ZONALE GERANIUMS— General Collection. 



So many improvements in this class of plants have been recently 

 made, that we believe the present revision of the list offers a collection 

 unsurpassed in this country — habit, color, growth, and all points duly 

 considered. 



^^^ To grow Geraniums, or in fact any other plant, it is essential to 

 their success to haAe a good fresh loamy soil ; no amount of manuring 

 will compensate for the lack of this requisite. Every cultivator should 

 have a compost heap made up oi. nods and well-rotted cow manure, with 

 which to renew the beds. See directions for Verbenas. The following 

 selection is grown in quantity for bedding. Price 20 cts. ; $2.00 per 

 dozen. Extra showy plants can be furnished after April 1st, in 4 and 5 

 inch pots. 30 cts. ; $3.00 per dozen.
