GENERAL COLLECTION 
This group includes the standard low-priced Best Seller varieties. If you have never 
grown Pelargoniums, or if you had poor sales with the varieties you did have, be sure to 
try a few of the ones listed below. Year in and year out, they are the good old reliables. 
Strong stock from 21/2” pots, $20.00 per 100, except where otherwise noted. Pot them into 
4” pots on arrival and you will have little trouble selling them at retail for a minimum of 
75c when in bud or bloom. Many sell for $1.00 or more, if well grown. You may order as 
few or as many varieties as you need, each variety in lots of five or more plants. 
Because of advance orders we are forced to leave out a number of varieties we have 
usually listed here. However, some of them are available in limited quantity and we suggest 
you list what you want, in varieties other than those named below, and we will let you 
know what we can supply and the prices.
