CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



Following our usual custom of the past few years we have 

 carefullj selected from the large assortment of Geraniums we 

 always grow, a'very select list of the very best varieties, such as 

 we know are most likely to meet the requirements of our cus- 

 tomers. To enumerate all the sorts we grow would not only 

 occupy much of our valuable space, but would simply be con- 

 fusing to purchasers, making it all the more difficult to make 

 selections. We introduce a few new kinds, having first satisfied 

 ourselves of their superiority by thorough tests. Some older 

 ones hare been retained because they still occupy the foremost 

 place among their kind. All our stock is first-class in every 

 respect and certain to give satisfaction.
