Geranium. 



Geraniums for Winter-flowering. 



While undoubtedly the most popular of bedding plants, Ger- 

 aniums deserve to be used more extensively for window and 

 conservatory decoration, no other plants excelling or even ap- 

 proaching them for brilliancy and richness of color. 



We have aimed to make the selection below combine in the 

 highest degree perfection of form and size of the individual 

 florets, size of truss, purity of color, habit of plant and general 

 excellence, and especially recommend them for the embellish- 

 ment of the conservatory and window garden.
