Geranium, Mrs. J. M. Gaar. Hill. 



Probably the finest of the single white bedders; semi-dwarf, as 

 free in bloom as Katie Schulz ; the plants have been a cloud of 

 bloom all summer. Florets nicely shaped and of madium size. 

 Hybrid of Souvenir de Mirande. 



— Mrs. Trowbridge. Miller. 



— M. Louis Fages. Various dealers. 



A beautiful compact grower ; fine foliage nicely zoned ; trusses 

 large, florets of extra size ; semi-double. Color, clear orange. Very 

 free in bloom. Imported. (Bruant type.) 1890-1. 

 1 — M. Poirier. Various dealers. 



Single. Soft vinous rose; the prettiest geranium in this color, with 

 markings on the upper petals that are beautiful. Imported. 1890-1. 



— M. P. Olombel. Various dealers. 



Brilliant vermilion-scarlet with orange shadings; trusses of im- 

 mense size and perfect form. Imported. 



— Montesquieu. Various dealers. 



Very large semi-double florets of exquisite pale pink, with white 

 eye. The nearest approach to the color of Grace Wilder ; floret 

 quite circular. An exquisitely beautiful variety. Imported. 1890-1. 



— M. V. Noulens. Various dealers. 



May be described as a scarlet Mirande. It is a magnificent va- 

 riety of large size, and of the most brilliant combination of clear 

 white, with scarlet border. Imported. (Mirande type.) 1890-1. 



— P. Crozy. Various dealers. 



A hybrid between the zonales and ivies, having the foliage of the 

 former, but very heavy in texture, while the forms of truss and 

 florets are found only among the ivies ; the color is soft bright scar- 

 let, with veinings of maroon ; the habit is perfect, and it is a grand 

 bedder. Imported. 1890-1. 



— President Carnot. Various dealers. 



One of the very best new geraniums of the year. Semi-double, 

 florets and trusses of immense size ; plant very free bloomer, color 

 brilliant deep scarlet. Imported. Raised by Delesalle. 



— Ruy Bias. Various dealers. 



Very large double florets in medium-sized trusses. Large center 

 of fiery salmon, edges a soft rosy salmon. Imported. 1890-1. 



— Sacher Masoch. Various dealers. 



Very large trusses of large double florets, currant-red in color. 

 Imported. (Lemoine.) 



— S. G. Cobb. Hill. 



Beautiful floret with slightly overlapping petals ; a sturdy grower 

 with heavily zoned foliage ; large showy truss on long stems ; florets 

 not crowded owing to length of footstalks ; the two upper petals are 

 white one-half the distance from the center ; the other half is bright 

 pink ; the other three petals are bright pink, dotted near center with 

 many tiny points of bright red, as in Cannell's Spotted Gem. Single. 

 Hybrid of Souvenir de Mirande.
