GERANIUM. The most P°P ular plant grown, either for 

 v * pot culture in w inter, or for bedding out in 



summer. No flowering- plants are more grown and certainly 

 none are more suitable for large beds, where a mass of bloom is 

 desired, or for single specimens in pots for the house. But few 

 are aware that they can be grown easily from seed and flower 

 the first season, if sown early, and will frequently reward the 

 cultivator with charming new varieties; in fact, piopogation by 

 seed is the only sure way to obtain new varieties. The seed I 

 offer this season has been saved from 25 of the finest varieties 

 grown, including Mad. Thebault, Mrs. Garfield, Gen. Grant, 

 Capt. Ainsworth, Little Gem, Cloth of Gold, Happy Thought, 

 Snow on Mountain, Adonis and Beaconslield ; al=o included in 

 this mixture are seven varieties of Pelargoniums, or Lady Wash- 

 ington ; and two Ivy-leaved varieties. There can be no finer 

 mixed Geranium, and it can not fail to bring forth some splendid 

 new varieties. Single and double mixed, pkt. 30 seeds, 10c.
