^"double Geranium, "PROFUSION" 



A grand new Geranium, a seedling from Beaute Poitevine, 

 which it resembles in color, but it is dwarfer in habit and much 

 freer in bloom, being in fact, unusually prolific in the production 

 of flowers, a characteristic so marked that no other name seemed 

 to fit it so well as " Profusion." It is a grand variety for bed- 

 ding out in summer and equally valuable for pot plants, and we 

 feel must become a standard variety for both purposes. Price, 

 $1.50 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



COLUMBIA. 



A charming single-flowered variety; color light, high 

 scarlet of dazzling brightness, two upper petals white shad- 

 ing to scarlet on the edges, extremely showy. Very valuable 

 on account of its bedding qualities ; does not lose its color in 

 brightest sunshine. Price, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



FREEDOM.- 



A seedling from "Souvenir de Mirande," the first of this 

 wonderful " Aureole" type of single Geraniums. It is a striking 

 variety, the centre pure white surrounded by a band of the most 

 dazzling rosy scarlet, which shades down into the white pro- 

 ducing the " Aureole" effect in its greatest brilliancy. Price, 

 $1.00 per doz.; $8. 00 per 100. 



NEW GIANT FLOWERING HELIOTROPE. 



Efforts to improve the Heliotrope have been persistently made 

 by experts all over the world for a number of years, and 

 at last these efforts have been successful ; realization has 

 surpassed the most ardent expectation. One can scarcely 

 recognize the old garden favorite in its new glorified 

 form. The size of the foliage and its quality is 

 doubled ; the habit of the plant is made compact and 

 bushy instead of being scraggy and sprawling ; the 

 size of the flowers is magnified beyond belief, speci- 

 men heads measuring ten to fiftee?i inches across ; 

 the color is better. Price. 75c. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 



Note. — We can supply the ordinary Heliotropes, 

 all fine sorts, blue, lavender and white, at 50c. per 

 doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



PRIMULA OBCONICA 



GRANDIFLORA. 



The old Primula Obconica has long been a favorite 

 pot plant for house and conservatory culture on ac- 

 count of its wonderful blooming qualities, flowering 

 nearly all the year through. These varieties are 

 great improvements, producing trusses of flowers 

 nearly double the size of the older type. Price, 

 $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100.

 ding. Very telling in any collection. $4.00 per 100.

GERANIUM, DOUBLE NEW LIFE. 



A novel and distinct variety divided into two parts ; the outer 

 florets, which are large, are of a brilliant red. In the centre of 

 these appears another semi-double pure white floret, effecting a 

 charming contrast difficult to realize unless seen, and having the 

 appearance of being produced artificially. $1.00 per doz.; ^8.00 

 per 100,
