G^HY^Rm Geraniums 



A strain of seed saved from grand new Hybrids all greatly enlarged and im- 

 proved. The flowers are extra large, round, of the most perfect forms, borne on 

 splendid trusses, some of them forming balls 16 inches in circumference. The colors 

 include shades of scarlet and crimson, rose, pink, salmon, cream veined pink, blush, 

 snowy-white and all of the new auriole types with lovely rings and large white eyes 

 as well as the new Bird's-egg or spotted type. These all stand the hot sun, and, 

 although perennials, they will produce nice bushy plants and flowers from seeds 

 sown the same season. The gorgeous flowers, borne continuously, render these 

 most popular plants for pot culture in winter or for bedding out in summer. 12 to 

 18 inches high.

 "My Seedling Geraniums — Giants of California — are a revelation to all who see 

 them: they never knew that geranium seeds were capable of doing so well in one season."

Impatiens HolstiL 



A new and handsome plant from East Africa. It 

 forms bushes 1A to 2 feet high and resembles in habit, 

 foliage and shape of flowers the popular Impatiens Sul- 

 lanii, but surpassing the latter by far by its quicker and 

 more vigorous growth and its much larger flowers and the 

 greater quantity produced. The flowers, 1} to 11 

 inches across, are of brilliant vermilion, a gorgeous coloring 

 contrasting beautifully to the dark green foliage. In a 

 half-shady situation the plants grow luxuriantly out-of- 

 doors and form effective and unusually showy flower beds 

 by their great abundance of bloom. If grown in pots it 

 will be a first-class plant. Sown on heat in March the seed- 

 lings may be planted out end of May and will be continuously 

 in bloom from June until the frost destroys them. .Pkt. 25c
