2 TENDER GERANIUMS (Pelargoniums) 
Here are Geraniums for pot culture in window garden, 
sun porch or greenhouse, or perhaps for window boxes or 
outdoor bedding. All of them are botanically Pelargoniums, 
though usually known as Geraniums. For the Martha Wash- 
ington Geraniums (Pelargonium domesticum) see page 13. 
GERANIUM ZONALE HYBRIDS—w. These are the house 
or bedding Geraniums. They are easy from seed, flowering

ings; white, pink, rose, salmon, scarlet, crimson. Near to 
everblooming. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c; 10 pkts. for $1.50. 
SIX UNUSUAL BEAUTIES-— 
The first five are varieties of 
Pelargonium zonale.e WICKED

radiant, vibrant cerise, a color- 
ing so vivid and glowing that 
you can fairly feel its impact. 
The blossoms are centered with 
a carmine feathering. No more 
striking Geranium. Each 75c. 
TOBEY—A truly lovely blush 
pink that deepens to salmon 
pink at the center. Fine semi- 
double with particularly large 
florets. Each 80c. PHLOX— 
Well-shaped, large single flowers 
of blush-hinting white with 
phlox-like carmine eye. A long, 
sure bloomer. Each $1.00. PEPPERMINT STICK—Clusters 
of large, flat, single flowers in a brilliant scarlet, with con- 
trasting pure white stripes. Each $1.00. CARNATION—A 
free-blooming salmon pink with much-notched or fringed 
petals, the whole giving the effect of a single-flowered carna- 
tion. Each 60c. PANSY—Flowers very like pansies, suffused 
white with face markings of velvety purple. A free-blooming, 
easy grower. It is the Mrs. Layal variety of Pelargonium 
domesticum. Each 70c. OFFER 73AN—One plant each of 
the six for $4.45. 
SCENTED-LEAF GERANIUM SEEDS—We offer seeds saved 
by a specialist grower from not less than 10 of the better 
Scented-Leaf varieties. Supplied in mixture only. 6 seeds for 
25c; 28 seeds for $1.00. 
THE SCENTED-LEAF GERANIUMS—Notable for beauty of 
form and foliage, and for the delightful, aromatic perfume 
of the leaves, this fragrance varying surprisingly from kind 
to kind. LADY PLYMOUTH VARIEGATED—Deeply cut 
foliage with pleasing rose scent. Each green leaf is sharply, 
distinctly, margined with white. Compact grower. Lavender 
flowers. Plants, each 65c. ALLSPICE—An exquisite of com- 
pact growth with crinkly, spicily perfumed leaves that are 
only slightly lobed. The foliage is delightfully silvered. No 
other quite like it. Little white flowers, red-flecked. Plants, 
each 60c. PRINCE RUPERT LEMON—tThere is a pleasant 
lemon scent, with foliage small, much crisped, growth habit 
compact. Plants each 65c. ROSE—The Attar of Rose variety. 
The scented foliage gives first the fragrance of the rose, then 
there is a hint of aromatic balsam. Leaves deeply lobed and 
cut. Flowers rosy lavender. Plants, each 65c. OFFER 73BN— 
One plant each of the four for $2.30. 
THE IVY GERANIUMS-—Shining, crispy leaves of ivy form. 
The slender-stemmed plants have decumbent tendencies, so 
are valued for window boxes, hanging baskets, shelves. Kept 
pinched back a bit, they make good window pot plants, too. 
Because of the slender, brittle stems, we ship smaller plants 
of these than of the others. They will take hold quickly. 
LAVENDER ROSE—Double flowers of soft lavender, crispy 
ivy leaves of dark green. Each 55c. CAESAR FRANCK— 
Fine, semi-double flowers of brilliant rose pink. Good ivy 
foliage. Each 55c. SUNSET—Thick, waxy, ivy-shaped leaves 
of soft green, each with a wide ivory white edge that tends 
to turn a delightful rosy pink when plants are kept in full 
sun and a bit on the dry side. An odd beauty that doesn’t 
look like a geranium at all. Lavender-tinted flowers. Each 90c. 
OFFER 73CN—One plant each of the three for $1.75. 
MARTHA WASHINGTON GERANIUM—(Pelargonium do- 
mesticum). Large showy flowers, usually with contrasting 
darker blotchings. This is the group that most folks mean 
when they say PELARGONIUM, though the name botanically 
has much wider coverage. Seeds, 6 for 25c; 28 for $1.00. For 
plants of the Martha Washington Pelargoniums in wide 
variety, see page 13.

THE FANCY-LEAF GERANIUMS—Quaintly beautiful sorts, 
grown for oddly marked or vividly colored foliage as much as 
for the bloom. This means that they are always decorative, 
always attractive. DISTINCTION—Undulate-margined leaves 
of deep green that carry a sharply defined, narrow circle- 
band of brown purple close to, but not at, the leaf edge. 
Bright flowers of rosy vermilion. Well-shaped, bushy plant 
form. Each 80c. MME. LANGGUTH—Silvery green leaves 
with a snow-white border and a faint purple zone. Rather 
good, double flowers of rose scarlet. Each 80c. ITALIAN 
SKIES—Maple-like leaves, centered in two-toned green, then 
zoned with orange-splashed crimson, and edged with creamy 
white. Bright red flowers. Each 80c. HAPPY THOUGHT— 
Somewhat ruffled leaves that each carry a great “‘butterfly- 
wing” splash of creamy white surrounded by a zone of deep 
olive. Gay cherry flowers. Each 60c. FRENCH LACE—Com- 
pact, slow-growing plants filled with little leaves that are 
intensely fluted, ruffled and curled. Each little leaf carries a 
wide border of creamy white, and the effect of this waved 
and convolute white margin against green is one of intricate 
laciness. Flowers like lavender violets. Each 90c. JUBILEE— 
Very wide and deeply colored brown-purple zone on green. 
Good salmon pink flowers. Each $1.10. OFF 73DN—One 
plant each of the 6 for $4.70.

pact kinds that are just right for the sunny window of a

ture, smallest of all. Well-doubled blossoms of intense scarlet. 
A gem; those who see it, want it. Each $1.00. PIXIE—The 
leaves are all a rich, dark olive with even deeper zoning. 
Worth growing for the foliage alone, but it has also pretty 
salmon pink blossoms. Low, dense grower. Each $1.10. 
LITTLE DARLING—A dainty little dwarf with tyrian rose 
flowers carried in clusters of six. Each 60c. OFFER 73EN— 
One plant each of the three for $2.50. 
4 THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN LAUREL 
It is KALMIA LATIFOLIA, shade-tolerant evergreen shrub 
of great winter-hardiness. The masses of exquisite blossoms 
vary from blush, through shell pink, to rose. Azalea culture 
in all particulars. Pkt. 25c; 3 for 70c. 
4 THE GAY AZALEAS 
You can grow them from seed. Just sow on a mixture of 
sand and peat, or on sphagnum moss that has been rubbed 
through a sieve, or on vermictiite, covering but lightly. Water 
from below if you can, by partial immersion of the pot or 
flat. Shade a bit. Sowings may be made in the winter months 
under glass; a sunny window will do. Adequate results are 
also often obtained from cold- 
frame sowings made in a mix- 
ture of sandy soil with peat or |} 
sifted Jleaf-humus; also from 
sowings made in shaded outdoor 
seed-beds in early spring. Line 
the seedlings out into soil that | 
is a bit on the acid side. If ; 
yours isn’t already that, you can | 
make it so by treating with 
aluminum sulphate, or by adding | 
decayed oak leaves, peat, old . 
sawdust or like acid material. | 
AZALEA HARDY BLEND— 
Seeds of winter-hardy Azalea 
species in mixture. Usually in- 
cludes seeds of Mollis, Vaseyi, 
Kaempferi, Calendulacea, Occi- 
dentale, Nudiflora, Viscosa, Japonica, Schlippenbachi, Mucro- 
nulata, with others. Pkt. 35c; 3 for 90c; 10 for $2.50. 
AZALEA KURUME HYBRIDS—A splendid strain of low 
Azalea, immensely varied as to color and often with semi- 
double flowers. Young plants just a few inches high will 
bloom heavily. Fully winter-hardy at Philadelphia but in very 
much colder areas will require winter protection. Also much 
grown as pot plants, and they make beautiful ones. Illustrated 
above. Seeds saved in mixture from fine named sorts. Pkt. 
45c; 3 pkts. for $1.20; 10 pkts. for $3.50. 
AZALEA SCABRUM HYBRIDS—The originator of the strain 
calls this “the finest garden Azalea in existence’? and in it 
he has tried (with success) to combine flowers as large and 
beautiful as those of the Indicas with plants as hardy and 
as sturdy as those of the Kurume group. The flowers may 
exceed six-inch diameters, coming in varied scarlets, crim- 
sons, salmon and rosy pink, purples and whites and near- 
whites. Pkt. 75c; 3 pkts. for $2.00; 10 pkts. for $5.90.
