popular as A. Ricard, and is a distinct 
and lovely color, besides blooming freely 
in winter. 
S. A. Nutt—The very best of the dark 
crimson-scarlet bedders. Always in 
heavy demand. We have a very large 
stock of it. Stands the sun perfectly 
and is always a mass of bloom. 
Mme. Jaulin—Semi-double. Very large

mand; 25c. each. 
La Favorite—Still a

vigorous constitution than La Favorite.

ety, probably more used for bedding than 
any other variety in commerce.

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 Single Geranium, “Telegraph” 
—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 
robust 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. 
Bruanti—Clear orange scarlet. A very 
good bedder.
