SMITH'S FAVORITE 



This Geranium is a sport from tin- I^rlnce Charles. 

 It is a great bloomer, having double fiowers, varie- 

 g;ated and very pretty. The stem is from 4 to 6 

 inches long. I have cultivated it for three years. 

 I have somewhere between tiOO and SOO plants. I 

 think there is none other like it in the United States. 

 The flower will last as long as Carnations after be- 

 ing cut. I now offer them for sale for the first time, 

 3 at the dozen rate. Rates, $ti.00 per dozen. 

 Cash with order.
