Sceuted-Leaved Gerautums 
Two years ago our catalog mentioned that the scented were gaining in popularity. 
Having learned of the dependable supply and good selection, growers have found rooted 
cuttings to be a highly profitable item as the public buys scented-leaved geraniums 
readily for window pots and garden plants. We maintain batches of twelve to twenty-five 
thousand scented-leaved. Although thousands of varieties were once grown, we have selected 
only the finest in order to eliminate confusion. 
The manner of growing which has proven most satisfactory is to buy the number 
needed for a month, or sixty days at the most, and turn the plants at their best. Reorder 
as needed, or place an order for regular shipments. 
Many people are fond of all the scents, but even the hardest to please will find 
some favorites. We find that a selection of at least 10 varieties is most profitable to the 
growers; thus, in the scented we deviate from the usual minimum of 25 of a variety and 
fill orders of 100 or more with 10 of a kind. When the customer makes his own selection, 
it is helpful to include an alternative in case some variety is out of stock. 
Instead of listing the scented-geraniums in alphabetical arrangement of botanical names, 
we are listing the varieties by scent, which is of first interest to the grower. The Oak- 
Leaved, Lemon-Rose and P. crispum are listed as groups for convenience. The remaining 
group contains those varieties that are grown mainly for their flowers or plants. This is a 
very important group in the scenteds. 
As all are genus Pelargonium, only variety names are listed. 
Rooted only; $7.50 per 100, $70.00 per 1000 (unless noted with variety). 
LEMON-ROSE 
Some misunderstanding arises from the reference to “‘rose-scented’’ geraniums. Most 
of the rose-scented varieties actually have fine lemon or Minty scents—some have an _ in- 
describable companion fragrance. The term ‘‘rose-scented’’ arises from the basic commercial 
use of Rose Geraniums. Grown in large acreages in Europe, they are a source of fine oil for 
perfumes, practically a necessity in the manufacture of rose perfume. Unless size is men- 
tioned, growth is rapid; and a height of 2% feet can be expected in the garden the first 
season. 
Note: Listed from the deepest cut foliage to the least cut foliage. All are good pot plants, so no further mention 
of this quality is made. 
/ 
CROWFOOT, radula—Parent of most of the 
rose-scented geraniums. The foliage is very 
deeply cut—almost just rib stems of 
bluish-grey. Profuse clusters of tiny laven- 
der flowers. 
DR. LINVINGSTON, (Skeleton Rose), denti- 
culatum—tVall, light green plant with 
skeleton foliage, and a splendid lemon-rose 
scent. 
OLD FASHIONED ROSE, graveolens—Big 
plant, probably best known of this class. 
The first seed business in the city of New 
York was fouded on this variety. It is the 
variety most often used in_ flavoring 
jellies and preserves, and for fifty years 
during the last century was one plant 
that could be found at almost every home. 
Old Fashioned Rose is the variety most 
often requested by private parties trying 
to locate a scource of supply. 
SILVER-LEAF-ROSE, (Grey Lady Plymouth), 
graveolens marginalis—Almost equal in 
growth with its green form, Old Fashioned 
Rose, this variety has a very narrow silver 
edge. Good.

veolens variegatum—Excellent light yel- 
low plant with a healthy appearance. 
Probably the most popular scented ger- 
anium, About half the size of Old Fash- 
ioned Rose. A superb pot plant or border 
plant in the garden. 
ATTAR OF ROSES, capitatwm—Not upright, 
but a compact mound about two. feet 
high. Small lavender flowers in groups. 
CAMPHOR-ROSE, graveolens, variety—lden- 
tical growth and flowers of Attar of Roses, 
except it has a strong camphor fragrance. 
ROBER’S LEMON ROSE, graveolens, cultivar. 
Very fine and popular. Leaves are deeply 
cut and have a neat narrow margin of 
leaf around each rib structure. 
GRAVE’S STAGHORM ROSE, graveolens, cul- 
tivar—Similar to Rober’s but larger plant 
with wider leaf margins around ribs. 
ROUND LEAF ROSE, adcifoliwm — Semi-
