769. Pelargonium, Zonal {Geramaceoi) — Withont donbt we have the 
finest and best collection of Zonal Geraniums in the world — both men and 
houses are entirely devoted to their culture. One large house contained 
upwards of 600 specimen varieties, exclusively for trial and seeding. The 
number being gradually reduced to 200 of the very choicest, including many of 
those now offered for the first time in this Catalogue, we can therefore 
confidently say the seed now offered is far superior in quality to any other 
yet introduced to the public, and cannot fail to bring forth some startling 
improved varieties, as it is carefully hybridised with only the very choicest 
kinds, and every known method of fecundation is adopted to effect thorough 
crosses. 2 ft. 6<7. and Is. per pkt.
