The Geranium has been well called the "Queen of Bedders," since it is the most popular of aU beddmg 

 plants. Their astonishing profusion of bloom, large handsome flowers and remarkable ease of culture have 

 made them leaders among this class of plants. For producing a continuoiis, unfaihng blaze of color throughout 

 the season, on all locations and under all circumstances, they are unequalled. The immense size ot flower heads 

 and the superb colors of the newer varieties are simply amazing to those who know only the older sor.s. 



The following list has been carefully selected and is the cream of the existing varieties. My plants are well 

 grown, without crowding, are in perfect health and condition and my stock is very large, consisting ot nearly 

 a hundred thousand plants. When desired. I shall be pleased to select varieties for my patrons, m which case 

 please state colors and say whether wanted for bedding or pot culture. Please write for special prices on 

 large lots.
