Pi GENISTA 

 ^ ELDORADO 



(Shower of Gold'. 



A remarkably pretty Genista, 

 especially adapted for \vinter 

 or early spring blooming. The 

 flowers are bright yellow and 

 pea-shaped, borne in long ra- 

 cemes and in siichnumbers as to 

 entirely cover the plant and 

 make a veritable "Shower of 

 Gold." It is easy of cultivation, and 

 will bloom in almost any window, 

 or it makes a fine bedding plant.

GERANIUM. 



Seedling Geraniums almost always 

 give some new varieties, and being 

 easy to cultivate they are an interest- 

 ing plant to grow from seed. 'M.j mix- 

 ture includes a splendid strain of 

 new Zonale varieties, scarlet, pink 

 and white, and the much prized Lady 

 Washington and Apple-Scented Gera- 

 niums. The latter, a great favorite, 

 is dehciously fragrant, and can be 

 gro-vsTi only from seed to obtain the 

 finest plants. Choicest mixed. Pkt.,

ORNAMENTAL 



GOURDS. 



Tender trailing or 

 chmbing annuals, 

 bearing curiously- 

 shaped fruit, still 

 more curiously mark- 

 ed and striped. If 

 you have an odd corn- 

 er or an old brush 

 heap, trail the gourd 

 vine over it. Its fruit 

 has many uses, but if 

 for no other purpose 

 raise it for the little 

 ones. They much en- 

 joy the gaily striped 

 egg or dip per- like 

 shapes. Mixed. Pkt., 

 " seeds, 4 cts. 



GILIA. 



_ Like so many 



others of our choice 

 annuals, the Gilia comes 

 from California. It grows 

 about a foot high, has 

 graceful, finely-cut foli- 

 age, which serves nicely 

 for a decoration of green, 

 and dainty flowers in 

 rose,blue or white. Mixed.

GLADIOLUS LEMOINEI. 



It is interesting to raise Gladioli from 

 seed and not much work, as they should 

 be so^vn out of doors. They do not bloom 

 imtil the second or third year, but they 

 may be sown in some out of the way place 

 while coming to matui'ity, and for one 

 who has the patience and true flower in- 

 stinct it will be a great cleMght to see the 

 endless variety of colors and fantastic 

 markings that come from the ^seedlings, 

 scarcely any two being alike. No finer va- 

 rieties "are offered than the Lemoinei, and 

 they bloom two weeks earlier than others.
