SIXTEEN BEST GERANIUMS, 



One of the 



Eight Single, Eight Double. 



GERTRUDE PEARSON —Color, pure rose pink, 

 most attractive and pleasing Geraniums grown. 



SOUVENIR DE MIRANDE.— Entirely distinct from any other 

 variety known, it has round florets, upper petals cream 

 white.' distinct rosy pink border, lower petals salmon rose 

 streaked with pure lilac. A most novel coloring. 



J. P. CLEARY. — Enormous trusses, most brilliant, deep, orange 

 scarlet. The freest blooming scarlet Geranium known. 



SNOWDROP —Enormous sized trusses of purest snow white, re- 

 taining its pureness the entire season. 



WONDER.— A hery scarlet, with shading of maroon and crim- 

 son. In color and profusion of bloom a grand Geranium. 



MARY HALLOCK FOOTE — A light, clear salmon, blending 

 into dark shades. The yellowish salmon gives it a special 

 delicate shade seldom seen in Geraniums. 



MADONNA.-rA delicate pink, deepening to a sott peach-blow. 

 A perfect Geranium of an entirely new shade. 



GRANVILLE.— Clear, rosy pink. Stands the hot sun better 

 than any other pink, 'invaluable as a bedder. 



S. A. NUTT.— This is the darkest and richest Geranium grown. 

 It is very bright, dark, deep, rich, velvety maroon, an ex- 

 cellent bedder and a perfect pot plant. One that must find 

 its way into every collection. 



EMERSON.— Distinct rosy salmon. A decided acquisition. 

 Unexcelled. 



LA FAVORITE.— In this Geranium we believe we 

 have the finest double white Geranium in culti- 

 vation. The flowers are borne in large trusses 

 of the purest snow white, retaining this pure 

 whiteness even in the height of Summer. 



QUEEN OF THE FAIRIES.— Clear apricot salmon, 

 shading towards the center to a white eye. A 

 most beautiful Geranium and a good one. 



PROF. POIRAULT.— This is a deep solferino in 

 color. It has a splendid habit and the color is 

 decidedly unique and bright for a Geranium. 



Premium No. 105. 



TWENTY NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



HOFF BEACH.— Deep magenta 

 Geranium of its color. 



The best bedding 



BEAUTE POITEVINE.— This variety is conceded 

 to be the best semi-double salmon pink Gerani- 

 um in existence. A most profuse bloomer. 

 CENTAUR,— This new mammoth Geranium is the 

 best large flowering double pink Geranium in 

 cultivation. As many as sixty florets have been 

 counted on a single truss. The color is the rich- 

 est deep pink.
