden or pot culture. In pots 
they may be placed wherever wanted for pleasant or pungent fragrance. The leaves of several vari- 
eties are used in cookery. 
Many popular fanciful names have been given to members of this class of Geraniums. Some of 
these names describe the particular scent perfectly, others mean something to only a few people, 
and not a few of these names require the wildest imagination to associate them with the scent of 
that particular variety. Some names have been used on several varieties and there are other pecu- 
liarities in the nomenclature of this group. All of the foregoing leads to this statement: Each one of the 
species and varieties listed below is different from the others on this list, and is named as correctly 
as we could determine. However, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE IN ANY WAY that they are correctly 
named or that the scent resembles that which the name implies.
