J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



praise we can give it as a bedder. We 

 predict that this variety will become as 

 popular as A. Ricard, and is a distinct 

 and lovely color, besides blooming freely 

 in winter. Fine for pots; 25c. each. 



Richelieu — Large trusses formed of 

 very large semi-double florets, crimson 

 scarlet, with shadings of fiery scarlet. 



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. 



Le Soleil — Very brilliant scarlet, floret, 

 very large and showy; trusses immense; 

 a splendid bedder; stands the sun excep- 

 tionally well; 25c. each. 



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 a parallel among out- 

 door 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, 

 and one of the best by this raiser. 



Mrs. E. G. Hill— Single. Floret, 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. 



M. Canovas — Immense trusses of very 

 dark, velvety scarlet, with dark crimson 

 shadings. Flowers large, on rigid stems. 

 A fine, free grower, and free in bloom. 



Kleber — Deep violet, of velvety texture. 

 Form of floret very fine. A free grower 

 and very free in bloom. Flowers held 

 well above the foliage; 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 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. 



Michel Crosby — The largest of single 

 scarlet. Enormous trusses; robust grower. 



Double Gen. Grant — Semi-double, clear 

 orange scarlet. An old, well-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. 



J. J. Harrison — Rich, brilliant scarlet of 

 the Bruant. Immense flowers, many 

 measuring over 2 inches in diameter. 



Charles Gervais — The best double rose 

 pink in the market. 



Francis Perkins — In our estimation this 

 is one of the best double pink bedding 

 Geraniums. The plant is an extra strong, 



Lawn Sprinklers, a Complete Line.
