GERANIUM (Pelargonium). 



Perhaps the best reference we can make to what is to- 

 day the most desirable plant for out-door cultivation — 

 the Zonale Geranium— is to call attention to the col- 

 ored plate in the PI ant portion of our catalogue for 1880, 

 which faithfully illustrates a few of the newer types 

 of the Zonale section. Its numberless varieties, simple 

 culture, the immunity it enjoys from insects and dis- 

 ease, and its great free-blooming qualities, have placed 

 it so high in general estimation, that it is rapidly sup- 

 erseding the Verbena, hitherto the most popular bed- 

 ding plant grown. 



Geranium Zonale. Newer Types. AVe offer large 

 packet, containing seeds of all 9 types of Single Gera- 

 niums showu in colored plates of last season, mixed,

New Cocoanut, (See Novelties) 50 



— Ivy-Leaved. A beautiful class, worth cultivating

 hanced by the beauty and profusion of its flow- 

 ers, running through the various shades of white, 

 pink, and crimson _ 5
