30 ODD GERANIUMS 
Rosebud Geraniums 
In these geraniums the flowers never open wide, so that 
they resemble clusters of tiny, half-opened roses. They 
are all very double flowers, with the stamens and pistils 
replaced with many small petals. Quite likely they are 
old varieties for which the original names have been lost. 
APPLE BLOSSOM ROSEBUD. Very double. White 
with distinct rose-red edging, green center, and some 
green stripes. Mature flowers vary from rosebud form 
to almost fully open form. Medium size flowers last a 
sone time. Strong plant. Very unusual. Flowers well. 
& 
CRIMSON ROSEBUD. Very double. Deep crimson 
on the inside of the petails, somewhat lighter on the 
outside. Mature flowers hold the rosebud form. Strong 
growing. Young plants do not flower very freely. Also 
called Macenta RosEsup. 35c 
PINK ROSEBUD. Very double. Rose-red to cerise- 
red on the inside of the petals, considerably lighter, 
sometimes light pink, on the outside. Mature flowers 
hold the rosebud form. Strong plant. I now offer a select- 
ed strain that flowers very freely, even when small. 50c 
RED ROSEBUD. Very double. Red, possibly slightly 
scarlet. Mature flowers are more open than rosebuds, 
but still not fully expanded. Flowers are small, neat, 
and of fine substance. Medium size plant. Flowers 
freely, and is interesting and attractive. Also called 
ScaRLET Rosesup. 50c
