it. Stands the sun perfectly, and is always 
a mass of bloom. * 
ime. Jaulin.—Semi-double. Very large 
florets compose a truss of grand _ size;

bedding varieties, and is equally fine as a 
pot specimen,

Francis Perkins.—In our estimation this

aniums. 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 
variety that equals it. 
Grand Single Geranium, “Telegraph.”— 
The most distinet introduction in this line 
for many years; a variety that has been 
thoroughly tested and which is certain to 
be classed at once with the very best 
standard sorts, either as a pot plant or 
for bedding. It is a strong robust grower 
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.
