LADY WASHINGTON OR DOMESTICIUM (Cont'd) 
84. GRANDMA FISHER 
This is one of the very fine imported 
varieties from a famous breeder. 
Flowers are very large and early and 
are beautifully waved around the edges 
of the petals. The color is salmon, 
penciled and marked with dark brown 
blotches. A splendid exhibition pot 
variety for every collection. ie, 
SCENTED LEAF VARIETIES 
In these odd and very interesting Geraniums the 
leaves are sweet scented. On most of them except 
where noted the flowers are small and insignificent. 
They are indeed the “flower of a century” because 
over a hundred years ago Grandmothers used rose 
Geranium leaves at the bottom of each glass of 
apple jelly to give it an intriguing flavor. A sprig 
of lemon Geranium is “just the thing” to float in a 
finger bowl. Many a linen drawer has its jar of 
fragrant potpourri to give a refreshing aroma to 
bed linens and clothing. Make your own particular 
blend. It is easily prepared by carefully drying the 
leaves of a dozen varieties of these aromatic spicy 
scented Geranium leaves. Most all of the varieties 
emit a spicy odor when the leaves are bruised very 
slightly between the fingers. You “must” have 
some in your collection. 
101. OAK LEAF 
A pungent scent of the oak forest. The 
leaves are bold and round-lobed of rough 
texture. Shaped exactly like the Giant 
oak leaf of the forest. Each leaf has a 
wide purple marking through the center. 
A very striking variety with very small 
lavender flowers. .50 
102. TOMENTOSA 
Large soft velvety leaves, the shape of 
grape leaves. A true refreshing pep- 
permint scent. Very highly scented. 
Tiny white flowers with purple veinings. .50 
103. OLD FASHIONED ROSE 
A deeply cut heart-shaped leaf. Leaves 
very fragrant rose with a slight lemon 
scent. This variety was formerly used 
to make an imitation “oil of roses". A 
vigorous plant with small orchid flowers. 
This is the variety used for flavoring 
and the base of all potpourri. You 
should have several. Bee 
104. PINE SCENTED 
A very clean refreshing pine scented 
leaf. The leaves are small three-lobed 
and crinkled. The plant is compact and 
is covered during the summer with sprays 
of tiny white flowers with red spots on the 
upper petals. An envelope of dried leaves 
of this variety is very refreshing ina 
drawer of bed linen. .60
