GERANIUMS. 
Among our bedding plants, there are none more popular or more useful than the 
Geraniums for planting out during our warm and dry summers. They resist heat 
and drouth remarkably, and give a profusion of uninterrupted bloom throughout 
the season. The ornamental foliaged tri-colors are specially adapted to house cul- 
ture, as they give their most brilliant tints in partial shade and a moderate temper- 
ature. The new double Geraniums must be regarded as great acquisitions ; their 
beautiful large trusses of brilliant and constant bloom, with the robust and vigorous 
habit of the plants, leave little further to be desired. The following will be found 
among the best of the very large number now catalogued, many of which difler
