Abstract
A new and distinctive geranium plant variety particularly distinguished by its very floriferous growth habit and its profuse production of bright Carmine Rose-colored flowers comprising relatively small clusters borne on relatively long, downwardly hanging branches standing over a background of glossy, dark green, medium sized leaves which provide a brilliant background for the flowers. The florets are of medium size and well filled and seven or eight of them form a round cluster, a plurality of which are carried on the hanging branches extending from upright stalks that are about 12 to 13 cm. long. The flowers are very double and appear somewhat like roses when they open and the flower clusters nearly cover the hanging tendrils which can grow in length up to about 50 cm.

I claim: 1. The new and distinctive geranium variety, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized by its downwardly hanging branches bearing many lengthwise-distributed flower clusters of a light pink coloring and by its glossy, dark green foliage.
