24 FANCY-LEAVED GERANIUMS 
flat. The zone is a little paler than in Mrs. POoLLock, 
but the proportion of scarlet is greater. Small, single, 
scarlet flowers. DispLay is not a strong grower, so that 
time and care are required to grow a good specimen. 
Early and frequent pinching, and frequent light feeding 
are recommended. When well grown, I consider this the 
most beautiful tricolor. $1.25

HAPPY THOUGHT. Bright green leaves with a 
large, irregular, light yellow to ivory center, faintly 
zoned with irregular splashes of brown and orange. 
Particularly healthy, compact plant. Small, single, ver- 
milion flowers. Originated before 1876. 50c 
JANE MAXWELL. Green leaves edged bright yellow 
with a strongly colored brown zone splashed with red. 
Small, single, scarlet flowers. The yellow edging is 
generally narrower than in Mrs. PoLiock, so that there 
is more brown and less red in the zone. 75c 
MRS. COX. Green leaves edged bright yellow with a 
very wide zone splashed scarlet, crimson and brown. The 
zone is broader, and nearer the edge than in Mrs. Pot- 
LOCK, and the leaves are less lobed. Fairly tall plant that 
grows quite easily. Small, single, light salmon flowers. 
Very colorful under all conditions, even in hot weather. 
eu of the rarest of the Fancy-Leaved Geraniums.

MRS. POLLOCK (single). Green leaves edged bright 
yellow with a wide zone splashed scarlet, crimson and 
brown. Nicely lobed leaves. Small, single, orange-scarlet 
flowers. Created in 1858 by Peter Grieve, and has always 
been considered one of his best. Easily grown. Un- 
fortunately there is also an inferior variety offered 
under this name. 60c 
MRS. POLLOCK (double). Green leaves edged bright 
yellow with a wide zone splashed scarlet, crimson and 
brown. Small, double, orange-scarlet flowers. Except for 
the double flowers, this is essentially the same as the 
original Mrs. Pottocx, but seems to be slightly stronger 
in growth. I consider this the most generally satisfac- 
tory of all the Tricolor Geraniums. 60c

PINK HAPPY THOUGHT. Bright green leaves with 
a large, irregular, light yellow to ivory center, faintly 
zoned with splashes of brown and orange. Small, single 
light rose-pink flowers. Much like the original Happy 
THouGHT in foliage, but has more slender stems and an 
almost trailing habit. Flowers very freely. 60c 
SKIES OF ITALY. Green leaves edged yellow with a 
strong brown zone splashed red. Handsome, sharply lobed 
leaves. Small, single, scarlet flowers. A good specimen 
of SxiEs or ITALY is very rich and brilliant. Young 
plants are not so colorful, having a narrower yellow 
edge and much less red. Plants should be kept quite 
potbound, with strong growing shoots pinched or cut 
back to encourage short, hard, side growth. Light feed- 
ings of complete fertilizer intensify the color. SxKiEs oF 
ITALy is a strong grower. 50c
