XE^W DOUBLE IVHITE 



IVY GERANIUM, 



''Joan of Arc." "This is one of the 

 most beautiful plants that it has ever 

 been our privilege to offer. The flowers 

 are perfectly double, white as snow, and 

 literally cover the plant when in full 

 bloom. The foUage is extremely hand- 

 some, the dense, glossy green leaves 

 making a most effective background for 

 the great clusters of snow white flowers. " 

 This was our description of last year, 

 and another season's trial makes us 

 heartily endorse it. (See cut.) 



40 cts. each ; 3 for Sl.OO ; 12 for $3.00. 



NEW DOUBLE IVY QKl^ANIUM, ".iOAN OF ABC. 



DOUBLE GERAIMUMS. 



(Newer and Scarcer Sorts.) 



Golden Dawn. In this variety we have combined all the qjualities 

 tliat enter into a Geranium of the first order. Jt is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, profuse bloomer, finely formed trusses of the 

 largest size, borne well above a luxuriant foliage. In color it 

 stands unequaled, being an intense yellowish orange scarlet, 

 though by no means j-ellow, yet the nearest approach to be found 

 in the Geranium. {See cut, figure 1.) 50c. each; $4.50 per doz. 



■White Swan (La Cygne). The flowers are clear white in color, 

 never being tinged with pink either when grown in the house 

 or planted out-doors. The individual florets are entirely 

 double, resembling in miniature a double white Balsam flower. 

 {See cut, figure 2.) Price, 30 cts. each ; 4 for Sl.OO ; 12 for $2.25. 



Striped Vesuvius. This variety, although not new, is com- 

 paratively scarce, and when better known will be more appre- 

 ciated, as its bright scarlet flowers striped with clear white give 

 it a unique and interesting appearance. We will add, however, 

 that like all plants bearing pai-ti-colored flowers, it is liable 

 to an occasional loss of either color, sometimes having striped 

 and plain flowers on the same plant. {See cut, figure 3.) Price, 

 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per dozen. 

 Set of 3 splendid varieties shown in cut, $1.00; 2 sets for $1.75; 



4 sets for $3.00 ; 7 sets for $5.00.
