LEMON-SCENTED GERANIUM. 



This scarce variety has a more pleasing fragrance than 

 any of the oilier scented Geraniums, but being more diffi- 

 cult of prcgagation has never become common.

GERANIUM MRS. TAYLOR

 We would call special attention to this splendid variety, 

 knowing that it is one of the most valuable for florists, 

 use. The foliage has the same form and fragrance as the 

 common Rose Geranium, but is a darker green. It pro- 

 duces scarlet crimson (lowers in large trusses that rival 

 many of the Pelargoniums in appearance.

 orange scarlet color; as double as a Balaam

NEW YERBENA, "America." 



Among the thousands of seedling Verbenas 

 lhat we have raised in the past twenty years, 

 we have never produced one that equals this. 

 The individual florets are larger than those of 

 any variety of its color, being 1 inch in diame- 

 ter. The trusses are 3$ inches across and of 

 perfect form. The color is a striking shade of 

 crimson scarlet with an immense white eye. It 

 was pronounced by many leading florists, who 

 saw it in our grounds last summer, to be the 

 finest Verbena ever yet produced. The engrav- 

 ing gives but an indifferent idea of its grand 

 appearance. 30 cts. each; $3 00 per doz.
