MISS MARTHA HISER. URBAXA, OHIO, 



NEW DOUBLE CRIMSON-FLOWERING O A |\|UTT 

 BEDDING GERANIUM, 5 3 S 3 S 3 N 



Positively the great- 

 est Crimson Bedding 

 Geranium. This, the 

 finest of dark crimson 

 Geraniums, has now 

 taken the lead as a 

 bedding: Geranium.be- 

 ing- used in the iarg-est 

 parks and public 

 grounds of the coun- 

 try, in preference to 

 all others. Its dense, 

 compact growth, pro- 

 fuse blooming- quali- 

 ties and sun-proof con- 

 stitution combined 

 give it the prominence 

 as a bedder it has at- 

 tained. As a pot plant 

 it can not be excelled; 

 as it does not make 

 long, straggling 

 growth, as so many 

 other Geraniums do in 

 the Winter. Price, 10 

 double crimson flowering gerantcm, s. a. NTTT cts each, 3 for 25 cts; or will send 20 fine plants for $1, postpaid 



Beautiful New Single Aureole Geranium, Md. Bruant. 



A magnificent variety for bedding. No other Geranium 

 has ever attracted so much attention or been so much admired 

 as this beautiful new aureole flowered variets\ It is entirely 

 distinct from any Geranium in cultivation, so much sethat 

 visitors on passing through the greenhouses where hundreds 

 of other varieties are in bloom, single it out at once as the most 

 beautiful and attractive in the whole collection. It might with 

 propriety be called the Pansy -Flowered Geranium, so distinct 

 is it from the ordinary style. The plant is a vigorous grower, 

 making nice compact plants, and very free flowering, produc- 

 ing fine, large trusses of bloom in great profusion; individual 

 flowers of large, fine shape; center of flower white, veined 

 with carmine lake, the five petals regularly and distinctly bor- 

 dered with bright solferino. The arrangement of color is ex- 

 quisite and entirely new in Geraniums. An excellent variety 

 for pot culture, being a continuous bloomer Winter and Sum- 

 mer. Price, 10 cents each, 3 for 25 cents; or I will 

 send 20 fine plants for $1.00, postpaid. 



Francis Perkins, New Double Pink. 



This I consider the finest pink bedding Geranium to date 

 for our climate. It is a decided improvement on that popular 

 variety, Emile de Gerarde, being a much brighter, clearer 

 color. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and a prolific 

 bloomer: flowers are perfect in form and are borne well above 

 the foliage on long foot stalks; color, a clear, bright pink. It 

 stands the sun admirably, and for massing there is nothing 

 that equals it in its color. Price, 10 cts each, 3 for 25 cts. 

 For $1.00 I will send 16 fine plants. 



Giant Bedding Geranium, Bruanti. 



Color of the flower is a light vermillion-red of a most pleas- 

 ing shade. The flowers are absolutely perfect in shape, con- 

 tour and make-up, trusses exceptionally large and borne in 

 immense spherical balls, often measuring 8 inches in diame- 

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

 as a bedding Geranium of the highest merit. Price, 10 cts 

 each, 3 for 25 cts; 20 fine plants for $1.00, postpaid.
