CRAINiUM 



Probably the Geranium is bet- 

 ter known and more univer- 

 sally admired than any other 

 . plant grown. The constant 



iPelargomum). succession and durability of 



bloom till frost comes, the brilliant color of its flowers and the 

 exquisite markings of the leaves of some of the varieties, 

 render them very desirable for pot culture and bedding. 

 No garden seems complete without a bed of them, and 

 in every collection of conservatory or parlor plants 

 we are sure to find the geranium. One-half hardy 

 perennial. Propagation by seed is the only way 

 to obtain new varieties.
