 form, composed of flowers entirely distinct from any 

 other. The edge of each petal is carmine-lake, the 

 centre washed in tints of rose and bluish heliotrope — 

 the upper petals being veined carmine and marked 

 with orange at base. A beautiful variety and one of 

 the most valuable of the newer Geraniums. Ea., 15c; 

 doz., $1.50.

 footstalks; flowers intense purplish-crimson with white 

 centre shading into the darker color; very free bloomer.

 ets of snowy white, retaining their purity of color 

 throughout the season: strong grower end free. 



Lysiane. Double. Large truss and flowers; bright 

 salmon-rose bordered with white; short jointed, very 

 free bloomer. An extra fine sort. 



Mad. de La Croix. Single. Bright clear salmon.

 compact, vigorous, clean and remarkably profuse. A 

 superb bedder and an improvement upon Mad. Chas. 

 Molin. Ea., 15c; doz., $1.50. 



Mad. Hoste. Single. Rich crimson-lake at the edge 

 of petal shading to rosy carmine towards the centre

BEST TWELVE SINGLE. 



GEN. GRANT (true). Vivid, brilliant scarlet Strong 

 grower, a constant and free bloomer. Still very popu- 

 lar for producing a brilliant mass of color.

 strong grower and free bloomer. A superb variety. 



MAD. BRUANT. Single. Entirely distinct from all 

 others. The florets are large; white veined with car- 

 mine-lake, evenly bordered with bright solferino. The 

 arrangement of color is most unique and refreshing.

 of vigorous habit. Valuable as a bedder, but especially 

 so as a pot plant; selling at first sight. (See illustration). 



MAD. CHAS. MOLIN. Bright light salmon-pink.

 darker toward centre. Truss full and well formed,

 inches across and often six petaled. Wonderfully free 

 in bloom and a grand sort. 



MRS. J. M. GAAR. Snow-white, very dwarf, with 

 clean though rather small foliage. Stands the sun per- 

 fectly, is the best white bedder and perhaps the most 

 profuse bloomer in existence, being covered throughout 

 the summer with a bank of bloom. Very valuable. 



M. Poinier. Single. Bright cherry, with a dash of 

 pure white, veined with carmine upon upper petals. 

 Florets of good size, round, in trusses of good form and 

 size. Dwarf habit and a free bloomer. Very unique

 mon, deepening in the centre. Plant but 4 to 6 inches

BEST TWELVE DOUBLE. 



BEAUTE PONTEVINE. Semi-double. Pure, clear, 

 bright salmon. Of dwarf habit and exceedingly free 

 blooming. Conceded to be the best semi-double variety 

 of its color for bedding or for sale in pots. Superb. 



Bishop Wood. Cherry-red, dwarf, vigorous, free 

 bloomer, valuable. 



Black Knight. Very dark crimson; good truss, dwarf 

 habit, free bloomer. Much like Grand Chancellor. 



BONNAT. Brilliant carmine-pink. Large and finely 

 formed flower in a full spherical truss. Of dwarf habit 

 and a free bloomer. One of the most beautiful in color 

 and one of the most valuable bedding geraniums. 



BRUANT. Semi-double, clear scarlet; large truss 

 and very free bloomer. Of dwarf habit and always 

 healthy. A most valuable sort. 



Comtesse de Harcourt. Double, snow white. Large, 

 beautifully formed florets in large trusses, so abun- 

 dantly produced as to form a snowbank. Stands the 

 sun perfectly and the flowers always remain pure 

 white. The finest double white variety yet produced. 



JOHN DOYLE. Semi-double, pure scarlet tinged with 

 lake; vigorous, semi-dwarf; wonderfully free and con- 

 stant in bloom, and the trusses are of good size and well 

 made up. A vast improvement upon Double Grant 

 and a very valuable variety. 



LA FAVORITE. Large full trusses constantly and 

 profusely produced and large, snowy-white flowers. Of 

 vigorous growth but compact habit and the freest in 

 bloom of all the well-known double white varieties. 

 Stands the sun perfectly and is very popular. 



Mad. Thebaut. Deep, dark rosj^-pink; dwarf and 

 compact. The best dwarf double dark pink bedder. 



Mrs. Frances E. Willard. Delicate blush-pink with 

 slightly darker shadings; large trusses on long foot 

 stalks; vigorous and free. 



PINK BEDDER. Semi-double. A welcome and very 

 valuable addition. It is of dwarf habit and in general 

 make-up similar to Double Grant or Bruant with 

 abundant foliage, that never burns and a most con- 

 stant and profuse bloomer. The florets are of good 

 size held in a moderately compact truss and are pure 

 clear bright pink at all times. It stands the sun per- 

 fectly and is by far the most valuable variety of its 

 color for bedding. The only reliable and satisfactory 

 variety of its color for bedding thus far fully tested. 



RUY BLAS. Bright salmon centre and rosy-peaeh 

 border; exceedingly rich and charming in color. Im- 

 mense trusses of large florets. Very valuable as a pot 

 plant, but does not succeed well in the open ground. 



Ea., 10c; doz., Sl.00; 100, €6.00. 



The set of one each of the 12 varieties for $1.00.
