Jean Viaucl. 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 Geranium. We speak with absolute certainty about this variety. 
Iflad. Louise Abbema. This lovely variety has large, round florets of an exqui- 
site shade of blush pink, mottled and shading into white. Nicely tilled with petals. One of 
the prettiest of the double fancy Aureole picotees.

rose color, tinted salmon. This is an improved Beaute Poitevine, if such a thing is possible,

all the best points of a perfect Bruant Geranium, in addition to the fine new color.
