New Bronze Geranium, ''St. Joe." 



This splendid Geranium was raised by us two years ago, and has 

 had a fair trial in pots and bedded oiit, which enables us to re- 

 commend it to the public with the following superior qualities : 

 1. Stands the sun and dry weather better than any variety we 

 have seen ; 2. It is as free a bloomer as Harry King : 3. More of a 

 spreading habit. The flowers are of a rich rose-color, carried 

 well above the foliage. Color of leaves, rich golden ground with 

 a very large chocolate zone. 50c. each, S.5.00 per doz. Free by 

 mail. HANS NIELSON, ST. JOSEPH, MO. mh.l
