Descriptive list for the season 
of 
1952-1953 
DOUBLE AND SEMI-DOUBLE 
GERANIUMS 
Common Geraniums or the Zonals 
PELARGONIUM HORTORUM 
(P. ZONALE) 
With the exception of a few of the singles all va- 
rieties used extensively for pot plants are in this list. 
All can be supplied in commercial quantities. During the 
coming season some of our varieties will supply more 
than 25,000 each cut. A few varieties are booked ahead 
or will be available in quantity in the fall and are so 
marked. 
The following group contains those which produce 
fewer cuttings, are more costly to produce, or for some 
other good reason warrant the slight additional cost. 
Unrooted, $3.SOper 100, $30.00 per 1000. 
Rooted, $6.50 per 100, $60.00 per 1000. 
AVALON RED 
Probably the Radio Red remembered by the old 
timers in the trade. Not the variety offered as Im- 
proved Radio Red. This is a sport of Radio Red 
which is every inch Radio Red, yet it is healthier, 
the flower stems are stronger and the blossoms very 
large for Radio Red. Booking with balanced or- 
ders for August and later. 
Unrooted $32.50. Rooted $65.00 per 1000. 
DREAMS. 
Soft rose to salmon-pink, quite double two-inch 
florets. Profuse. Only rooted until August. 
FIAT (PINK FIAT). 
Clear salmon double. Fine foliage and profuse 
bloomer. A leading pot plant. 
FIAT ENCHANTRESS (APPLE BLOSSOM FIAT) 
Very delicate pink. A semi-dwarf, it grows lower 
than Mrs. Lawrence and the flowers are larger. 
MAGENTA RUBY 
Double magneta. Dropped by field growers be- 
cause of production cost. Our strain is strong and. 
healthy. Enough for all orders this coming year. 
MARQUISE DE MONTMORT 
This true Montmort is bright magenta with a touch 
of white in center. 
MEMORIES 
Semi-double light lavendar. Florets are very large 
and the color is intense for a light color. 
Rooted only, $7.00 per 100.
