New Bedding Ger anium Q enera [ FuflStOn. 



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. 



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

 (see page 173) planted by us in the Convention Garden at Boston, Mass., 

 last year which received Honorable Mention.
