FRUIT AND SPICE SCENTS 
All scents are strong and distinct. 
Note: The first four are varieties of Pelargonium fragrans and have identical plant growth with Nutmeg, but 
leaf colors vary. 
NUTMEG, fragrans—Semi-prostrate plant, a 
criss-cross of small hard wood covered with 
beautiful round, wavy, grey-green foliage. 
Sprays of very tiny white flowers rise 
above foliage. 
FRUITY, fragrans Logeei—Apple and Nut- 
meg cross. Very rich fragrance of ripe fruit. 
Foliage is brownish-green, flower stems red. 
APPLE CIDER, fragrans Codyi—Apple and 
Nutmeg cross. Foliage is light bright green. 
PINE, fragrans turpnenth —Clean scent— 
more turpentine than pine, which does not 
seem to lessen its popularity. Green. 
APPLE, odoratissimwm—Very strong clean 
scent. Round, wavy, dollar-sized leaves 
rise on slender stems six to eight inches 
from the basal stems. Flowers are small 
sprays similar to fragrans varieties.

coarse grower, but one of the best lemon

plant with saw-toothed foliage and nice 
lavender flowers. A very free bloomer, 
and a number one seller.

dark crimson blotches. Scent is just fair, 
but sells well.
