SELECTIONS OF TRICOLOR GERANIUMS. 



A SELECTION OF TWELVE GOLD-MARGINED TRI- 

 COLOBS, 



Averaging IO5. 6d. to 31*. 6cl. eacli. 



Zadi/ Cullum (E. G. Henderson). — Richest 

 in shades of gold, yellow, and grass-green, 

 with fine shades of red ; a good grower, 

 -j^f^' . keeping its colour long, and in due lime will be a 



bedder. 

 Lucy Grieve (E. G. H.). — Fine for the intensity of the red zone. 

 Sophia Bumaresque (E. G. H.).— In neatness of habit near fulfil- 

 ment of the law of pi operties and regular balance of colours in disk, zone, 

 and margin ; one of the finest of all. 



Meteor (Saltmarsh and Son). — Fine for properties, the leaf being almost cir- 

 cular and quite tiat, zone rich in shades of red, margin fine cbrome-yellow, very 

 distinct, and fine constitution. 



Queen Victoria {^.VQrk\r\?, and Son).— Quite distinct and striking in colours, 

 showing at a distance a blending of blue, scarlet, and gold colour, the disk being 

 very dark or bluish green, the zone being fiery and the margin deep yellow. 

 "Will be a superb bedder. 



Jetty Lacy (F. and A. Smith). — The form of the leaf good, the zone notable for 

 splendid shades of chestnut, brick-red, and jet-black ; makes a brilliant specimen. 



Beauty of Surrey (F. and A. S.).— Margin brilliant yellow, zone rich umber 

 with black i^hades and bars of bright carmine, small bright green disk ; distinct and 

 peculiarly rich. 



Eclipse (F. and A. Smith). — Leaves rather too large, and too profoundly lobed, 

 but the zone so rich in vermilion-red that we must put up with the irregularities of 

 form ; a splendid variety. 



Defiance (K. and A. S.).— Lemon yellow fading to straw colour, the zone carmine 

 and black, with obscure patches of deep brown. There is so much blue in the red 

 of the zone that when a fine plant is in fine condition, there is a purplish hue per- 

 ceptible, in pleasing contrast to the black, green, and yellow. 



3/r5.Z>a- (Watson).— Very neat in habit, of medium size throughout, and com- 

 ing near to win thirty in the three first sections of the code. Colours well 

 balanced, growth good, and will in time be a bedder. 



Louisa Smith ^F. and A. S.). — Brilliant red, black, and gold colouring, and one 

 of the neatest habited in growth. Worth a place, if only six were selected. 



Titania (Carter and Co.). — Remarkable for the brilliant shades of red and the 

 rich deep black of the zone, the margin being a beautiful shade of yellow. If we 

 wanted only six, this must be one of them. 



A SELECTION OF SIX SiLVER-MAnGINED TEICOLORS, 



Averaging \0s. Qd. to 31*. Qd. each. 



Queen Victoria (F. and A. S.). — Very neat in growth, margin creamy, some- 

 times pale sulpliur, zone showing delicate and pleasing shades of red. 



Princess of Wales (F. and A. S.).— Foliage large and abundant, margins 

 creamy white, zones showing shades of black and purplish red ; fine. 



Impcratrice Euyenie (F. and A. S.). — Showing as much colour as any of its 

 class out ; perhaps more colour than any of its class known. A slow grower, but 

 constitution good, and safe for a bedder. 



Caroline Longfield (E. G. H.).— A certain surpass of Italia Unit^. 



Wassand Halt Beauty (E. G. H.). — Peculiarly adapted for bedding, but as a
