Silver-Leaved Geranium, S- A. NUTT, 



This is unquestionably one of the most striking silver-leaved 

 Geraniums thus far originated. The foliage resembles the well- 

 known variety, Madame Salleroi, while in the habit and flower, 

 and freedom of bloom, it is almost an exact reproduction of 

 the well-known double crimson variety, S. A. Nutt. The ori- 

 ginator of this variety gives the parentage as S. A. Nutt and 

 Mme. Salleroi. It is a vigorous grower and free bloomer. The 

 trusses are of good size, held well above the foliage, and are 

 freely produced, The plant grows well outside and has proved 

 a first-class bedder with us the past season. (See cut.) Price, 

 SI. 50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



New Double Pink Bedding Geranium, HARRIET CLEARY. 



A very distinct and valuable new Geranium, whether con- 

 sidered from the standpoint of a pot plant or for growing in the 

 open ground. It is a medium-sized grower, very compact, 

 with fine large foliage. The flowers are a rich, deep, rosy 

 carmine-pink, the shade widely described as "warm," which, 

 although somewhat vasrue, is very expressive. Price, $1.50 per 

 doz., $10.00 per 100. 



New Scarlet Double Geranium,'* LE SOLEIL. 



(Awarded Gold-Medal^Pan-AmericanJExposition.) 



This we believe to be the best double scarlet bedding Gera- 

 nium thus far introduced. The flowers are produced in im- 

 mense trusses, which are held well up above the foliage. It is 

 a most profuse bloomer, standing the sun perfectly. It is a 

 healthy, vigorous grower. Price, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 



Double Pink Silver-Leaved, MRS. PARKER. 

 A very distinct and meritorious variety. It is a strong, 

 healthy, compact grower and a grand bedding variety, standing 

 the sun perfectly. The foliage is a deep, rich green, distinctly 

 variegated on the margin with clear white. The flowers are 

 freely produced, held well above the foliage, and are a deep, 

 clear pink. Price, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 



New SingleJAureole Geranium, DRYDEN. 5 ? 

 For outdoor bedding this is, beyond doubt, the finest "Aiireole" 

 yet offered; in fact, in the whole list there is not one which 

 excels it, everything considered. It is a particularly bright, 

 attractive sort. A bed of it at the Pan-American Exhibition 

 was'considered by many asTthe gem of the entire horticultural 

 display. It is a medium dwarf, very compact grower, excellent 

 foliage of a pleasing green. The flowers are pure white in the 

 centre, with a broad, distinct, flaming "aureole" of intensely 

 bright rosy red. When in bloom the plants are almost com- 

 pletely covered with flowers. Price, $1.00 p. doz.. $8.00 p. 100. 



Henderson's New, Flame-colored, 



Ever-blooming HONEYSUCKLE. 



(LONICERA HENDERSONI.) 



No instances of intentional hybrids between species or varie- 

 ties of the climbing Honeysuckles appear to be on record. Heck- 

 rott's Honeysuckle is considered to be a hybrid of natural or 

 garden origin, and some hybrids have been found between 

 various yellow-flowered American species. During the summer 

 of 1894 tbe raiser attempted to hybridize several of the more 

 common species together, but only secured a single fruit from 

 L. fuchsioides crossed with L. Sullivanti, a native yellow-flower- 

 ing species. The resulting plant, Lonicera Handersoni, produces 

 large clusters of yellow trumpet-shaped blooms, changing the 

 second day to orange-red on every young twig throughout the 

 entire growing season, thus becoming a true ever-bloomer. 

 Both colors, red and yellow, show clearly in each cluster as 

 long as it lasts. The plant is a healthy grower, with a tendency 

 to climb very high. It makes a good companion with the 

 Chinese Honeysuckle, on account of the great profusion of its bril- 

 liant flowers. 

 It is quite 

 sterile, prod- 

 ucing no ber- 

 ries, which 

 probably ac- 

 counts for 

 its constant- 

 blooming 

 character. 

 The clusters 

 are larger 

 and longer 

 than the or- 

 dinary Ho- 

 neysuckle 

 are borne on 

 longer stalks 

 hold better, 

 and conse- 

 quently are 

 valuable for 

 cut flowers.
