A NEW ERA IN 



TRICOLOR GERANIUMS. 



THE NEW TRICOLOR, 



MRS. GEORGE FOUST. 



As a test of the great merit of this new Geranium, I may state 

 that all the Philadelphia Florists, on seeing it, purchased all the 

 stock I could spare. Among them, Messrs. Buist, Dick, Dreer, and 

 Harris. Mr. Harris, the great Geranium grower, says, " The best 

 thing I have ever seen." 



It perfectly withstands the hottest sun, holding its color and grow- 

 ing vigorous. I may also state, that grown in the greenhouse 

 there is no other variety to equal it in growth and rich color. So 

 much so that customers, on seeing it, will have nothing to do with 

 the other kinds. Was awarded bpecial Premium by Pennsylvania 

 Horticultural Society, in September, 1874. 

 PRICE, $1.50.
