*WILLY (Dark Red) (28)-—One of the finest 
florist varieties, this full double, dark red 
is one of the top varieties. The growth is 
nice and not at all coarse. Willy makes a 
strong plant with quite large wocd and 
ample neat foliage. 
GRINGORE (22)—Usually identical with Mon- 
solet, it sometimes has a very slight darker 
cast. 
*CHARLES MONSOLET (22)—Double cerise 
to cerise-purple On a very strong compact 
plant. This is a growers’ favorite. 
*JOSEPH WARREN (25)—Double purple of 
clear color and fine flower. Well grown 
plants are very compact. Fairly fast. 
NEW PURPLE (25)—Same as Joseph Warren, 
but darker during hot weather.

Center: CAYUCAS, a compact ivy-leaved. Upper left: Nutmeg Lavender, the finest 
pot plant of all ivy-leaved. These plants were used for show, lectures, and TV for 
three months and were still superb. 
Pale Orchid to Lavender 
COL. BADEN POWELL (15)—Semi-double, 
lilac-white marked cerise. One of the best 
very light colors. 
*CLIFF HOUSE (20) — Semi-double light 
lilac or orchid. Strong grower, popular. 
ROBER’S LAVENDER (24)—Lighter and 
sometimes more orchid than Lavender 
Queen and Hanford. Good strong plant 
and free bloomer. 
LAVENDER QUEEN (22)—Fine semi-double, 
clear orchid. Very free flowering and a 
nice plant. Delicate. 
BRIDESMAID (19)—Large flowered, beauti- 
ful orchid. Tendency to overbloom out- 
doors, but an excellent pot. 
HANFORD (19)—New. Very similar to 
Bridesmaid; a little more double appearing, 
slightly larger flowers, and stronger plant. 
ROBER’S LAVENDER ROSE (19) — Full 
double, rosettes about the size of an open 
Cecil Brunner rose. Light lavender with a 
bluish cast on edges. The foliage is shield- 
shaped on very small wood. A_ profuse 
bloomer. 
LAVENDER GEM (13)—Full double, small 
florets borne in profusion. Like Rober’s 
Lavender Rose and Jeanne D’Arc, the 
foliage is crisp and shield-like and the 
wood very small. 
*NUTMEG LAVENDER (12) — Full double 
flowered of the same type as the above two 
varieties. A profusion of bluish lavender 
flowers all season. The foliage has a strong 
scent of rich peach fragrance. 
*SANTA PAULA (17)—Very low growing, 
much branching plant covered with a great 
number of lavender-blue flowers. A year-old 
plant often has 150 flower stems in bud 
and bloom. Mr. and Mrs. McCollum of 
Ace Nursery, Altadena, Calif., discovered 
this variety in Santa Paula, California. In 
1952, we introduced it nationally; and in 
three short years has become the leading 
ivy-leaved geranium.
