blooming and almost sun-proof constitution 
combined, give it the prominence as a bed- 
der it has attained.

flowers all through the season. An exceptionally fine Geranium.

MAKE 1918 A REAL FLOWER YEAR 
Never has money been so plentiful with the people of the South 
as now. They can well afford to spend a little for flowers to beau- 
tify home surroundings. Ro«es, Geraniums, Chrysanthemums, 
Ferns, etc., add so much to the home and its surroundings and cost 
so little that you can afford them in 1918.
