New Bedding 



Geranium 



General Funston Geranium American Beauty 



A beautiful semi-double sport of the well known bedding Geranium 

 Double Gen. Grant. In general habit and foliage it resembles the 

 parent variety. The color is a deep salmon throughout the flower and 

 a shade that does not conflict with any of the salmon varieties now on the 

 market. In our grounds the past season it has proved itself one of the best 

 bedding varieties we have ever grown, flowering freely and continuously 

 from early in the season until frost. (5ee engraving.) 



The cut above shows a bed of this variety edged with Alternanthera Jewell 

 (see page 175) planted by us in the Convention Garden at Boston, Mass., 

 which received Honorable Mention.

"/ have sent you three orders within the last month and they were filled the most 

 promptly and the most satisfactorily of any firm I have ever dealt with. The 

 Geranium plants that I received were fine." MISS NETTIE HOOD, 



Wallington, N. Y. 



This variety was named American Beauty by the introducer because the 

 color is almost identically the color of the popular rose of that name. The 

 beautiful semi-double flowers are deep rosy-carmine, shaded with carmine- 

 crimson. They are not effected by extremes of weather. The habit is perfect; 

 semi-dwarf branching and compact; the trusses are produced on long stems 

 held well above the foliage.
