PELARGONIUMS 
(MARTHA WASHINGTON GERANIUMS) 
1954 INTRODUCTIONS 
CHERIE (Kerrigan)—Very ruffled flowers in cluster of 7 or 8, all 
facing upward to form a rather flat-topped cluster. Color is delicate 
pink with a pronounced strawberry red blotch in each petal. Compact 
growth and free flowering. A very attractive novelty. . . . 1.00 
DAWN (Kerrigan)—Not a 1954 introduction as a limited number 
were sold in 1952. However, was withheld until this season to try 
to meet the unprecedented demand. Large clusters of very, very 
large flowers of delicate apricot pink. The flowers literally hide the 
foliage when in full bloom. Grows low and compact. This variety 
won first award for new plant introduction in the 1952 California 
Spring Garden Show, where fanciers deemed it the "hit of the show." 
No doubt will become the most popular of all pelargoniums. . 1.00 
GERONIMO (Kerrigan)—Bright blood red; so bright it fairly glows. 
The reddest pelargonium yet offered. Very compact habit and very 
free flowering. Flowers are very long lasting and hold color in full sun. 
A great improvement over any other red pelargoniums. . . . 1.00 
PRELUDE (Kerrigan)—Both flowers and clusters are extra large. Simi- 
lar in growth and flower to Dawn, but with a deeper, more salmon 
color: Ouistandingw “2/8 8: Jr 8S. |... 3 1.00
