The Haskell Avenue Floral Co., Dallas, Texas 
NEW GERANIUMS 
The following have proved all the originators claim for them, and we ask you to give 
them a thorough trial. 
JEAN VIAUD. The queen of pink Bruants. Soft, pure pink; semi-double, with two 
white blotches. Dwarf, stocky grower, rigid stems, large trusses, perfect florets, a con- 
tinuous bloomer, the plant being covered with flowers throughout the season. The finest 
double pink variety that we have ever seen. Will rank with the best bedders of any color, 
if it does not prove the leader of them all. It has an iron constitution, and withstands the 
rain and sun better than any known Geranium. We speak with absolute certainty about 
this variety. 
MAD. LOUISE ABBEMA. This lovely variety has large, round florets of an exqui- 
site shade of blush pink, mottled and shading into white. Nicely filled with petals. One of 
the prettiest of the double fancy Aureole picotces. 
LOUIS FRANCAIS. New Double Bruant Sun-proof variety. Semi-double, pure rose 
color, tinted salmon. This is an improved Beaute Poitevine, if such a thing is possible, with 
a color that is quite irresistible The flowers are enormous, on good stems, and with all the 
best points of a perfect Bruant Geranium, in addition to the fine new color. 
ALICE OF VINCENNES. Border of intense scarlet, forming a band around the body 
color of rosy pink, heavily veined with scarlet, center white ; a very brilliant combination 
of colors. 
JULIA MARLOWE. Broad overlapping petals of dazzling even shade of scarlet ; form 
and color extra good, combined with fine growth. 
MRS. EWINC- Pale salmon, changing to pure pink at the center. One of the largest 
and most perfect ever raised ; quite circular in outline. 
MME. COYEUX. Light rosy pink, with large white blotch in the center of the flower ; 
a delicate and beautiful color. One of the prettiest of the double Aureoles, because the 
colors are absolutely bright and clear. Very free in bloom, and stands the sun finely. Very 
valuable in fancy bedding, a nice dwarf grower, with compact foliage of light green ; free and 
vigorous. 
M. CANOVAS. Immense trusses of very dark, velvety scarlet, with dark crimson 
shadings. Flowers large, on rigid stems. A fine, free grower, and free in bloom.

strong grower; grand in every way. A mar- 
velous variety.
