WH1TK SWAN GERANIUM. 



Madame HoRte. — Umbels large and borne we'l above the foliage. 

 Flowers of enormous size, color flesh, lined and shaded with 

 bright salmon. One ot the very finest in the collection. 

 Shading simply exquisite, 



Clara Kinker. — Large trusses of well-expanded flowers of a 

 bright scarlet, toned and flamed with a rosy-salmon, and a 

 flower of most expressive appearance, and one that will be 

 much admired bv all. 



Sir Walter Sco't. — Color a beautiful vinous rose, with distinct 

 white center. This variety produces fine individual florets, 

 which, combined with its other good qualities, makes it a 

 valuable Geranium. This variety supersedes Sergeant 

 Bobillett, being a much finer Geranium. 



iLeyiathan — Enormous-sized flowers, round, in the shape of ro- 

 settes. Color a bright orange-red, reverse of petals silvery. 

 Very fine. Semi-double flowers. 



Tour Eiffel,— Color bright orange-scarlet, somewhat in the way 

 of the variety Bruant. Tt is a strong, vigorous grower, mak- 

 ing a distinct place for itself in its class Semi-double. 



Fire Brand. — Color dazzling flame scarlet, fine, prominent truss, 

 flowers large and of great substance. An excellent bedder 

 and pot plant. For planting in masses we have seen none to 

 equal it. Another thing in its favor, it takes fewer plants 

 from its sturdy branching habit to give effect. 



Centaur, — The new mammoth Centaur Double Geranium is the 

 best large-flowering double pink Geranium in cultivation. 

 Anyone seeing a specimen truss cannot fail to become en- 

 thusiastic over it, pronouncing it the largest and finest Gera- 

 nium in cultivation. The new Centaur is remarkable for its 

 stout, robust growth, and for its immense trusses of bloom. 



Beanty Poiterine. — Very large, semi-double flowers, borne on 

 immense trusses. Free bloomer, either as a pot plant or as a 

 tedder. It has no equal of the color, which is a brilliant 

 Salmon, very clear on the borders. This might well have 

 been called "Salmon Bruant," as it is identical in every way 

 but color. 



Crimson Vel?et. — This is the darkest and richest Geranium 

 grown. It is very bright, dark, deep, rich velvetv-maroon, 

 very dark and rich, and at the same time very bright. An 

 excellent bedder and pot plant. One that must find its way 

 into every collection. Simply superb. 



tiloire de France. — Large, round florets, of waxy appearance, 

 colors carmine and white, with carmine center, each petal 

 delicately tinged with carmine. An excellent pot variety, to 

 which its habit is finely suited. It is one of the prettiest Ge- 

 raniums we have. This is the most beautiful of all parti- 

 colored Geraniums which appear so bewitching to the eye. 

 The very brightest color imaginable. 



Bruant — Color of the flower a Tight vermilion-red of a most 

 pleasing shade. The flowers are absolutely perfect in shape, 

 contour and make-up, trusses exceptionally large, and borne 

 in immense spherical balls, often measuring eight inches in 

 diameter. It does finely in the open ground, and is perfectly 

 reliable as a bedding Geranium of the highest merit. 



Emile de ttirardin. — Of a deep, soft rose, ralher than pink, but 

 fresh and bright, the blossoms are perfectin form, and borne 

 well and clear above the foliage. The long beds of it seen 

 in the Chicago parks, with their edgings of'Golden Bedder" 

 Coleus, formed the most beautiful Geranium planting we 

 have ever seen, and the combination is delightful. 



Gertrude.— Color of the flower a clear. Bright salmon, with cen- 

 ter and outer edges touched with white and with soft shad- 

 ings of carmine, velvety in texture, and of the most beautiful 

 semi-double form. We have measured trusses of bloom on 

 this variety ten inches in diameter. It is simply superb. A 

 fine bedder. 



White Swan —In White Swan we have one of the finest double 

 white Geraniums ever introduced, and unlike other double 

 white Geraniums, it is suitable for bedding and flowers as 

 profusely as the best single varieties. They are borne in 

 large trusses and are a spotless, snowy- white, retaining their 

 pure whiteness even in the heat of Summer.
