NEW REGAL PELARGONIUMS. 
This name is applied to that magnificent group of Pelargoniums, the flowers of 
which are of large size, very rich and showy, and although they are not really 
double, yet from their fullness of form and the extra number of petals, they have 
the appearance of being so. 
BEAUTY OF OXTON, a splendid novelty, the 
flowers of similar form to those of Pelargonium 
Queen Victoria, but of quite a distinct colour. 
The upper petals are ofa very rich maroon colour, 
darkly blotched ; the under petals very dark 
crimson, shaded with maroon ; light centre tinted 
with rose ; all the petals are attractively and 
regularly margined with white, and beautifully 
fringed. The flowers are large and very full, 
the extra number of petals giving them the 
appearance of being semidouble. For illustra- 
tion, vide page 106. 1 guinea. 
CAPTAIN RAIKES, a splendid variety, pro- 
ducing very fine large full flowers ; upper 
petals deep fiery crimson, flaked with purplish 
black, and bordered with carmine ; lower petals 
clear bright fiery crimson. The flowers, which 
from their fullness appear double, are extremely 
attractive, and admirably adapted for bouquet 
making. 3s. M. 
ELEGANTISSIMUM, a beautiful variety, with 
large crispy semidouble flowers, of a rich ver- 
milion colour, all the petals broadly margined

M. PH. ZELLER, a distinct and showy variety,

PRINCE OF PELARGONIUMS, large flower, 
with elegantly fringed margin, of a brilliant 
vermilion scarlet ground colour, finely relieved 
by a blush white centre with violet veins, and 
flushed with rich crimson in the upper petals. 
Very free blooming, of dwarf yet vigorous 
habit. 2s. 6 d. 
QUEEN VICTORIA, this remarkably distinct 
and handsome Pelargonium is one of the most 
marvellously beautiful and novel varieties ever 
offered. The flowers have peculiarly crispy 
petals ; they are not really double, but from 
their fullness of form and the extra number of 
petals, they have the appearance of being so. 
The colour is a rich vermilion ; all the petals 
broadly margined with pure white, and the 
upper ones blotched with maroon. The con- 
trast of the broad white margin with the ver- 
milion ground colour makes the flower ex- 
tremely pleasing and attractive. For illus- 
tration, vide page 107. 3s. 6d.
