26 DWARF GERANIUMS 
PIGMY. Tiny plant with miniature, light green, zoned 
leaves, and a profusion of small, double flowers of a 
cheerful red. In appearance it is the smallest of the 
Zonal Geraniums. PicMy grows considerably faster than 
BLack VEsuvIus, but the ultimate size is about the same, 
seldom exceeding 6 inches. It is naturally densely 
branched, bushy and spreading in habit. Even very 
small plants are bushy and flower freely. In a sunny 
window, the pretty flowers are produced in constant suc- 
cession. I consider PicMy the most interesting and dis- 
tinctive of the dwarfs. 75c 
PIXIE. (Miller). Dwarf, bushy plant with dark leaves 
and light salmon-pink flowers. The small, black-zoned 
leaves are dark olive-green to dark purple-green, or 
sometimes almost black, depending on exposure. The 
plant is truly dwarf, smaller and more compact than 
MapbAME FournikEr. It may eventually reach 10 or 12 
inches in several years, but for a long time will be only 
a few inches high. It branches freely, with a spreading 
habit. The single, light salmon flowers are of fair size 
in good clusters, freely produced. PrIxIE is very popu- 
lar 75¢

SPRITE. (Miller). Silver-Leaved. Small, dark grayish- 
green leaves with a wide ivory-white border. In winter 
the ivory border is flushed with coral, particularly on the 
newer leaves. The plant is truly dwarf, slow growing, 
and bushy. The ultimate height is probably around 8 or 
10 inches, but it takes several years to reach that size. 
The single, salmon-coral flowers are freely produced, 
and go well with the foliage colors. I believe that 
Sprite is the first Dwarf Fancy-Leaved Geranium ever 
produced. It is a beautiful little plant and a real col- 
lector’s gem. $2.00
