M ofc (See cut.) This new variety is the mtro- 
I'lo-rs. duction to the floral world of a new 
class of Geraniums, of which Mars and America arc 
the first representatives. The immense popularity 
which Mars has attained the past season is the best 
evidence of its great merit. It is of dwarf, compact 
growth, the dw.-ii-fest variety introduced to date, 
formingstrong, stockv plants with great drouth re- 
sisting qualities and is the most prolific bloomer 
ever seen. The foliage is dark green with bronze 
zones and during the summer is completely smoth- 
ered in a mass of bloom. The flowers are single, 
deep rose salmon, becoming deeper at the center and 
shading to almost pure white at the outer edge ol 
the petal. These are borne in large trusses set well 
above the foliage on strong stems. For bedding on
