FANCY-LEAVED GERANIUMS 23 
DWARF GOLD LEAF. Yellow to yellow-green leaves 
without any zone. As in all of the Gold-Leaved varie- 
ties, the color varies, but is generally a good yellow in 
this variety. Not truly a dwarf geranium, but a com- 
pact, short jointed plant. The small, single flowers are 
brilliant scarlet. This variety may possibly be the old 
English variety Gotp Lear, dating before 1860. I con- 
sider it better than CLotH or Go p. It is quite scarce at 
present. 75c 
GOLDEN MacMAHON. Yellow to yellow-green 
leaves with a small, pale, rust-red zone. Varies in col- 
or, but generally is a paler yellow than the others. At 
times the older leaves develop pink spots, near the edges 
and between the veins. Single, light pink flowers. Plant 
compact and rather slow growing. Requires very good 
drainage with plenty of water and food for best results. 
Still very scarce. $1.00 
Silver Tricolor Geraniums 
Ee Ne (Miller). See Dwarf Ses AUIS, page 
FILIGREE. (Miller). Beautifully lobed, nitvery green 
leaves with a wide, creamy white border, lightly zoned 
with pink and brown. The plant is naturally bushy, with 
a spreading habit, and develops into a low mound of 
foliage. The small, single flowers are deep salmon. The 
leaves of FILIGREE have an unusually wide white border, 
and, as a consequence, are sometimes difficult to keep in 
good condition during hot, dry weather. In other respects 
the plant is sturdy, and is reasonably easy to grow. The 
distinctive spreading habit, the wide white border, the nice 
lobing of the leaves, and the dainty zone make FILIGREE 
attractive, different, and desirable. $2.00 
MISS BURDETT COUTTS. Silvery green leaves with 
a wide, pale ivory border, brilliantly zoned with irregu- 
lar splashes of rose-red and brown. The color is bright- 
est in cool, bright weather, and softer in a warm, partly 
shaded location. Rather small, slow growing, bushy 
plant. Not difficult to grow. Small, single, scarlet 
flowers. This fine variety originated before 1870, and 
apparently is the only survivor of a once numerous 
class. $1.25

Golden Tricolor Geraniums 
CONTRAST. Green leaves edged bright yellow with 
a wide zone splashed with scarlet, crimson, and brown, 
Small, single, scarlet flowers. Very much like Mrs, 
Po.tock, but there are slight differences in flower 
color, leaf color, and leaf shape. Scarce. $1.00 
DISPLAY. (Miller). Green leaves with a wide edge 
of yellow, and with a zone of scarlet, crimson, and 
brown. The golden edge is wider than on any other 
Golden Tricolor. The scalloped leaves are large and
