cutting. The smaller the piece removed, the better, but 
the growing center must be removed, not just the imma- 
ture leaves.) 
If the light intensity is low with other conditions favor- 
able for growth, the new leaves of the Silver-Leaved 
and Tricolor Geraniums are likely to be umbrella 
shaped. In winter it is not always possible to avoid 
this trouble entirely. Well hardened, potbound plants 
give least trouble. 
Silver-Leaved Geraniums 
ATTRACTION. Slightly silvered, bright green leaves 
with an ivory border. Small, single scarlet flowers. Has 
a narrower and slightly paler border than FLOWER oF 
Sprinc. It is a bushy, vigorous plant. The name may 
not be correct. This plant is certainly not Kinghorn’s 
ATTRACTION, raised in 1850, which was the first Silver 
Tricolor and probably an ancestor of all Tricolor Gerani- 
ums, but could perhaps be Gaines’ ATTRACTION dating 
from 1863. 50c 
FLOWER OF SPRING. Slightly silvered, bright 
green leaves with an unusually wide irregular border 
of ivory. Strong growing plant. Small, single, scarlet 
flowers. Originated before 1860. The best ivory bordered 
variety. 50c 
HILLS OF SNOW. Silvery green leaves with a very 
narrow white border. Sometimes there is a faint dark 
zone. Slow growing, fairly compact plant. Small, but 
attractive, light rose, double flowers. A neat and dis- 
tinct variety. 50c 
MOUNTAIN OF SNOW. Silvery green leaves with a 
wide, pure white border. This variety has the broadest 
and whitest border of all. Because of the large amount 
of white, the plant is not vigorous, but it is not difficult 
to manage. Small, single, brilliant scarlet flowers. 
MountTaAIN OF SNow is an old variety, grown at least as 
long ago as 1860, and has always been popular. 50c 
MRS. PARKER. Silvery green leaves with a fairly 
wide border of white. Sometimes there is a faint dark 
zone. A slow growing, compact plant that is free flower- 
ing with small, but attractive, light rose, double flowers. 
Originated at least as long ago as 1893. Good. 75c 
SILVER S. A. NUTT. Silvery green leaves bordered 
and frequently striped with ivory-white. Rather slow 
growing. Supposedly a sport of the standard S. A. Nutt, 
and ee the same medium size, double, velvety red flow- 
ers. c 
SPRITE. (Miller). See Dwarf Geraniums, page 27. 
WILHELM LANGGUTH. Silvery green leaves bor- 
dered with white. The leaves have a faint zone. Medi- 
um size, double flowers of fine, clear vermilion. The 
best flowers of any of the Fancy-Leaved Geraniums, 
The name may be found in several forms and spellings, 
but the form given is believed to be the correct original 
name. This variety dates back to 1898. 50c 
Bronze-Leaved Geraniums 
ALPHA. Small, shiny, yellow-green leaves with a nar- 
row rust-red zone. Rather small, bushy plant, with thin,
