DOUBLE-FLOWERED IVY-LEAF PELARGONIUMS. 
^|j]T seems, but the other day that there were no doublo-flowcring|[vy-Icaf Geraniums, yet now we have 
many and more double than a rose, all distinct, and many of them most valuable for cut flowers ; 
few people have an idea, and very few can form the slightest conception, what grand kinds we 
have in this family, and what splendid specimen plants they make trained on trellises ; and what is 
•more surprising, all have been introduced within the last few years, and in fact, no class of plants 
has made such rapid progress in so short a time. The stands of cut blooms exhibited by us at 
numerous shows were a marvel for the acquisitions they contained, including many of the following 
varieties. Our selection in GO-sized pots, 6s. per doz.
