Pelargonium multibracteatum is a distinct 
J) 
and handsome species found in Thibet 
and the warmer parts of central Asia. 
After innumerable attempts to hybridize 
it with the improved Zonale bedding 
“‘Geraniums,” the raiser secured asingle 
viable seed, pollenized with the variety 
Gettysburg. The result proves a com- 
plete fusion of the most desirable qualities 
of both parents, being larger in all its 
parts, and much stronger in growth than 
multibracteatum. The handsome palmate 
foliage reaches five inches in diameter, 
borne aloft on long graceful petioles, and 
is velvety green in color, usually marked 
with alightbronzy zone. The flowers are 
produced in the greatest profusion on stiff 
stems, averaging nearly a foot long and 
are poised in light airy umbels of fifteen 
to twenty florets. The florets are usually 
more than an inch across and of a 
brilliant but tender carmine color, bright 
and unchanging until the petals drop, 
which does not occur until the last floret 
expands, a most valuable feature not found 
in other members of the family. It sur-

AGNES KELWA The grandest double pink Geranium 
* it is possible to conceive. Immense 
trusses, flowering as freely as the single sorts, one mass of rosy 
pink flowers. This is invaluable among pink sorts for bedding or 
growing in pots for market... 20c. each, 3 for 50c., 7 for $1.00. 
passes ordinary bedding Geraniums even 
for formal gardening effects, while it is 
most valuable and desirable for its unique 
and distinct appearance for contrasting 
beds, shrubberies and perennial borders, as its graceful beauty 
harmonizes completely with such surroundings. Its vigorous con- 
stitution enables it to cover the ground early in the season with a 
complete mat of exquisite foliage, relieved with its brilliant trusses 
of bloom. The flowers are very desirable for cutting at any season; 
they do not fall from the truss like ordinary Geraniwms and give an 
entirely new decorative effect, the bright umbels on long stems 
resembling gigantic and highly-colored trusses of candytuft, while 
they last several days after cutting. This novelty grows well and 
blooms profusely under ordinary greenhouse or window treatment. 
Price (including: privilege of suggesting a name), 40c. 
each, 3 for $1.00, 7 for $2.00, 12 for $3.00.
