GERANIUMS. 
T HERE is hardly a plant which is more popular among all classes on the globe 
than what is generally known as the Horse Shoe. Zonale or Fish Geranium. 
The Geranium is found under many different circumstances; it helps to em- 
bellish the conservatories of the millionaires as well as the homes of the humble 
and industrious, but it loses nothing of its inherent beauty on that account. It 
wanders with the household furniture from place to place, and the good wife 
makes a special request to her husband not to forget her Geranium. The propaga- 
tion of the Geranium is universally known. Every woman knows how to slip it 
or grow it from cuttings: it is also produced freely from seed. They stand the hot 
sun of the South better than any other class of plants. They produce more flowers 
and make a better display on whatever place they are grown than anything that 
could be grown on a similar space. We have revised our Geranium list, and now 
have nothing but the very best and most distinct varieties.
