Geraniums- -Continued. 
Jean Viaud — An entirely new variety, whieli is be- 
coming a great favorite as a bedding and pot plant. 
The flowers are simply immense In size, borne on long, 
strong, stiff stems well above the foliage. The color is 
a clear rosy pink with distinct white eye, flowers 
semi-double. The plant is a vigorous compact grower 
with broad deep green leaves. 
L’Aube — Enormous sized trusses, large round single 
florets, pure snow-white, retaining its pureness the en- 
tire season; in freedom of bloom, splendid habit and 
growth of plant, this variety resembles the excellent 
double white variety La Favorite; we believe this to 
be (lie very best single white up to date. 
Madame Bruant — Flowers of large size with finely- 
veined centre and outer border of distinct contrasting 
colors. The ground color is white, elegantly penciled 
with deep rose, florets edged and varied with crim- 
son lake; both flowers and trusses are very large 
and striking, makes very handsome plants and is a 
constant and abundant bloomer. “Madame Bruant” 
is one of the grandest and most beautiful Geraniums 
ever introduced; a whole bed of it is none too much. 
Mad. Jaulin— Semi-double, immense florets, form 
trusses of the very largest size; centre tender pink 
with wide pure white border, one of the most beauti- 
ful varieties ever seen, extra fine for bedding and 
also for house culture. 
Mrs. E. G. Hill — For those unacquainted with the 
variety we would say it is a most distinct and pleas- 
ing shade of salmon, with light shading to the centre. 
The finest single salmon -flowered Geranium to date. 
One of the freest bloomers, continually covered with 
flowers. 
S. A. Nutt — The best double Crimson bedding Ger- 
anium. This, tile finest of dark crimson geraniums, 
lias now taken the lead as a bedding variety, being 
used in the largest parks and public grounds of the 
country In preference to all others. Its dense, compact 
growth, profuse blooming qualities and sun proof con- 
stitution combined give it the prominence as a bedder 
it has attained. As a pot plant it cannot be excelled, 
as It does not make the long, straggly growth so many 
other geraniums do in the winter. 
Rose-Scented Geranium — A favorite old »plant quite 
indispensable for window gardens. Grown for the de- 
lightful fragrance of its foliage and most useful in 
making up bouquets. 
Price, 12c each; 3 for 30c, postpaid. 
Ivy-Leaved Geranium — Galileo. Should be planted 
even more than at present for there is nothing more 
desirable for baskets, vases, or for any purpose where 
a trailing or climbing plant may be used. Rich, 
deep pink ; large flowers of good substance, and not 
only flowers in Summer but makes a beautiful plant 
for the window In Winter. 
12c each; 3 for 30c. 
Any of the above Geraniums, 12c each; 3 for 30c, 
postpaid. 
Lantanas or Shrubby Verbenes. 
For bedding and baskets, these plants are very pop- 
ulur. Few bedding plants bloom more continuously or 
afford a greater variety of colors. Grown in pots or 
tubs, they make splendid specimens for the porch or 
lawn. 
Alba Perfecta — Pure snow white. Compact habit. 
Comtesse de Biencourt — Flowers bright rose and yel- 
low, center sulphur. 
La Pleurie d’Or (Golden Rain) — Small, pure yel- 
low flowers, very dwarf and bushy, very abundant 
bloomer. 
Michael Schmidt — Flowers fresh and sparkling, of a 
brilliant yellow, passing into a purple Vermillion. 
New Weeping Lantana, Delicatissima. 
Our Illustration gives some Idea of the charming 
New Weeping I.antana when planted In baskets, vases 
or pots for which It Is particularly recommended; but 
It Is, If possible, more beautiful still when bedded 
out. The plant is a neat, handsome grower, pro- 
ducing a great abundance of leafy vines, which cover 
the ground with their pretty foliage and bear such an 
Immense profusion of lovely, clear pink flowers, that 
the whole bed seems a sheet of rosy bloom from early 
Summer till late Fall. Scarcely anything on our 
grounds attracts more attention than a bed of this 
charming Lantuna. The flowers are borne In ele- 
gant clusters, and hundreds and thousands of them are 
In bloom all the time. 
Price of Lantana, 10c each; one each of tho five 
for 45c. 
Double Petunias. 
Plants of the easiest culture, producing flowers In 
profusion. Excellent for bedding and pot culture. 
They are among the most desirable plants. Our col- 
lection embraces a number of beautiful colors. 
Crimson, Pink, Maroon, White, Variegated, 12c each, 
3 for 30c; 1 each of the 5 colors for 60c. 
Salvia Splendens. 
(Scarlet Sage.) 
Salvias will grow and bloom profusely In all sec- 
tions without fail and will make a greater display 
than any other flower for the money invested. Salvia 
Splendens blooms early and very freely. 
It is one of the finest bedding plants, being com- 
pletely covered all summer and fall with long spikes 
of dazzling scarlet flowers, remuining in bloom until 
cut down by frost. 
Price, 10c each; three for 25c. 
Violets. 
Of all the delightful perfumes, that of the Violet 
Is the most delicate and pleasing. Violets are now one 
of our most fashionable flowers, and deservedly so. 
They delight in a moist, shady location, and with 
proper care will bloom profusely during Spring and 
also during Autumn. If wanted for Winter blooming, 
they should be lifted in Autumn and grown In a 
frame or In pots in a cool room, as they will not 
stand much fire heat. They are generally considered 
hardy, although in the Northern States a covering of 
leaves, etc., is very beneficial. No collection Is com- 
plete without a few Violets. We offer only a few of 
the choicest varieties. 
California — The largest of all Violets. This Is the 
largest and most productive Violet in cultivation. 
For richness, purity of color and fragrance of flower 
it Is unequaled. It is a single flower, and It has 
that sweet simplicity peculiar to the Violet. The 
color Is pure, rich violet-blue, that does not fade. 
Extremely free-flowering, a single plant producing 
hundreds of flowers throughout the season. 
Double Blue Violet — Lady Hume Campbell — Certainly 
the most valuable double Violet in cultivation. Of 
strong, healthy growth and a remark al»ly free bloomer. 
Color, dark purple. So persistent is its blooming that 
young plants in 2-inch pots last Spring were literally 
covered with flowers. 
Swanley White — This valuable variety is a sport 
from Marla Louise. It blooms as freely und is in 
every way equal to its parent. The flowers are large, 
double and pure white. One of the desirable varieties, 
owing to Its color. 
Price of Violets, 10c each; one each of the three 
kinds for 25c.
