These Ten Best Double Geraniums For 75 Cents. 



White Swan. — The New 



White Double Geranium. In 



the White Swan we have 



the finest double white 



Geranium ever introduced. 



It is a dwarf, compact -grow- 

 ing variety, with handsome, 



banded foliage of a light, 



healthy green. The perfect 



double flowers are unsur- 

 passed for cut flowers. They 



are borne in large trusses, 



and are a spotless snowy 



white, retaining their pure 



whiteness even in the heat 



of summer. In the Fall the 



plants can be taken in the 



house, where they will again 



bloom profusely. One hun- 

 dred and four trusses and 



buds have been counted 



upon a single exhibition 



plant. The White Swan 



Geranium astonishes all who 



grow it.

round florets of waxy appear' 



ance, colors carmine and 



white, with carmine center, 



each petal delicately edged 



with carmine. An excellent 



potvanety.
