UNIQUE AND SHOW GERANIUMS. 



Copernic. Single. Bright rosy-peach shading to 

 light pink edged with white and a distinct eye. The 

 petals are distinctly veined carmine and are silvery 

 rose upon the reverse side. Florets large, perfectly 



round in large flat 

 trusses ; very 

 dwarf, a constant 

 and free bloomer. 

 A wonderfully 

 showy and attract- 

 ive variety.

 are bright red 

 with semi-double 

 florets in the cen- 

 tre of pure white ; 

 presenting a

DOUBLE NEW LIFE. tvation. 



IMars. Single. A Lilliputian variety, valuable 

 alike for bedding and pot culture. Flowers clear light 

 salmon, deepening in the centre. Plaut but 4 to 6 

 inches high, and constantly covei^ed ivith flowers. Es- 

 pecially valuable for a border to beds of taller grow- 

 ing varieties, and when planted in mass presents a 

 solid blanket of pleasing, cheerful color throughout 

 the season. By far the most profuse bloomer in 

 Geraniums I have ever grown. See illustration. 

 Single New Life. Flowers of medium size, round 



petals of brilliant 

 red striped with 

 white; very hand- 

 some and odd ; plant 

 a robust grower

RuyBtas. Double. 

 Bright salmon cen- 

 tre and rosy peach 

 border; exceeding- 

 ly rich and charm- 

 ing in color. Im- 

 mense trusses of 

 large florets. Very 

 valuable as a pot 

 plant, but does not 

 succeed well in the 

 open ground. 



William Pfitzner. Peculiar and distinct in color and 

 wonderfully attractive, being bright apricot with the 

 petals edged with white. Large truss and flower, pro- 

 fuse bloomer; valuable as a bedder or pot plant.. 



FANCY-F-,EAYED GERANIUMS, 



SINGLE NEW LIFE. 



BRIDEGROOM. 



MAD. SALLEROI. 



Wad. Salleroi. Bright green foliage edged with 

 white. The leaves are small and produced in a dense 

 mass. Excellent for borders. A beautiful compact 

 plant. The value of this variety is not duly appre- 

 ciated in America as it is in Europe. Its foliage is so 

 neat, pretty and dense and it stands the sun so well 

 there are few plants that equal it in forming a border 

 — especially for beds of Zonale Geraniums. See illus- 

 trntion. Ea., 6c; doz., 60c; lUO, 13.50. 



IMountain of Snow. Very ornamental, bright green 

 foliage with broad silvei-y white margin; flowers bright 

 scarlet, held well above the foliage; compact, strong 

 growing habit. Fine for pot culture or bed^ 

 ding, and exceed- 

 ingly desirable and 

 suitable for border- 

 ing or for other fol- 

 iage effect. Ea., 

 10c; doz., $1.00; 

 100, $6.00. 



IMrs. Parker. An 

 improvement upon 

 the above, having 

 double, bright pink 

 flowers in large 

 trusses. The foli- 

 age is identical, 

 both in form and 

 variegation, with 

 Mountain of Snow. 

 A compact, strong 

 grower. Ea., 15c; 

 doz., $1.50.

 spreading habit.

 flushed with rosy-pink.

 RepardiDf? plants and shiubs bought of >ou would say they 

 have turned out true to name and very satisfactory In evei y 

 instance. On some kinds your prices »rrt a lliile hiirher than 

 some others, but my experience of sixteen years in this place 

 with plants and bushes has convinced me that I can always 

 depend upon stock from you, and so inform my neighbors.
