PELARGONIUMS. 
This grand old plant is again coming to the front in popular favor. The reason 
is evident, as seen in the improved sorts of today. The large fluffy, crimped, and in 
some sorts semi-double flowers, 
their longer season of bloom, 
greater variety of coloring, from 
the most delicate to the brighest 
and most fiery. Also in their favor, 
that many of these improved sorts 
are much stronger growers than 
the old varieties. No American 
florist will catalogue a finer set than 
the following :
