Scarlets 
FLAME—Florets the size of the Berkeleys 
and much larger heads. A shower of scarlet. 
HERRICK—Compact pot or spreading very 
low bedder. One of the best. 
JOHN FORBES—The finest bright dark-scar- 
let available in quantity at present. Many 
Eastern growers raise 500 to 5000 of this 
variety. 
BERKELEY BRILLIANT—About the same 
shade as John Forbes. Flower heads are 
formed by fewer but more enormous flor- 
ets: 
Crimson 
BEAUTY OF GLASSENWOOD (Beauty of 
Chatsworth, California)—Very fine, lignt 
cherry red with small white eye in each 
floret. The plant is compact and a free 
bloomer. 
DARK CALIFORNIA—Rich cherry-red, very 
popular for bedding. One of the finest 
all around single varieties. 
VELMA—Extremely large, garnet-red flowers 
often attaining 6 inches in diameter on 
outdoor grown plants. Free flowering. The 
plant is attractive and good-sized. Ex- 
cellent on the desert. 
NUIT POITEVINE — Large-flowered dark 
wine-red introduced before 1898. Con- 
sistently popular. Also known as Hawaiian 
Red, Hoover, Single Better Times (The 
last is a poor description). 
WILL ROGERS—Positively enormous flowers 
made possible only by the ability of the 
flower stem to make short branches im- 
mediately below the flower head. The color 
is vivid purple-crimson, probably better de- 
scribed as the darkest red possible in geran- 
iums so far. Each floret has a small splash 
of intense scarlet in the center which ac- 
cents the rich color. The plant is heavy 
wooded and has soft grayish-green foliage. 
Magenta 
LADY RUTH—Technically described as Rose 
Bengal, the color is more simply dark 
fuchsia with a scarlet splash at the base 
of the upper petals. This is the bluish-red 
which is such a show in California in the 
spring. Does very well in El Paso, Texas. 
Rose-Pink 
*“GERTRUDE PEARSON — Large flowered, 
strong rose-pink with white in the center. 
The color is very bright and the free flower- 
ing habit makes this one of the brightest 
geraniums and best pinks for bedding pur- 
poses. Excellent plant. 
Pink 
HELEN VAN PELT WILSON—Soft light pink. 
Named by Ernest Rober for the author of 
“Geraniums”’, the first well-accepted book 
On geraniums in this century. The plant is 
very strong.

plants. This class is receiving the greatest amount of interest among the singles at the present 
time. 
RAMONA NO. 2—White to light pink. A 
very profuse bloomer and a very compact 
plant.

pink, of delicate but solid tone, with a 
white center. One of Schmidt’s best singles.

rose-pink. Good-sized flowers on low plant.

red. A rounder floret than Alice of Vin- 
cennes. Popular through central part of the 
country.

mon, shading to a white center. Young 
plants are often completely covered with 
flowers, making Cheerio one of the show- 
iest of the singles. 
SALMON QUEEN—White through brilliant 
salmon. Good color and a hardy plant. Good 
sales appeal. 
LADY DRYDEN—Scarlet red with white cen- 
ter which is mostly confined to two upper 
petals. We also grow Jules Verdin and 
Santa Monica which are very popular and 
almost identical to Lady Dryden.

rise red. This is one of the most popular 
and lends its name to the type. We grow 
large quantities for the pot trade. 
ANN SOTHERN—One of Ernest Rober’s best 
large singles. Medium fuchsia (bluish crim- 
son) on outer edge of petals, shading to a 
white center. There are few geraniums of 
this odd color.

son-purple with white center. Beautiful.
