LADY WASHINGTON GERANIUMS 
Also known as Show, Fancy or Martha Washington Geraniums, and often as just plain 
Pelargoniums. Botanically Pelargonium domesticum varieties. 
The following are not 1955 novelties, but new introductions of 1954 and 1953. Priced at 
end of group descriptions. 
CHERIE (Kerrigan)—Ruffled palest pink, with 
rose spot in each petal. Large upright- 
flowering umbels (instead of the usual out- 
ward-facing flowers). Popular in 1954. 
DAWN (Kerrigan)—Very large, soft salmon 
pink with an apricot undertone, near-white 
at center, medium sized velvety-maroon 
blotch in top petals. Low, bushy grower. 
Tops. 
DELILAH (Schmidt 1954)—Lower petals soft 
orchid pink, small rose spot in petal center. 
Top petals deep velvety red-brown, veined 
red and black, deep salmon flush on light 
border. Very large flowers. 
GERONIMO (Kerrigan)—Good sized flowers 
of glowing blood red on fairly bushy plant. 
Distinctive bright red flowers last well. 
HOLIDAY (Evans)—Ruffled flowers in large 
umbels. Lower petals white with pink 
blush; top petals deep velvety maroon 
with strawberry flush toward border. 
Showy color contrast. 
LAVENDER GRAND SLAM (Schmidt 1953)— 
Sport of Grand Slam with the same good 
habit of growth and long blooming sea- 
son, but color is a fairly deep orchid 
lavender. 
PINK CONSPICUOUS (Schmidt 1953)—Sport 
of Conspicuous, with the same continuous 
blooming season, but somewhat lower, 
more branching in growth. Frilled flowers 
palest blush, dark red veining and blotch 
in top petals. 
PRELUDE (Kerrigan) —Slightly deeper in 
color and even larger in flower size than 
Dawn. Very good. 
WHITE CLOUD (Kerrigan)—No longer “Pat- 
ent applied for.” The first all-white Lady 
Washington geranium. Large flowers, very 
free blooming. Even small pot plants bloom 
well.
