MOSTLY BRUANTS.

 florets very large, and produced in immense trusses. The most beauti- 

 ful single scarlet ever produced, and should be in every collection.

 ■white Geranium, that does not tinge or become pink in our hot sun

SOUVENIR DE MIRANDE, " THE PEACH BLOSSOM » 

 GERANIUM. — Ot all the many new and highly esteemed introductions 

 in Geraniums, none can approach the Souvenir de Mirande iu its own 

 peculiar and attractive appearance, and I consider it one of the hand- 

 somest flowers for cutting, which in itself is a valuable feature. But 

 this is not all. The colorings are simply remarkable, to which no en- 

 graving or description can do justice, although the colored plate in my 

 1892 Catalogue, came very near to its unique shadings. The upper 

 petals are a crystal white, margined with rosy carmine, shading to a 

 peach blossom pink; the lower petals a rich salmon rose, shading to 

 deep coral, the whole streaked with pure white,
