UNUSUAL GERANIUM ... the new pure white NOEL 
For many years we have specialized in the better varieties, as well as in the odd and unusual 
forms of the common Garden or Zonal Geranium. 
Among the odd varieties is a class called Cactus-Flowered. Two colors are available in the 
trade, the well-known red Poinsettia and the Pink Poinsettia. Now for the first time the new pure 
white Noel is offered. Illustrated on the Back Cover. Stock is very limited—we are the only source 
for Noel. 
NOEL—Seedling, originated by Mrs. Harvey L. Smith. In growth it has stronger stems, better 
foliage, and more branching habit than the red Poinsettia. Free blooming—even plants in small 
pots will bloom. Grow it much as you would zonal geraniums. 
WHOLESALE PRICES OF NOEL, strong 212" pot plants 
Less than 5 plants each $1.50 each 1.20 
10 or more plants 

Retail price for Noel in 1948 will be $1.50 each, 212" pots. We are offering this limited stock

Noel will be a great novelty pot-plant item for some years. Be sure you are among the first to 
have it—your geranium-fan customers will buy them as fast as you can raise them.
