FANCY-LEAVED GERANIUMS 23 
GOLDEN MacMAHON. Yellow to yellow-green 
leaves with a small, pale, rust-red zone. Varies in col- 
or, but generally is a paler yellow than the others. At 
times the older leaves develop pink spots, near the edges 
and between the veins. Single, light pink flowers. Plant 
compact and rather slow growing. Requires very good 
drainage with plenty of water and food for best results. 
Still very scarce. 75c 
VERONA. Yellow, yellow-green or green leaves. Color 
variable, but generally less yellow than the others of 
this group, sometimes entirely green. The small, single 
flowers are light rose. Good habit of growth. 50c 
Silver Tricolor Geraniums 
ee (Miller). See Dwarf Geraniums, page 
MISS BURDETT COUTTS. Silvery green leaves with 
a wide, pale ivory border, brilliantly zoned with irregu- 
lar splashes of rose-red and brown. The color is bright- 
est in cool, bright weather, and softer in a warm, partly 
shaded location. Rather small, slow growing, bushy 
plant. Not difficult to grow. Small, single, scarlet 
flowers. This fine variety originated before 1870, and 
apparently is the only survivor of a once numerous 
class. $1.00 
Golden Tricolor Geraniums 
CONTRAST. Green leaves edged bright yellow with 
a wide zone splashed with scarlet, crimson, and brown. 
Small, single, scarlet flowers. Very much like Mrs. 
Po.ttock, but there are slight differences in flower 
color, leaf color, and leaf shape. Scarce. $1.00 
DISPLAY. (Miller). Green leaves with a wide edge 
of yellow, and with a zone of scarlet, crimson, and 
brown. The golden edge is wider than on any other 
Golden Tricolor. The scalloped leaves are large and 
flat. The zone is a little paler than in Mrs. Po.tock, 
but the proportion of scarlet is greater. Small, single, 
scarlet flowers. DispLay is not a strong grower, so that 
time and care are required to grow a good specimen. 
Early and frequent pinching, and frequent light feeding 
are recommended. When well grown, I consider this the 
most beautiful tricolor. $1.00 
ELF. (Miller). See New Geraniums for 1952, page 6. 
HAPPY THOUGHT. Bright green leaves with a 
large, irregular, light yellow to ivory center, faintly 
zoned with irregular splashes of brown and orange. 
Particularly healthy, compact plant. Small, single, ver- 
milion flowers. Originated before 1876. 50c 
JANE MAXWELL. Green leaves edged bright yellow 
with a strongly colored brown zone splashed with red. 
Small, single, scarlet flowers. The yellow edging is 
generally narrower than in Mrs. Pottock, so that there 
is more brown and less red in the zone. 75c
