J. STECKI-ER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AXD 



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 ^vhite eye Very distinct, 

 and one of the best by this raiser. 



Mrs. E. G. Hill— Single. Floret, 2l^ 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. 



Kleber — Deep violet, of velvety texture. 

 Form of fioret 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 besc. 



Mme. Buchner — Double white. More 

 vigorous constitution than La Favorite. 



Secretair de Chatenay — The darkest 

 red in the market, dwarf 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 profus^^ 

 bloomer; foliage deeply zoned. Excep- 

 tionally novel. 



Francis Perkins — In our estimation this 

 is one of the best double pink bedding 

 Geraniums. The plant is an extra strong, 

 vigorous grower, throwing out tall spikes 

 of well formed flowers of a bright pink 

 color. For massing there is no pink vari- 

 ety that equals it. 



Bruanti — Clear orange scarlet. A very 

 good bedder. Price, 10c. each; $1.00 per 

 dozen, except where noted. 



Ivy Geraniums — A good collection. 

 Prices, 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen, and 

 25c. each; $2.50 per dozen.

 ingtons). We have a good collection of 

 these fine pot plants in fine variety; 25 

 and 50 cents. 



GRAND NEW SINGLE GER- 

 ANIUM "TELEGRAPH" 



The most distinct introduction in this 

 line for many years; a variety that has 

 been thoroughly tested and which is cer- 

 tain to be classed at once with the very 

 best standard sorts either as a pot plant 

 or for bedding. 



It is a strong robust grov/er with dark 

 green foliage and heavy zone while both 

 the individual flowers and the trusses are, 

 of mammoth size, in color it is a most 

 pleasing rich deep orange cerise; 25c. 

 and 50c. each. 



Heliotrope. Light and dark. Of these 

 popular fragrant blossoms, we have 

 selected those which are most adaptable 

 to our Southern climate, size of flower, 

 color and fragrance our slandpoint in 

 selection. Price, 10c. each; $1.00 per 

 dozen. 



Hydrangeas. Beautiful blooming plant, 

 adapted rather to shady location. The 

 large clusters of flowers resemble the 

 snow ball, only being much larger. 



Otaksa — A very beautiful variety from 

 Japan, giving large clusters of bluish 

 pink flowers in great abundance through 

 the season; the flowers are very persist- 

 ent, lasting two or three months. 



Thomas Hogg — This is the finest of all 

 hydrangeas. It is a more free and abun- 

 dant bloomer than any other; for the 

 florists and all decorative purposes it 

 will be invaluable. The flowers are all 

 the purest white, of very fine texture, and 

 continue in flower for a great length of 

 time; quite hardy in open ground. 



Monstrosa — Pinkish white, the largest 

 flower of all. Grand.
