GIANTFLOWERING 



HYBRID GERANIUM. 



A strain of seed saved from grand new Hybrids all greatly enlarged and 

 improved. The flowers are extra large, round, of the most perfect forms, 

 borne in splendid trusses, some of them forming balls 16 inches in circum- 

 ference. The colors include shades of scarlet and crimson, rose, pink, salmon, 

 cream veined pink, blush, snowy-white and all of the new auriole types. These 

 all stand the hot sun, and, although perennials, they will produce nice bushy 

 plants and flower from seeds sown the same season. The gorgeous flowers, 

 borne continuously, render these most popular plants for pot culture in winter 

 or for bedding out in summer. 12 to 18 inches high.
