OERANIl M (Pelai-goiiium.) 



Perhaps the Nest reference we can make to what is to-day 

 the most desirable plant for out-door cultivation — the Zo- 

 nale Oeranium— is to call attention to the colored plale in 

 the P^ant portion of our catalogue for isso, which faithfully 

 illustrates a few of the newer types of the Zonale section. 

 Its numberless varieties, simple ( iilturo, the iiiimunity it 

 enjoys from insects and disease, and its great free-liloom- 

 ing qualities, have placed it so high in general estima- 

 tion, that it is rapidly superseding the S'erbena, hitherto 

 the most popular bedding plant gr wii. 1 to 2 ft.
