Dear Sirs: — 
Your new geranium, Ruby, is 
certainly worthy to have a piace in every 
garden. It was in my opinion the best 
geranium in the garden. Your beds were 
looking fine after the Convention and I 
was sorry to dig them up when they 
were at their best. Yours very truly 
LOUIS BOEGLIN. 
Head Gardener of the Minneapolis Parks. 
GENERAL WOOSTER— Seedling of 
S. A. Nutt and Jean Viaud. Plant of 
dwarf compact habit. Thick foliage. 
Enormous trusses, borne on heavy rigid 
stems. Color rose pink. As its parent- 
age would indicate it is a good sort for 
pot plants or bedding out. Semi-double.
