PETER HENBERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



35 



GERANIUMS, GOLD AND SILVER-LEAVED. 



The varieties as named below are selected front nearly fifty sorts in our collection, 

 as being the best representatives of this deservedly popular class of plants. Although 

 in our hot and dry summers the beautiful markings of the leaves are, to a certain extent, 

 lost, yet, as a plant for green-house or parlor culture, nothing is more worthy of cultiva- 

 tion. They are now, perhaps, the most popular plants we cultiyats as house plants, 

 and their leaves being extensively used in baskets and bouquets of cut flowers in Winter, 

 large portions of the space in our green-houses are occupied by them.
