GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES.

Mme. Landry — ^^Double. One of the 

 choicest and most beautiful of Bruants. 

 Very free and constant in bloom through- 

 out the season. Trusses large and florets 

 of the finest size and circular in form. 

 Color, clear salmon, center shading to 

 copper, with a white eye. Very distinct, 



Mrs. E. G. Hill— Single. Floret, 21/2 x 

 2 inches. The center of each petal is a 

 soft, light, salmon, bordered with rosy 

 salmon and veined deep rose. Frequently 

 throws six petals. 



Jacquerie — One of the largest of florets, 

 longer than wide; very velvety in texture, 

 and a magnificent shade of very dark 

 crimson scarlet. One of the finest of 

 single geraniums; always in heavy de- 

 mand; 25c. each. 



La Favorite — Still a standard sort 

 among double whites. 



Mme. Charlotte — Distinct pure salmon, 

 occasionally veined with white. Semi- 

 double Bruant. A decided improvement 

 on Beaute Poitevine, both in color and 

 growth. 



M. A. Ricard — Clear orange red; Bru- 

 ant type. Free flowering. Dwarf, sturdy 

 habit. As a bedder it is unsurpassed. 



Jean Viaud — Semi-double Bruant. Col- 

 or, a beautiful shade of bright rose which 

 does not fade in the hottest weather. 

 Extra strong grower. The best pink 

 bedder. 



John Doyle — ^A very free, semi-double, 

 bright scarlet. Dwarf, robust growler. 

 As a pot plant it ranks as one of the best. 



Mme. Buchner — Double white. More 

 vigorous constitution than La Favorite. 



Secretair de Chatenay — The darkest 

 red in the market, dv/arf grower. 



Double Gen. Grant — Semi-double, clear 

 orange scarlet. An old, w^ell-known vari- 

 ety, probably more used for bedding than 

 any other variety in commerce. 



Due De Montemort — Deep brilliant car- 

 mine-purple, one of the most novel and 

 striking shades yet seen; a profuse 

 bloomer; foliage deeply zoned. Excep- 

 tionally novel. 



Francis Perkins — In our estimation this 

 is one of the best double pink bedding 

 Geraniums. The plant is an extra strong, 

 vigorous grower, throwing out tall spikes 

 of well formed flowers of a bright pink 

 color. For massing there is no pink vari- 

 ety that equals it. 



Grand New Single Germanium, "Tele- 

 graph." — ^The most distinct introduction 

 in this line for many years; a variety 

 that has been thoroughly tested and 

 which is certain to be classed at once 

 with the very best standard sorts either 



as a pot plant or for bedding. It is a 

 strong robast grower with dark green 

 foliage and heavy zone while both the 

 individual flowers and the trusses are 

 of mammoth size, in color it is a most 

 pleasing rich deep orange cerise; 25c. 



Bruanti — Clear orange scarlet. A very 

 good bedder. 



Prices, 10c. each, $1.00 per dozen; 15c. 

 each, $1.50 per dozen; except where 

 noted. 



Ivy Geranimus — A good collection. 

 Prices, 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen, and 

 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen. 



Geranium Pelargonium. (Lady Wash- 

 ingtons). We have a good collection of 

 these fine pet plants in fine variety; 25 

 and 50 cents. 



Scented Geraniums — Rose, everybody 

 likes it. Nutmeg and Apple scented. 10c. 

 each, $1.00 per dozen; 15c. each $1.50 per 

 dozen. 



Heliotrope. Light and dark. Of these 

 popular fragrant blossoms, we have 

 selected those which are most adaptable 

 to our Southern climate, size of flower, 

 color and fragrance our standpoint in 

 selection. Price, lOc. and 15c. each. 



Hydrangea. Beautiful blooming plant, 

 adapted rather to shady location. The 

 large clusters of flowers resemble the 

 snow ball, only being much larger. 



Otaksa — A very beautiful variety from 

 Japan, giving large clusters of bluish 

 pink flowers in great abundance through 

 the season; the flow^ers are very persist- 

 ent, lasting two or three months. 



Thomas Hogg — This is the finest of all 

 Hydrangeas. It is a more free and abun- 

 dant bloomer than any other; for the 

 florists and all decorative purposes it 

 will be invaluable. The flowers are all 

 the purest white, of very fine texture, and 

 continue to flower for a great length of 

 time; quite hardy in open ground. 



Monstrosa — Pinkish white, the largest 

 fiow^er of all. Grand. 



Prices, 35c., 50c. and $1.00 each. 



Hibiscus Sinensis. This plant rivals 

 the geranium in popularity. A very good 

 way to make them bloom freely and 

 facilitate the lifting in fall is to trans- 

 plant each plant into a pot two or three 

 sizes larger than the one it has grown in, 

 then plunge the pot altogether into the 

 ground, the soil to cover over the surface 

 two inches. Then in the fall the plant 

 can be lifted without injury, and being 

 transplanted again, and kept in a shady, 

 cool place until fully recovered, it will, in 

 a warm sunny window, in a warm room, 

 bloom constantly. We can supply them
