NEW DWARF EVER-BLOOMING GERANIUM, MARS. 



New Dwarf Ever-blooming Geranium, 



The Freest Blooming of all Geraniums. 



This is an age of rapid progression. Floral novelties are 

 now of a startling and seemingly impossible character. They 

 embody the spirit of the times. This splendid new Geranium, 

 with its extraordinary merits, so far in advance of other Ger- 

 aniums, is a striking example of this. Mars is beyond ques- 

 tion the most remarkable Geranium ever offered. It ranks 

 above all others in habit of growth, color of flowers and free- 

 dom of bloom. The flowers are single, of a deep rose salmon, 

 which deepens at the centre, and as it extends toward the 

 edge of petals changes to pure white, producing a beautiful 

 and) almost indescribable effect. 



Mars is the dwarf est Geranium introduced to date. Foliage 

 dark green with brown zone. The freedom with which it pro- 

 duces flowers is simply astonishing. A $-inch pot plant will 

 frequently produce as many as 50 to 60 flower stems, that hold 

 the bloom-heads well above the foliage. This wonderful free- 

 dom of bloom is kept up the year around. Mars is a splen- 

 did Geranium for open-ground culture, as it is absolutely 

 sun-proof. Owing to its dwarf, compact habit of growth it is 

 an ideal variety for bordering and bedding. As a pot Gera- 

 nium it stands without a peer. The introducer truthfully 

 claims that one plant of Mars will produce as many flowers 

 as twenty- five ordinary Geraniums. It is undoubtedly 

 the finest novelty in Geraniums we have ever offered. 

 Be sure to include Mars in your order. Strong plants, 

 25 cts. each ; 3 for 60 cts.; 5 for $1 ; 12 for $2.25, postpaid.
