G^hyST 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.

" " Cyclope or Auriole. A new French race — re-

 brilliant contrasting color, including new tints of red, violet and pink. The 

 flowers, of largest size, are borne in big umbels and very freely. (See cut.) Pkt..2oc. 

 "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."

Giant-Flowering Heliotrope* 



The heads of blossoms of this new type often measure a foot 

 across; the individual florets are also very large, and their de- 

 licious perfume is just as enchanting as in the old, small-flower- 

 ing types. The plants, 18 inches high, are healthy, bushy and 

 compact; the leaves are large and luxuriant. Seed sown in the 

 spring produces full-grown, profuse-flowering plants by July, 

 which flower in the garden until cut down by frost or are 

 grown in pots for winter flowers. (See cut.)

Impatiens Holstii Hybrids 



Handsome plants from East Africa, forming bushes 

 li to 2 feet high and resembling in habit, foliage and 

 shape of flowers the popular Impatiens Sultanii, 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 If 

 inches across, are of red, violet, pink and white with a 

 red eye. 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 seedlings may 

 be planted out end of May and will be continuously in 

 bloom from June until the frost destroys them.
