NEW GERANIUMS. 



BEADTT. 



This is a valuable addition to tlie class 

 of white-leaved geraniums, suited for bed- 

 ding, and especially valuable in ribbon 

 work and for masses in geometric planting. 

 We saw tlie whole stock lately when visiting 

 the nursery of Wm. Cutbusli and Son, at 

 Highgate, by whom it is sent out, and 

 were well satisfied of its high merit. The 

 foliage is of a bright green with broad 

 margin of pure white, the flowers light 

 scarlet, in good compact trusses. The habit 

 is robust, and it is reported as very easily 

 kept over winter. It has been tested as a 

 bedder with the most satisfactory results. 

 [Price 2s. 6cl. each, or 21s. per dozen.] 



IMPERIAL CRIMSOX (BEATON.) 



Messrs. E. and G. Henderson and Son, 

 of St. John's Wood, are sending out, for the 

 first time, two very novel geraniums, raised 

 by Mr. Beaton, of Sm-bitou. They are both 

 of the "Nosegay" section, but witli none of 

 tlie leanness of habit, which has been a 

 standing objection to the general use of that 



I section. These are well adapted for beJ- 

 I ding, and for groups in vases, and are essen- 

 tially novel in their colouring and character. 

 Imperial Crimson is of dwarf compact habit ; 

 the foliage of a tliin silken character, and the 

 well-produced trusses of brilliant carmine 

 crimson are well held up and produced 

 throughout the season. We believe this 

 will soon become a great favourite for bed- 

 ding and pot culture. 



[Price 3i-. Gd. each,] 



MODEL KOSEGAT (bEATOn). 



This is essentially a bedder, and the re- 

 sult of a long series of experiments in hv- 

 bridizing, in which the breeder has, at last, 

 been well rewarded. It grows a trifle taller 

 than Imperial Crimson, and is rather less 

 comj^act in habit. The foliage is of a deep 

 green with a zone of a darker tint faintly 

 showing through it. The trusses are open 

 and spreading, and the colour of the blooms a 

 blending of pink and carmine, and suitable 

 to give a distinct sliade to harmonize othei 

 degrees of crimson and scarlet. It is very 

 enduring. [Price 2^. 6d. each.]
