SET NEW DOUBLE GERANIUMS. 



The following collection embraces the very finest of the new 



imported and American raised varieties. The brilliant shades 



of some of these new Geraniums is a revelation to such as have 



not seen them. 



B. K. Bliss. The individual flowers are two inches in diame- 

 ter, of good shape, trusses large, color a rich scarlet. 



Toxbunter. Rich, deep crimson scarlet, large individual 

 flowers and trusses ; one of the very best for bedding. 



George Thorpe. The color is of the most intense light crim- 

 son ; the habit is branching and the foliage never burns ; 

 a grand variety. 



Hoff. Beach. Rich amaranth purple, of fine habit and ro- 

 bust constitution, the foliage wearing well in the hottest 

 weather. 



Hiss McMurray. An immense flower of fine shape ; color 

 a rich warm salmon, with lighter margins ; large, bold 

 trusses of a sturdy habit ; distinct and fine. 



Mrs Cope. Rich carmine red, of large size and immense 

 trusses ; the habit is all that can be desired and a really fine 

 bedder. 



Phallas. A rich apricot orange, most vivid in coloring ; 

 trusses very large ; habit neat and free ; a fine and distinct 

 bedding variety. 



Qaeen of the Fairies. A bi-color variety of the most per- 

 fect shape, rich flesh color, mottled with pearly white. 



Sunlight. A most intensely fiery salmon color, shaded 

 orange ; of very free growth, with large and bold trusses ; 

 a valuable and distinct bedding variety.

30 cts. each ; set 15 for $3.60. 



NEW DOUBLE GERANIUM . 

 "Garnet." 



A peculiarly rich shade of crimson scarlet. The trusses are 

 very large and stand a long time without fading, making it & 

 most valuable pot plant. It is also a grand bedding variety. 

 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz. 



NEW SINGLE SCARLET GERANIUM . 

 "Seminole." 



A great acquisition in bedding Geraniums. The trusses are 

 very large and perfect, not dropping in the centre, as many varie- 

 ties do. Color, vivid scarlet with a white eye. Habit of plant. 

 dwarf, but very vigorous. 



75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



NEW SINGLE PINK GERANIUM . 

 "KingOlga." 



Undoubtedly the finest single bedding Geranium that has 

 been sent out in years. It will entirely displace Master Chris- 

 tine, as it surpasses that fine old sort in every respect. The 

 petals are brilliant deep pink, white at the base. The trusses 

 are very large and perfect, and it is the freest-flowei-ing variety 

 of its color. Its strong growth and other good points make it in- 

 valuable. 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 



MP. SOLLEROI. 



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.) 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



The plants came this day in very good order. Accept thanks for " extras."
