 pure white, each shaded toward the center with rich crimson 

 pink, with a glowing crimson blotch on each. I have always

 large flowers, borne m large, fine-shaped trusses Color bright 

 red, with lighter center, with heavy maroon blotches in upper 

 petals.

 seul.— A fit companion of -Joan of Arc " The plant is vigor- 

 ous, leaves without zones, flowers very large, two inches across, 

 double and imbricated, in good trusses Color a bright, goiden 

 salmon I have no hesitancy in saying that this is tbe richest 

 colored flower of any grown. All who see it say, " Is it possible 

 that is a Geranium flower?" 



New Double White Ivy Geranium, Joan of Arc.—" This is 

 one of the most beautiful plants that it has ever been my priv- 

 ilege to offer. The flowers are perfectly double, white as snow, 

 and literally cover the plant when in full bloom The foliage 

 is extremely handsome, the dense, glossy green leaves making 

 a most effective background for the great cluster of snow white 

 flowers " The foregoing was my description of last year, and 

 another season's trial makes me heartily endorse it. 



New Double Ivy Geranium, Galilee.— Another grand sort. 

 One of the most remarkable of recent introduction. The trusses 

 are of immense size, flowers very large and double, and of a 

 most charming shade of lovely rosy pmk, varied with lilac. A 

 magnificent variety.

 and bears large umbels of white flowers that are covered with 

 wax; hence its name. It is very desirable. 10 cents each.

 sorts, my selection, 50 cents. I have large plants at

Sinensis Gigauteus.— This is a plant for house culture dur 

 ing Winter or Summer, or for planting outside during Summer, 

 It blooms at all limes of the year. The plan is branch freely autS 

 flower profusely, commencing to bloom when not more than s. 

 foot high. As a specimen plant for large pots it has an equal 

 only in the Brugmansia. Its flowers are of enormous size, oftera 

 eight to ten inches across, opening flat, and of such a titjcI 

 crimson scarlet color that they can be seen for a long distance, 

 like a flaming torch, It is hard to find anything among flowers 

 more strikingly showy. They can be wintered in the cellar or 

 pit with perfect safety, and if one does not care to grow them all 

 Winter, one should have one or two for Summer display. No 

 plant is surer to grow and thrive under any treatment than this, 

 and few can ever be so satisfactory. 



Auriantica.— Large and double, with orange colored flowers.

 ering the plant with scarlet cnmson flowers.
