DWARF GERANIUMS ad 
RUFFLES. (Miller). Very dwarf plant with dark leaves 
and semi-double, salmon flowers. The flowers are of 
good size, with some of the petals ruffled. The clusters 
are small to medium and held close to the foliage. The 
small leaves are dark olive-green to blackish green with 
a darker zone. The plant is very bushy and compact, 
slow growing, and never more than a few inches high. 
Free flowering at all seasons. So far as I know, RUFFLES 
is the first double flowered, dark-leaved dwarf to be of- 
fered. The supply this year is limited. $2.50 
SPRITE. (Miller). Silver-Leaved. Small, dark grayish- 
green leaves with a wide ivory-white border. In winter, 
the ivory border is flushed with coral, particularly on the 
newer leaves. The plant is truly dwarf, slow growing, 
and bushy. The ultimate height is probably around 8 or 
10 inches, but it takes several years to reach that size. 
The single, salmon-coral flowers are freely produced, 
and go well with the foliage colors. I believe that 
Sprite is the first Dwarf Fancy-Leaved Geranium ever 
produced. It is a beautiful little plant and a real col- 
lector’s gem. 
TWINKLE. (Miller). See New Geraniums for 1954, 
page 7 
WHITECAP. (Miller). Dwarf plant with dark leaves 
and white flowers. The single flowers are pure white 
with the edges of the petals waved. They are of medium 
size, in large clusters that last well. The leaves are 
olive-green without any zone. The plant is bushy and 
compact, but grows more strongly than most of the 
Dwarf Geraniums, and in time may become 12 inches 
high. WautecaP is very free flowering. $2.50. 
The Dwarf Geraniums do not ship quite so well as other 
geraniums. This is particularly true for the Fancy- 
Leaved Dwarf varieties. Although Air Parcel Post is 
expensive, it may be justified for long distance shipment 
of the higher priced varieties.
