GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES 



149 



florets compose a truss of grand size ; 

 center, tender pink, surrounded by border 

 of white. For freshness and beauty this 

 color is without a parallel among out-door 

 bedding varieties, and is equally fine as a 

 pot specimen. 



■Mme. Landry — Double. One of the 

 choicest and most beautiful of Bruants. 

 Very free and constant in bloom through- 

 out the season. Trusses large and florets 

 of the finest size and circular in form. 

 Color, clear salmon, center shading to 

 copper, with a white eye. Very distinct, 

 and one of the best by this raiser.

, Geraniums. 



Mrs. E. G. Hill— Single. Floret, 2^ x 

 2 inches. The center of each petal is a 

 soft, light salmon, bordered with rosy 

 salmon and veined deep rose. Frequently 

 throws six petals. 



Jacquerie — One of the largest of florets, 

 longer than wide ; very velvety in texture, 

 and a magnificent shade of very dark 

 crimson scarlet. One of the finest of single 

 geraniums; always in heavy demand; 25c. 

 each. 



M. Canovas — Immense trusses of very 

 dark, velvety scarlet, with dark crimson 

 shadings. Flowers large, on rigid stems. 

 A fine, free grower, and free in bloom. 



Kleber — Deep violet, of velvety texture. 

 Form of floret very fine. A free grower 



and very free in bloom. Flowers held well 

 above the foliage ; 25c. each. 



La Favorite — Still a standard sort among 

 double whites. 



Mme. Charlotte — Distinct pure salmon, 

 occasionally veined with white. Semi- 

 double Bruant. A decideed improvement 

 on Beaute Poitevine, both in color and 

 growth. 



M. A. Ricard — Clear orange red; 

 Bruant type. Free flowering. Dwarf, 

 sturdy habit. As a bedder it is unsur- 

 passed. 



Jean Viaud — Semi-double Bruant 

 Color, a beautiful shade of bright rose 

 which does not fade in the hottest weather. 

 Extra strong grower. The best pink 

 bedder. 



John Doyle — A very free, semi-double, 

 bright scarlet. Dwarf, robust grower. As 

 a pot plant it ranks as one of the best. 



Mme. Buchner — Double white. More 

 vigorous constitution than La Favorite. 



Secretair de Chatenay — The darkest 

 red in the market, dwarf grower. 



Michel Crosby — The largest of single 

 scarlet. Enormous trusses ; robust grower. 



Double Gen. Grant — Semi-double, clear 

 orange scarlet. An old, well-known variety, 

 probably more used for bedding than any 

 other variety in commerce. 



Due De Montemort — Deep brilliant car- 

 mine-purple, one of the most novel and 

 striking shades yet seen ; a profuse bloom- 

 er; foliage deeply zoned. Exceptionally 

 novel. 



J. J. Harrison — Rich, brilliant scarlet of 

 the Bruant. Immense flowers, many 

 measuring over 2 inches in diameter. 



Charles Gervais — The best double rose 

 pink in the market. 



Francis Perkins — In our estimation this 

 is one of the best double pink bedding 

 Geraniums. 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. 



Bruanti — Clear orange scarlet. A 

 very good bedder. Prices, 10c. each; $1.00 

 per dozen. 



IVY GEHANIUMS. 



Galilee — Light rosy-pink, veined with 

 lilac; extra good. 



Garden's Glory — Fine bright scarlet; 

 the best of its color, perhaps. Bold, full 

 flower, free grower and bloomer, and one 

 of the most generally useful of Ivies. 



Incomparable — Color, rosy carmine ; 

 trusses very large, florets immense and 

 very regular in form ; extra fine. 



Special prices on large quantities of any of our seeds.
