22 FANCY-LEAVED GERANIUMS 
BRONZE BEAUTY No. 2. Scalloped, yellow-green 
leaves with a bright rust-red zone. Slow growing plant. 
Small, single, scarlet flowers. This is the variety that is 
found in the East. Appears to hold its color well in hot 
weather. 50c. 
JUBILEE. Yellow-green leaves with a fine, broad 
zone varying from rust-red to brown. The zone is broader 
than in any of the other Bronze-Leaved Geraniums. Tall, 
strong plant. Small, single, light salmon flowers. JuBI- 
LEE is of English origin, presumably named to honor 
either the 1887 or 1897 Jubilee in the reign of Queen Vic- 
toria. The very broad, deeply colored zone makes Jusi- 
LEE a showy variety. There is a much poorer variety also 
distributed under this name. 50c 
MARECHAL MacMAHON. Yellow-green leaves with 
a zone of rust-red to brown, well in from the edge. Leaves 
are a bright green-gold under favorable conditions. Small, 
single, scarlet flowers. Several different varieties are 
found in the trade under this name. It does not seem 
possible that any of these varieties, including the one 
that I offer, can be the original MARECHAL MacMAHon. 
50c 
PRINCE BISMARCK. Fairly large, nicely lobed, yel- 
low-green leaves with a bright, rust-red zone. Compact 
plant. Small, single, light salmon flowers. This plant 
came to me from a greenhouse where it had been grown 
for a long time. It fits the early descriptions well, and 
probably it is the true variety. The name appears in old 
lists both as Prince BrisMARCK and BisMARK. 50c 
Gold-Leaved Geraniums 
CLOTH OF GOLD. Yellow to yellow - green leaves 
without any zone. The color varies considerably, at 
times a clear yellow, at other times scarcely more than 
a yellowish-green. Bright, cool weather gives the best 
color. Small, single, scarlet flowers. This plant can 
scarcely be the original CLoTtH oF Go Lp, dating from 1863 
or earlier, since the original had a green blotch at the 
base of the leaf which is lacking in the present plant. 
Possibly this plant is a sport of CrotH or Gotp, but 
could as well be CrrEn’s SEEDLING, YELLOW GEM, or 
some other similar variety. 50c 
CRYSTAL PALACE GEM. Yellow to yellow-green 
leaves with an irregular central blotch of green. The 
contrast of the yellow border and the green center is 
very attractive. Like the other Gold-Leaved Geraniums, 
there is considerable variation in the intensity of the 
yellow. Small, single, scarlet flowers. Another old 
variety, going back to at least 1868. 50c 
DWARF GOLD LEAF. Yellow to yellow-green leaves 
without any zone. As in all of the Gold-Leaved varie- 
ties, the color varies, but is generally a good yellow in 
this variety. Not truly a dwarf geranium, but a com- 
pact, short jointed plant. The small, single flowers are 
brilliant scarlet. This variety may possibly be the old 
English variety Gotp Lear, dating before 1860. I con- 
sider it better than CLoTtH or Go tp. It is quite scarce at 
present. 75c
