GOLDEN TRICOLOR GERANIUM, Mrs. POLLOCK* 



The ground color of the leaf is deep green ; next comes a zone of bronze crimson, the margin of 

 which is tinted with scarlet; then again a belt of lighter green, the margin of the leaf being clear 

 yellow. As an ornament for the parlor or conservatory, nothing yet excels this beautiful cia^s of 

 which Mrs. Pollock is a type ; the flowers are dark scarlet, in good size trusses, borne on short 

 foot stalks but a few inches above the leaves. The leaves are much used in bouquets in winter. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



GERANIUMS-PELARGONIUMS. 



The markings of the flowers of this beautiful class- are so varied and blended that to give 

 description of them would only be confusing to the amateur. We have selected from time to 

 time the best varieties, discarding those not coming up to the standard of merit, and now offer 

 24 of the best and distinct sorts, comprising a wide range of color. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



GLOXINIAS. 



These are among the handsomest of our summer blooming greenhouse plants, the rich and 

 varied coloring of the flowers being beautiful in the extreme. The bulbs should be started in 

 spring, and after blooming all summer, require a season of rest. This can be done by gradually 

 withholding water from them. After they are dried off, they may be kept in a warm, dry cellar I 

 or under the stage of a greenhouse. 



Price, 50 cents each ; $4. 50 per dozen. 



CLAUCIUM CORNICULATUM. 



A white leaved ornamental plant with long silvery white velvety leaves, gracefully recurved, 

 deeply cut to the mid-rib, and each leaf again cut and curled; the flowers are orange yellow. It 

 is of vigorous growth; its silvery color makes a fine contrast with dark colored foliage plants. 



Price, 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 



GLECHOMA CRISTATA. 



A fine trailing basket plant; leaves light green, the edges crimped. 

 Price, 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 



GLADIOLUS, FRENCH HYBRID. 



The varieties of this beautiful class are now so numerous, and many of them so much resem- 

 bling each other, that we do not give a descriptive list of varieties. Our collection, however, is 

 very select, embracing about thirty distinct sorts. Gladiolus, by planting every two weeks (from 

 1st of May to 1st June), will give a succession of bloom from July until November. The bulbs 

 are of the easiest culture, never failing to bloom. Our prices this season, owing to the large stock 

 we hold, are much reduced. They are now so low that beds exclusively of Gladiolus may be 

 planted at small cost. 



Price, 25 cents each; $2.25 per dozen. 50 choice flowering bulbs, in 25 named sorts, $7.50. 

 100 choice flowering bulbs, in 25 named sorts, $12.00. 



The same unnamed, 10 cents each; $1.00 per dozen; $8.00 per 100.
