GERANIUMS. 
These are probably the most satisfactory bedding plants grown, while at 
the same time are equally satisfactory as house plants. The great advance 
in form and coloring made in recent years have given us some charming 
varieties. Most Florists grow Geraniums in any old place, simply because 
they will stand a lot of neglect and grow after a fashion. We devote one 
whole modern house to them, besides considerable space in our other 
houses. While it costs considerable more to grow them in this way, our 
customers will find that a less number of our strong bushy plants in a bed 
will make a larger showing and give better satisfacton than a greater 
number of the weak, spindly plants usually sold as bedding Geraniums. 
While we have a large number of varieties, only the best are listed be- 
low. Price: 
Strong plants from 2Vz Inch pots, 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz. 
Strong plants from 3 inch pots, 15 cts. each, $1.50' per doz. 
Strong plants from 4 inch pots, 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz.
