DKEEK'S DESCEIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS, ETC. 



fiOOSlt Z01M1E GERANIUMS* 



We offer the following Select List of this new and popular section of Zonale Geraniums ; 

 they have been selected with great care, out of a large collection, for their free habit of 

 blooming. The double varieties are useful in many ways where the single kinds are almost 

 unserviceable, as the blossoms do not shed their petals so soon, hence they last in flower 

 a long time.
