 flower. Extra fine.

NEW DOUBLE GERANIUMS. 



The following varieties are the pick of a recent importation 

 from France, and are truly magnificent. In size of truss and 

 floret, and in brilliancy of color and in profusion of bloom, they 

 are far superior to the older varieties : 



Bac-ninh. Immense trusses of large perfect flowers ; centre 

 salmon, bordered with lively red. 



NEW DOUBLE GERANIUMS. Continued. 



Gen. Millot. Trusses full and peifect, and enormous size.

 a rich shade of apricot. 



Blanc Parfait. Very dwarf and free flowering. The finest 



double white. 

 Bruant. Trusses and pips of immense size, semi-double ; 



color sparkling vermilion. 



Grand. Chancellor. We consider this the finest variety of 

 recetit introduction. For dwarf and beautiful habit, 

 wonderful freedom of bloom, striking and brilliancy of 

 color it has no equal. So marked is its superiority, that a, 

 small bed of it planted last summer among our collection 

 of over 1C0 other varieties attracted the attention of the 

 most casual observer. 



60c. each ; set of fi for $3.00. 



JID. SOLLEKOI. 



NEW SILVER GERANIUM, 

 "Md. Solleroi." 



This is the greatest acquisition in variegated Geraniums, for 

 bedding purposes, that has been introduced since the old 

 "Mountain of Snow." It is entirely distinct from that class, 

 however, as it partakes to some extent of the character of the- 

 Ivy-leaved section. It makes a round, pretty plant, about one 

 foot high and wide. Foliage bright green, edged pure white. 

 (See cut.) 30c. each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



HYDRANGEA ROSEA. 



This belongs to the same class as the white variety, "Thos. 



Hogg," but with beautiful dark rose colored flowers. It is not 



quite hardy in this latitude, requiring the protection of leaves, 



straw or some similar covering material during the winter. 



50c. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



HYDRANGEA ACUMINATA. 



A very distinct early flowering variety with large heads of 

 bright rose colored flowers. The stems of this variety are en- 

 tirely black, which gives the plant a strange and unique appear- 

 ance. 50c. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



The box of plants arrived in first-class condition, and are flourishing. Thev act like native Minnesotians, and no one could tell they had 

 come such a distance. For the large number of extras you sent I am very much obliged.
