EW stg GERANIUM, “ PROFUSION.” 
(See cut at bottom of page.) 
A grand new Geranium, a seedling from Beaute Poitevine, which 
it resembles in color, but it is dwarfer in habit and much freer 
in bloom, being, in fact, unusually prolific in the production of 
flowers, a characteristic so marked that no other name seemed 
to fit it so well as ‘‘Profusion.” It is a grand variety for bedding 
out in summer and equally valuable for pot plants, and we feel 
must become a standard variety for both purposes. Price, 25c. 
each, $2.25 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 
NEW “ AUREOLE” GERANIUMs. 
This peculiar and most beautiful type of Geraniums, which began 
with ‘“‘Souvenir de Mirande,” is now looked upon as the most 
charmingly unique of the entire race. The name ‘ Aureole” has 
been bestowed upon them as the most descriptive, indicating as it 
does their distinct centre with the outer border of acontrasting color. 
_==MADAME BRUANT.—— 
(See accompanying cul, which is reduced nearly 
one-half from natural size.)  - 
A grand variety, wholly distinct from any other in cultivation. 
White, veined with carmine lake, florets regularly bordered with 
bright solferino; the arrangement of color is exquisite, often inter- 
mingling and producing a striped effect ; the trusses are large and 
beautifully formed; the plant is a good, healthy grower and very 
free flowering. Everything considered, this isthe most distinct and 
wonderfully colored variety ever sent out, and certainly the finest 
plant novelty of the year. Price, 25c. each, 5 for $1.00, 12 for $2.00. 
A fitting companion to the above but a striking contrast. A 
light, high scarlet of dazzling brightness, two upper petals white 
shading to scarlet on the edges, extremely showy. Very valuable 
on account of its bedding qualities; does not lose its color in 
brightest sunshine. Price, 25c. each, 5 for $1.00, 12 for $2.00. 
_—==FREEDOM.——_ 
A seedling from ‘‘Souvenir de Mirande,” the first of this wonder- 
ful ‘‘Aureole” type of single Geraniums. It is a striking variety, 
the centre pure white surrounded by a band of the most dazzling 
rosy scarlet, which shades down into the white producing the 
“‘ Aureole” effect in its greatest brilliancy. Price, 25c. each, 5 for 
$1.00, 12 for $2.00. 
SPECIAL OFFER.
