DWARF GERANIUMS 
Dwarf geraniums are not just low-growing forms of the regular Zonal or Garden geraniums, 
but are truly dwarfs, with small leaves and small flowers on miniature plants. Fine for window 
gardening or outdoor pot culture. So uncommon that any nursery handling them will find 
a ready sale. 
BLACK VESUVIUS—Dwarf, with small dark 
leaves turning almost black-green in full 
sun. Fairly large bright-red single flowers 
over a long period. Grows slowly. 50¢ each. 
growing and fine for low borders, as well 
as pots. Single red flowers. 25c. 
PIGMY—Dwarf, very small light green leaves 
and small double red flowers. Grows fairly 
fast, but is the smallest of all geraniums and 
blooms very freely. Most difficult of all 
geraniums to ship any distance, such as to 
eastern states. 35¢ each. 
PIXIE—Dwarf, dark leaves and single light 
salmon-pink flowers. Good grower with foli- 
age turning very dark in full sun. Blooms 
freely. 35¢ each. 
KLEINER LIEBLING (Little Darling)—Dwarf, 
with small green leaves and small single 
rose pink flowers, blooms freely. Tallest of 
the dwarfs in time up to 15” high, but nor- 
mally lower in pots. 25¢ each. 
MADAME FOURNIER—Dwari, much like 
Black Vesuvius, described above, but faster
