It is with pleasure that we offer for the first time : 
ONE GERANIUM, TWO ROSES, THREE CHRYSANTHEMUM^. 
We own the entire stock and hare given them aU thorough tests at our nurseries prior to 
bringing them before the public, and we feel confident that they wili not disappoint those who 
procure them. Below will be found a description of each variety. 
New Geranium 
Snowball 
Produces immense trusses of semi-double pure white flowers ; the trusses are borne well above the 
foliage; habit of growth mediumly dwarf. One seldom finds a geranium with all the good qualities this 
variety possesses. It will prove a splendid bedding variety and is without doubt the best white geranium 
thus far introduced. Price, 35 cts. each. 
Two New Roses 
Palo Alto Berkeley 
This grand new rose we have grown for the past 
two seasons in our trial grounds, and find it to be a 
rose of great merit, producing enormous quantities of 
fine blooms throughout the entire season, from early 
spring to December, in the open ground. Color, rose 
suffused with carmine; buds long, pointed and very 
full; beautifully glossy foliage, never affected with mil- 
A charming rose of great promise, especially 
beautiful in the bud, which is long and pointed; 
color deep crimson; a profuse bloomer, with dark, 
healthy, glossy foliage; a strong grower. After 
two "years trial we can with confidence recom- 
mend it ; in fact we consider Berkeley the best dark 
rose ever raised in California. Price, 3-inch pots, 
50 cts. each. 
dew; a vigorous grower. Price, 3-inch pots, 50c. each. 
Mr. Luther Burbank, the eminent horticultural specialist, pronounces Palo Alto the finest rose and freest 
bloomer he has ever seen. 
Three New Chrysanthemums 
Price, 7S cts, each, or $S.00 for the three. 
Mrs. Hugh Tevis 
A fine large incurved flower, color a peculiar blending of apricot pink and old gold with a coppery 
luster; fine foliage; stiff stem; an excellent keeper; medium early. We know of no other Chrysanthemum 
possessing such a striking combination of colors. Wherever shown it has attracted marked attention, and 
from onr knowledge of this most unique flower gained during the past two seasons we consider it a valua- 
ble acquisition. 
5unset Pink 
Acknowledged by professionals who have seen it during the past two seasons the best late pink Chrysan- 
themum yet introduced, being in its prime around Christmas ; flowers dark pink ; reflexed ; very large, high 
built, compact, and well developed to the center ; borne on good stiff stems, which are clothed with heavy 
foliage of fine body and appearance; somewhat resembles Viviand Morel, though a great improvement on 
that variety, one point of superiority being its excellent substance. We predict that this grand flower will 
soon come to the front as a standard commercial variety. 
Hersylrea 
Very large; reflexed ; bronze and yellow; obtained by crossing J. Collins' with Golden Gale, resulting in 
a decided improvement over Golden Gate; flowers of remarkable substance, stems stiff; foliage of excellent 
color and dense, coming well up on the stem ; taken as a whole it is one of the very best bronze yellows yet 
introduced and without doubt has a great future.
