GERANIUM—Cranesbill 
GERANIUM—Easy, hardy plants for the rock garden and peren- 
nial border in full sun and light, open soil. The larger kinds 
bloom through the Summer, the smaller kinds in early 
Summer and sometimes again in the Fall if sheared. All 
stand much heat and dryness. These are true Geraniums 
and not the tender house plant, Pelargonium! Plant 15 to 
18 inches apart. 
Russell Prichard—Spreading masses of small grayish leaves 
and countless rosy-magenta flowers, | inch across, all 
Summer. 12 to 15 in. Remarkably free-flowering despite 
heat and drought. Very popular in sections with ‘‘difficult’’ 
Summers. 60c and 85c. 
*sanguineum album—A graceful variety with dark foliage and 
large, pure white flowers on 10 inch stems from late 
Spring to mid-summer. Excellent groundcover, either full 
sun or light shade. Large enough for the front part of 
perennial borders. Pots, each 75c, three $2.00, six $3.75; 
large size, each $1.00. 
*sanguineum prostratum (lancastriense) —By far the best col- 
ored and most distinct of the sanguineum types. Flat cush- 
ions of green set with large flowers of soft rose pink veined 
with deeper lines. Late Spring and early Summer and again 
later if sheared. One of the better, easy rock garden plants. 
75¢ and $1.00. 
GEUM—Dwarf Kinds 
Avens 
GEUM—Charming and possessing qualities not found in other 
plants. The colors are so clear and intense, the flowers 
seem to float above the plants. The slowly creeping stems 
produce rich green, usually hairy, evergreen foliage in com- 
pact clumps or mats. This is handsome in itself and serves 
admirably as a background for the luminous blooms. Dwarf 
Geums flower heavily in mid- and late Spring and spar- 
ingly thereafter. Plant in rich, moist soil with good drain- 
age and ample organic matter. Some will stand full sun but 
all seem to grow best in light, high shade. Plant 8 to 10 
inches apart. 
*Borisii—One of the showiest of this showy genus. Neat tufts 
of evergreen foliage with many branching 8 to 12 inch 
stems, covered with large, vivid, orange scarlet blooms. A 
bright color and good grower. Each 50c, three $1.40, six 
$2.50; large size, each 75c. 
*rivale Leonards Variety—A lovely form of the Water Avens, 
with nodding, coppery pink or old rose flowers on 8 to 12 
inch stalks. Discovered in Norway. Dainty and different, 
for shady, moist spots. 50c and 75c. 
**Waights Brilliant—In our opinion the outstanding, dwarf, 
evergreen Geum. A cross between Geum aurantiacum and 
Borisii with the compact habit of aurantiacum and the fol- 
iage and flowers of Borisii, perhaps a little brighter color. 
Blooms here from mid-Spring to early Summer and again 
late in the Fall. The large, glowing, orange scarlet flowers 
are only 6 inches above the foliage. Requires light shade 
and a good soil. This dwarf Geum will add more color to 
a shaded garden than any other plant we know. Highly 
recommended! Each 90c, three $2.50, six $4.50; large 
size, each $1.25. 
GEUM—Tall Kinds 
Avens 
GEUM—Every perennial border should include a collection of 
these hardy, satisfactory plants. In our gardens they seem 
to be especial favorites of the men. Perhaps the attractive 
clumps of foliage and semi-double, particularly vivid flow- 
ers are responsible. Geums require ordinary, good soil with 
plenty of Summer moisture and a sunny, well-drained spot. 
The plants are 2 or more feet high and bloom heavily from 
mid-Spring through early Summer. If the dead flower stalks 
are removed, they will bloom again in the Fall. Excellent cut 
flowers with long stems. The varieties below are all hardy 
and great improvements over the older, half-hardy types. 
Their foliage winters better in cold sections when lightly 
covered. Space plants 10 to 12 inches apart in groups. 
Borschs Golden West—Introduced by Mr. F. J. Borsch sev- 
eral years ago and still the best, hardy, golden-yellow 
Geum. Medium-sized flowers in abundance. Each 90c, 
three $2.50, six $4.50; large size, each $1.25. 

GEUM WAIGHTS BRILLIANT 
Borschs West Hills—Introduced at the same time and blends 
well with Golden West. Large, rich orange blooms over 
very neat, attractive foliage. This is an _ especially 
vigorous sort and blooms prolifically. Each 75c, three 
$2.00, six $3.75; large size, each $1.00. 
Fire Opal—The large, vivid scarlet flowers suffused with or- 
ange fit the name. More slender stems and smaller leaves. 
One of the best! Each 60c, three $1.60, six $3.00; large 
size, each 85c. 
Princess Juliana—Showy flowers of tawny yellow tinged with 
rich apricot. A distinctive shade different from the others 
and very free-flowering. This variety is robust and easy. 
Each 60c, three $1.60, six $3.00; large size, each 85c. 
Red Wings—The hardy Geum which has succeeded the lovely 
but tender variety Mrs. Bradshaw. Strawberry-red blooms 
with golden anthers and long-lasting handsome foliage. Ex- 
cellent. Each 75c, three $2.00, six $3.75; large size, each 
$1.00. 
Mixed Shades—This is a mixture of the fine named varieties 
described above. They blend harmoniously and will give 
a bright display. Mixed colors only. Each 50c, three $1.40, 
six $2.50. 
GLOBULARIA—Globe Daisy 
GLOBULARIA *cordifolia—Mats of dark green, smooth, spatu- 
late leaves and almost stemless flowers, like fuzzy blue 
balls in mid-Spring. Sun or light shade and light soils. A 
good carpeter for small areas. 4 in. Pots, each 50c, three 
$1.40, six $2.50; field, large size, each 75c. 
*cordifolia nana—One of the smallest, with glossy green leaves 
on which sit fluffy, pale blue flowers. Good between step- 
ping stones or in crevices. 2 in. Easy and a charming 
carpeter. Pots, each 50c, three $1.40, six $2.50; field, 
large size, each 75c.
