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. 
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.
