LADY WASHINGTON GERANIUMS 
Also known as Show, Fancy or Martha Washington Geraniums, and often as just plain Pelar- 
goniums. Botanically, Pelargonium domesticum varieties. 
1948 INTRODUCTIONS 
ALICE EASTWOOD (Schmidt) — Illustrated on 
page 4. Resembles Faiss Triumph in form and 
color. Beautiful soft rosy pink, lower petals 
with two short dark stripes at the base, top 
petals slightly deeper colored and veined from 
base to the medium-sized deep velvety red 
spot in petal center. All petals heavily waved. 
Medium bushy growth, good foliage, free 
flowering. Features large umbels of large 
flowers. 
PRAIRIE FIRE (Schmidt)—Illustrated on page 6. 
Resembles Prince Charming in flower form. 
Soft pink, lower petals conspicuously veined 
deep brown and flushed salmon-orange; top 
petals heavily veined, overlaid with deep vel- 
vety brown-black in center, flushed and sur- 
rounded orange-salmon to the pink border. Me- 
dium tall grower, free flowering, large flowers. 
Remarkable for its “‘flame-like” coloring.

JUNGLE NIGHT 
JUNGLE NIGHT (Brown)—Illustrated on Front Cover less than natural size. Although a few were 
sold at retail by the originator in 1946, and just a few at $5.00 each by them and by us in 1947, 
it is still practically unobtainable anywhere. With the originator’s O. K. we are offering Jungle 
Night at wholesale, with the purchaser's understanding that the retail price for 1948 is kept at a 
minimum of $2.00 each (even for a 2¥2"' pot plant). 
JUNGLE NIGHT—Reddish buds darken to black and open to large flowers of deepest maroon, over- 
laid velvety black, with a medium large velvety black petal center. Petals waved and curled. 
Strong upright grower, large light green leaves, three to five flowers per umbel, long blooming 
season. Not as black as the picture on the Front Cover shows—actually, there is much deep 
wine or burgundy red towards the petal borders of the fully expanded flower. However, it does 
get very dark and large, is very rare, and has a tremendous attraction for Pelargonium fanciers.

TWO NEW “BLACK” NOVELTIES 
Together with Jungle Night, the following two varieties are part of a new line of dark pelar- 
goniums in which the ground color is deep red rather than violet or purple, as in most of the dark 
varieties in gardens at present. 
These new black pelargoniums are the result of years of selecting and hybridizing work by 
Lowell H. and Waverley 8S. Brown, sons of Mrs. Amanda Brown, one of the first of pioneer pelar- 
gonium specialists in California. This is the first time they have been offered at wholesale. 
MARY B. QUINLAN (Brown)—Reddish buds darken to black and open to medium-sized flowers of 
deepest wine red, heavily overlaid black velvet, particularly deep at petal center. Waved petals, 
darker than Red Velvet or Jungle Night but smaller flower than those two. Medium bushy 
growth, thin stems, small leaves, not many flowers per umbel, but very free flowering. A fine 
novelty pot-plant variety. Very scarce. 
RED VELVET (Brown)—Black buds open to flowers of deep wine red, overlaid velvety black, veined 
black from base to the large velvety-black blotch in petal center. All petals waved, redder than 
Mary B. Quinlan and Jungle Night, a better shaped flower, in size between them. Good grower, 
free blooming. Many Pelargonium fans like Red Velvet because the redder color gives it a 
livelier appearance. Be sure to try Red Velvet—it will sell itself. Very scarce.
