DOUBLE AND SINGLE GERANIUMS. 



The following wonderful new Geraniums were exhibited at the convention of the Society of American Florists, 

 and attracted more attention and were more admired than any other novelties on exhibition there. 



GERANIUM, ROSEBUD. 



r The Premier Set of Double Geraniums. 



PRICE, 8 cents each; any eight for 50 cents. 



Centaur. — The new mammoth Centaur Double Geranium is 

 the best large flowering double pins Geranium in cultivation. 

 Any one seeing a'specinien truss cannot fail to become enthus- 

 iastic over it, pronouncing it the largest and finest Geranium in 

 cultivation. 



Clara Kisker.— Large trusses of well expanded flowers of a 

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

 er of most expressive appearance, and one that will be much ad- 

 mired by all. 



Beauty Poitevi tie.— Very large, semi-double flowers, borne on 

 immense trusses, free bloomer, either as a pot plant eras a bed- 

 der. It has" no equal of the color, which is a brilliant salmon, 

 very clear on the borders. This might well have been called 

 '■Salmon Brnani, ' as it is identical in every way but color. 



White Swan.— In whiteSwan we have one of the finest dou- 

 ble white Geraniums ever introduced, and unlike other double 

 white Geraniums, it is suitable for bedding, and flowers as pro- 

 fusely as the best single varieties. They are borne in large truss- 

 es and are spotless, snowy white, retaining their pure whiteness 

 even in the heat of Summer. 



Bruant. — Color of the flower is a light vermilion red of a most 

 pleasing shade. The flowers are absolutely perfeetinshape con- 

 tour and makeup; trusses exceptionally large and borne in 

 immense spherical balls, often measuring eight inchesm diame- 

 ter, it does finely in the open ground, and is perfectly reliable 

 as a bedding Geranium of the highest merit. 



Tour Eiffel.— Color bright orange scarlet, somewhat in the 

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

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



Gertrude. — Color of the flower a clear, bright salmon, with 

 center and outer edges touched with while and with soft shadings 

 of carmine, velvety in texture, and of the most beautiful semi- 

 double form. I have measured trusses of bloom on this variety 

 ten inches in diameter. It is simply superb. A fine bedder. 



Crimson Velvet. — This is the darkest and richest Geranium 

 grown. It is very bright, dark, deep, rich, velvety maroon, 

 very dark and rich, and at the same lime very bright. An excel- 

 lent bedder and pot plant. One that must find its way into every 

 collection. Simply superb. 



Rose Bud.— As double as a Tuberose, and the only Geranium 

 in the world that makes beautiful buds It is truly "a wonder in 

 the Geranium family. 



Sir Walter Scott.— Color beautiful vinous rose, with distinct 

 white center. Produces line individual florets. 



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

 truss, flowers large and of great substance. An excellent bed- 

 der and pot plant. 



Emile de Girardiu.— Of a deep, soft rose, rather than pink, 

 but fresh and bright. The blossoms are perlect in form, and 

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

 in the Chicago parks, with edgings of •• Gulden Bedder " Colens, 

 formed the most beautiful Geranium planting I have ever Seen, 

 and the combination is delightful.

 tivation. Grows freely and blooms with the greatest profusion.

 with light shading in center. The shading at the center is va- 

 riable, however. Trusses are very large and composed of im- 

 mense numbers of florets.
