Fancy-Leaved or Variegated Leaved Geraniums are varieties of 
youale Geranpiums with unusual or different colorings or markings 
to the leaves, Most of these varieties are grown for their fol-_ 
iage and do not have especially large or outstanding flowers, A 
couple of the outstanding exceptions are Double Mrs. Polllock with 
very nice little double orange-scarlet bloom and Happy Thought 
with many nice little single vermilion flowers accentuating the 
lovely foliage. It is well to realize that environment has a 
very sreat effect upon the colors of the foliage. ; 
The late Dr. Claude Fishbach of Fresno found that it was nec-~ 
essary to use a corrugated type of glass to get the fullest color 
in the leaves in the hot dry climate of the San Joaquin Valley 
while here in the Santa Clara River Valley we have considerable’ 
diffused sunlight in the mornings and full sun is needed. In , 
eeneral a considerable amount of sun is required to bring out the 
colors to the fullest possible extent. ype 
Usually if there is a great deal of variegation to’ the leaves 
- the plant will be somewhat weaker and slower growing than variect- 
ies without. . Therefore special care must be taken to provide 
reasonably good cultural conditions. Good drainage and ventil= 
ation are the most important factors. may lg | <
