Description

165
SINGLE
GENERAL GRANT.
It is a brilliant orange-
scarlet, the flowers are pro-
duced in marvelous profusion,
the habit is perfect, semi-
dwarf, branching and compact.
On the whole, Single Geran-
iums are even more satis-
factory for bedding than th£
double ones, as in a very short
time after a summer storm
they are as fresh as before
without any hand cleaning;
the double flowers, on the
other hand, have to be cleaned off and they are long in appear-
ing after a storm. (See cut.) Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per
doz., $8.00 per 100.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
