GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 99 
FICUS PANDURATA.—The new Rubber 
plant, quite distinct from the old variety. 
The leaves are very large and the mid- 
ribs are well defined; it is well suited for 
house decoration. We have a nice stock 
of this scarce plant at prices ranging from 
50e. to $5.00 each. 
FICUS BREPENS.—A plant 
pecially for covering the walls, pillars, 
etc., or outside decorations in the South, 
as it clings to stone or woodwork with the 
greatest tenacity. 15c. each; $1.50 per 
dozen. Stronger plants, 25c. each; $2.50 
per dozen. 
FUCEHSIA.—We have these in 
suited es- 
various 
colors, white, red, purple and intermediate 
shades. 
and 25c. 
A good collection. Prices, 15c. 
Geraniums. 
Alphonse Ricard.— A strong grower, 
dwarf and branching and producing flowers 
in great masses. Both floret and truss 
are of enormous size, single, or slightly 
doubled, and color a _ brilliant shade of 
orange red. 
Beaute Poitevine.— Semi-double. Enor- 
mous flowers, aurora pink, shading to 
bright salmon center. The grandest of all 
the light fancy Bruants. 
Marquis Castellane.—A shapely dwarf 
grower, with immense flowers about 2% 
inches in diameter. Two beautiful shades 
of red; petals undulating on the edges; 
very fine and distinct. This magnificent 
new red variety ranked as high as Viaud 
in the open ground, which is the highest 
praise we can give it as a bedder. We pre- 
dict that this variety will become as popu- 
lar 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 al- 
ways a mass of bloom. 
Mme. Jaulin.—Semi-double. Very large 
florets compose a truss of grand _ size; 
center, tender pink, surrounded by border 
of white. For freshness and beauty this 
color is without parallel among _ outdoor 
bedding varieties, and is equally fine as a 
pot specimen. 
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, 2%x2 
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 
erimson scarlet. One of the finest of 
single geraniums; always in heavy demand. 
La Favorite.—Still a standard 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. 
Jean Viaud.— Semi-double Bruant. 
Color, 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 grower. 
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, dwarf grower. 
Bouble Gen. Grant.—Semi-double, clear 
orange scarlet. An old, well-known vari- 
ety, probably more used for bedding than 
any other variety in commerce. 
Buc De Montemort.—Deep brilliant car- 
mine-purple, one of the most novel and 
striking shades yet seen; a profuse bloom- 
er; foliage deeply zoned. Exceptionally 
novel. 
Bichmond Beauty.—Brilliant scarlet 
crimson, with large white feather on the 
two upper petals; the finest bedder; single 
Geranium. 25c. 
Double Dryden.—A fancy variety with 
most beautiful arrangement of colors. 
Delicate pink, shading out to glowing 
erimson. 25c. 
Nuit Poitevine.— Rosy purple with 
marcon shading, lower petals clear, the 
upper scarlet at the base. 25c. each. 
Berthe de FPressilly. — Flowers large 
silvery rose color. Most beautiful shade. 
EKleber.—Deep violet of velvety texture; 
a free grower and very free in bloom. 265c.
