GERANIUMS. 



SELECTED. 



Ever since we adopted our present plan of 

 cataloguing only a select few of the varieties of 

 Geraniums we grow, it has been our custom to 

 annually test all new varieties of any promise,- 

 giving such as proved themselves worthy a place 

 in this select list, but retaining all older sorts until 

 they are superseded by something better. The 

 following named sorts we are confident are 

 unexcelled.
