SPLENDID GERANIUMS FOR BEDDING 



Double New Life Geranium 



This is a remarkable novelty. Always 

 scarce and difficult to obtain. As shown 

 in the illustration, the florets are dark 

 red and in the center of each there ap- 

 pears a small pure white floret, giving 

 the flowers a novel and curious ap- 

 pearance. Very beautiful when 

 flowers are perfect, but variable 

 and best for house culture.
