corolla creamy white ; sepals crim-

Storm Kin^. — A beautiful uot- 
elty, introduced a few years since; 
is a decided acquisition, and de- 
serves a place in every garden. 
This grand varietj' is of the most 
beautiful weeping habit. • The 
branches, drooping as they do, 
lend the plant a charming grace 
which is rarelj' found. Branches 
numerous, leaves small and numer- 
ous, and of the most beautiful 
glowing green. The buds, for two 
weeks before they expand, are 
balls of glowing scarlet crimson. 
The flowers continue to grow 
larger and larger after they ex- 
pand. The sepals are of the same 
glowing scarlet crimson as the 
buds, while the large double cor- 
olla is of delicate, waxy white- 
ness, elegantly penciled with deep, 
bright crimson. Its flowering qual- 
ities are most remarkable, tor it is 
never out of bloom when in a 
healthy condition. 
Speciosa. — Single; corolla scar- 
let; sepals blush. One of the very 
best blooming varieties for either 
summer or winter.

white corolla; sepals bright pmk;

The most perfect and beautiful 
double white Fuchsia ever raised.

bright, rich, reddish crimson color; 
corolla white extra large, full and 
double; flower of the largeist size. 
In all save color it is like Phenom- 
enal, It is of the most robust, up- 
right growth, not coarse, but com- 
pact and very ss'mmetrical. It has 
'iCvery qualification to recommend 
it — size, freedom of bloom and good 
constitution. 
STORM KINO FrCITRTA. 
^uebsia. 
The Ftichsias, as all know, are elegant flowers, delicate in coloring 
and exquisitely graceful in form. When in full bloom they are a most 
beautiful sight. The plants we offer are strong and thrifty, grown es- 
pecially for summer and winter flowering, and may be trained in almost 
any desired form. They require a light, rich soil. Sprinkle often, and give 
plenty of light and air. The usual plan is to obtain plants, flower 
them in the house during the winter, and then consider them useless. 
This is all wrong. If you have any defective spot on the north side of the 
house that you wish to conceal during the summer, nothing will answer 
the purpose as beautifully as a Fuchsia. Put out the plants in early sum- 
mer, sinking the pots a "little deeper than the rim, and before the first 
frost reuove the plants to the house, and they will make you glad all 
winter, and be ready for service in the garden in the summer.' For single 
specimens, vases, window or veranda boxes, no plant wc have to-day can 
compare with them in graceful appearance or beauty of bloom. In our 
northern country they succeed finely, and no collection of plants, however 
small, is complete without a few of these favorites. Price, 15c. each.

(geraniums. 
No class of plants is more Kenerally cultivated than the Geranium. A 
group of scarlet Geraniums is a dazzling sight from June to November 
Wherever wc go where plants are grown in any part of the civilized 
world, we find the Geranium. At once useful and beautiful and entirely 
eclipsing byits mass of bloom and brilliant coloring, its more aristocratic 
and costly neighbors, where used in connection with Alternanthera 
Coleus, and other foliage plants, they make an attractive display. The 
Geranium family is so extensive and varied that we have deemed it de- 
sirable to offer only the best varieties adapted for the North and West. 
Plants intended for winter blooming should be grown in pots through 
the summer and not be allowed to blossom. Geraniums to bloom well 
m the house require to be kept quite cool, and to have plenty of air. 10c 
each; $1.00 per doz. $7.00 per hundred except where noted.
