New Geraniums for 1905. 



Acrain we offer a set of caiefully-selected novelties, ihe cream of re- 

 cent introductions, and while we do not claim that all of these varieties 

 will succeed as bedding plants in our trying climate, yet they will please 

 the most critical when grown for the conservatory or window garden 

 for decoration, for which purpose the Geranium must still be considered 

 as the most sati'^factory of all flowering plants.

LATA Fl. Pi- 



New Geranium " Telegraph." 



GRAND NEW 



SINGEE GERANIUM 



" TEEEGRAPH." 



The mo-t distinct iniroduction in this 

 line for many years ; it has been thor- 

 oughly tested for four years by the origin- 

 ator, and it is likely to become a stand- 

 ard both for bedding and for winter flow- 

 ering in the window garden or consen'a- 

 tory. It is a strong,' robust grower, with 

 dark green foliage, and both truss and 

 flower of mammoth size, of a most pleas- 

 ing rich, deep orange cerise. 35 cts. 

 each; $3.50 per doz. 



GYPSOPHIEA 

 PANICrEATA FE. PE. 



(Double-Floweiing Baby's Breath.) 



This is probably the most important 

 addition to our list of hardy plants this 

 season. The single-flowered form has 

 always been a favorite, its misty bloom 

 being indispensable in a naturally ar- 

 ranged bunch of flowers. Add to this 

 the pretty little double rosette-like flow- 

 ers of this new form, which are produced 

 gh, and we have a plant not only valuable 

 to the hardy border. 75 cts. each; §7.50 



Heliopsis Pitcherianus Semi-Plkntjs. 



in much-branched panicles 3 to 3J feet hi 

 for cutting, but a most desirable addition 



]icr. iloz. 



HEEENItJM GRANDICEPHAEEM CEPREEM. 



(Xew Copper-colored Sneezewort.) 



Nearly all varieties of this hardy perennial being yellow, a deviation in color at 

 once attracts attention. We were much pleased with this new variety the past sum- 

 mer, which produces copperj'-red flowers about 2 inches in diameter, a shade at once 

 rich and pleasing. The flowers are freely and continuously borne from June till 

 the end of September. A distinct novelty for the hardy border. 35 cts. each; 

 $3 50 per doz. 



HEEIOPSIS PITCHERIANUS SEMI-PEENUS. 



Identical ia habit of growth to its parent. I/. Pitcherianus, but with semi-double 

 flowers of a deep orange-yellow. Perfectly hardy and flowers all summer. (See 

 cut.) 25 cts. each-; §2.50 per doz. 



THREE FINE HYBRID DEEPHINIUMS. 



Belladonna. A very free-flowering variety, being constantly in bloom ; color a. 



beautiful celestial blue ; charming. 35 cts. each ; §3.50 per doz. 

 Frau Emma Metzger. A beautiful double; color azure blue, 'passing to silvery 



rose at the centre; white eye. 50 cts.Jeach; §5. 00 per doz.
