Winter-bloornsng Geraniums. 



It is hard to find a class of plants that will compare with 

 Geraniums in ease of culture indoors and freedom and cer- 

 tainty of bloom. The varieties offered below are the choicest 

 and most distinct sorts, selected especially for their adapt- 

 ability to house culture. The plants are stocky, strongly 

 rooted and are growing in three-inch pots. If you want a 

 plant that can be depended upon to produce flowers and 

 plenty of them throughout the entire Winter a Geranium 

 will meet your requirements. Without them a collection of 

 house plants is incomplete. 



Benjamin Schroder. — Flowers large, of soft rosy pink 

 color, with distinct white blotch on the tipper petals ; of 

 satiny texture ; strong grower and free bloomer. 



Bill Nye. — (See cut.) One of the finest for pot culture ; 

 color peach shading to pale salmon; flower of fine size and 

 form ; a splendid grower, of nice, compact habit. This is a 

 splendid variety, sure to please. Blooms almost all the time. 



Fred. Kaust. — Positively one of the grandest of all 

 scarlet varieties. An unusually free bloomer, producing 

 truss after truss of bright, cheery flowers on long stiff steins. 

 We are of the opinion this is the best all-around Geranium 

 we have ever seen. 



Gettysburg. — Bright crimson maroon, of beautiful shade; 

 flower very large and of fine form ; an extra beautiful dark 

 variety. 



John Good. — A new sort of sterling merit. Truss of 

 enormous size, quite globular in form ; stem long and rigid. 

 An improvement over anything yet seen of its color ; clear 

 salmon, lightly edged with white. Fine for indoor culture 

 owing to its freedom of bloom. 



L. Swartling 1 . — Centre of the floret is scarlet flame, 

 shading out to salmon ; floret large and truss immense ; a 

 fine grower; very distinct. 



Marie Stuart.— Soft rosy scarlet, with large white eye; 

 very large circular florets, forming a truss of fine size ; strong 

 grower and a good bloomer. 



Mad. Salleroi. — One of the most beautiful and unique 

 of all Geraniums; a thrifty, healthy grower, rarely reachinga 

 height of more than six inches ; leaves very small, of a pecu- 

 liar clear green, edged with pure white. 



Spotted Beauty. — A fine advance over Spotted Gem. 

 The color is soft rosy lavender, and is heavily dotted about 

 the centre with points of bright crimson. The floret is quite 

 circular, with petals overlapping, and is of fine size. An ex- 

 tremely fine fancy sort. 



Rose Scented. — Difficult to obtain, but exceedingly 

 popular. A plant of this variety indoors is always noticeable 

 by the delicate, refined rose scent which characterizes the 

 foliage.

FOR HOUSE CULTURE. 



Large Plants by Mail and Express. 



As the popular Autumn flower Chrysanthemum still con- 

 tinues to find favor with flower lovers everywhere ; their ex- 

 treme beauty of form and diversity of color, together with 

 their immunity from insects and ease of culture place them in 

 the front rank for home adornment. The varieties we offer 

 are the most distinct up to the present time. The plants are 

 extremely fine and healthy, and are now growing in three- 

 inch pots. Owing to their largeness of size more than three 

 plants cannot be sent by mail, but must go by Express at 

 purchaser's expense. This method of transportation will 

 give the best satisfaction to our customers. Under ordinary 

 treatment they will be in full bloom for the holidays. 



Ready for shipment about Oct. 20. All orders 

 will be filled promptly.

 stems stiff; flowers large and of the heaviest substance ; one 

 of the grandest. 



Michigan. — Remarkable for the number of floweret pro- 

 duces; double, large, blooms nearly all the time; perhaps 

 the most satisfactory for window culture.
