PHENOMENAL AND MATCHLESS BARGAINS. 



BEAUTIFUL Nothing adds more to the attractiveness of the 

 home than a few choice plants, and no class of 

 HOMES. plants g-ive more bloom for the care bestowed 



upon them than the Geraniums. For winter 

 blooming, plants should be grown in pots all summer, and the buds 

 picked off as they appear until September. Regardless of temper- 

 ature Geraniums are always growing, always green, and crowned 

 with flowers the year around. 



The "Wonder— This Geranium, recently from France, has no 

 superior, and scarcely an equal, in the entire Geranium family. 

 Being so intense in color, such a wonderful bloomer and strong 

 grower, it has been the wonder and admiration of every 

 beholder; hence, named The Wonder. The flowers are the most 

 intense, dazzling scarlet, and are borne in trusses of enormous 

 size, measuring from 18 to 20 inches in circumference, with sin- 

 gle florets measuring 7 inches in circumference. The fol- 

 iage is fine and rich in color, and in striking contrast to the 

 brilliant scarlet flowers. As a pot plant, or a bedding Geranium 

 it has no equal. 



3Iadonna— An exceedingly pretty and dainty variety of fine 

 habit. Flowers are of a lovely pale pink color delicately pen- 

 ciled with a deeper shade. Florets are unusually large and the 

 trusses are of immense size. As a single pot plant this is 

 especially desirable, both on account of its free blooming habit 

 and delicate coloring of the flowers. One of the most pleasing 

 varieties. 



Souvenir de Mirande— Another fancy Geranium with exquis- 

 itely beautiful flowers. A wonderfully free bloomer, with thick 

 round petaled flowers. Each floret has a large creamy white 

 center. The groundwork of the upper petals is also white edged 

 with soft rose. Lower petals a soft but bright salmon rose with 

 lighter shadings. A remarkable Geranium in every respect. 



Marguerite de Layre— Undoubtedly the finest single white 

 Geranium in existence, resembling a huge snow ball. Unsur- 

 passed, both for pot culture and for bedding. Flowers are of 

 the purest white color, even in the dryest weather. Trusses 

 and flowers arc of enormous size, borne erect, high above its 

 beautiful foliage. An unequalled white in every respect. 



Athlete— A grand variety. Flowers large and round, often more 

 than inches in diameter, color the most brilliant of all scai-- 

 lets, shading a trifle lighter toward the center. Trusses are of 

 enonnous size, home high and erect. A magnificent Geranium, 

 and one that is equally fine for bedding and for market purposes. 



Fred Kanst— Oneof the grandest of all scarlet bedders. Stands 

 the heat and drought finely, being one continuous mass of bloom. 

 Color, very bright glowing red, with distinct beautiful eye. 

 Trusses large and foot stalks very long. Foliage beautiful and 

 healthy. A grand variety in every respect. 



Mrs. A. Blanc — This is the best bedder in the single salmon 

 section and entirely distinct in color from all others. It bears 

 immense trusses of the largest flowers, reddish apricot, veined 

 darker with beautiful rose center. Floi'ets large and pez'fectly 

 round. A grower and bloomer of the greatest freedom. 



Dayhreak — This- variety possesses an entirely new color in single 

 Geraniums, being a beautiful bright flesh, (not lilac) delicately 

 penciled in white. Large, well formed trusses and finely formed 

 florets. Plant is of the finest habit in every respect. Where 

 one admires delicate soft coloring you will find it in the highest 

 sense in this lovely Geranium. Truly an exquisite variety and 

 sure to please you' 



Benjamin Constant — Oneof the most brilliant and showy of all 

 the single Geraniums, and unequalled for massing in a bed by 

 itself. The florets are of unusual lai'ge size, and perfectly 

 round. The trusses are enormous. The color is a rich deep red, 

 very evenly shaded, and velvety. Of fine habits, a profuse 

 bloomer, and bound to win attention everywhere. 



Docteur Clenet — Oneof the finest single scarlet Geraniums in 



— cultivation, especially valuable for bedding. A prodigious ' 



^grower and free bloomer, being one continual mass of 

 showy blossoms all summer long. Foliage bright and 



— beautiful, colorof flowers brilliant scarlet, shaded orange. 

 A grand variety in every respect. 



Gertrude— Color of the flower a clear, bright salmon, with cen- 

 ter and outer edges touched with white, and with soft shadings 

 of carmine, velvety in texture, and of the most beautiful semi- 

 double form. A fine bedder. Distinct in coloring from every 

 other variety, this Geranium is especially desirable for pot cul- 

 ture, as it is more dainty and more of a study in shading than 

 any other, although it does equally as well as a" bedding variety. 



Aurelien Scholl — A striking and distinct single variety. Cen- 

 ter of florets rosy violet, . outer edge rosy pink, mottled and 

 shaded with white. A vigorous grower and remarkably free 

 bloomer, it is a desirable variety to possess, and sure to cause 

 admiration and wonder wherever exhibited.
