Hastings* Superb Coleus—The Finest Bedding Plant in the South. 
FLOWER PLANTS 
These plants, listed on pages 25 and 26, are 
grown in our greenhouses here in Atlanta. Dur¬ 
ing the spring season they will be brought to our 
city store fresh every day and should give you 
the best results that you can get in plants, because 
they are most carefully grown. 
COLEUS. Aptly termed the “Gardener’s Paint 
Bos.” We have a superb assortment of brilliantly 
colored varieties that make beautiful beds. In At¬ 
lanta’s Grant Park are perhaps the most beautiful 
beds in the city and they are made of Coleus. 
There are no striking flowers, but the beau¬ 
tiful markings on the dense foliage in many 
colors are very beautiful. Get these plants for 
beds, borders, edging or porch and window boxes. 
Plants, 5 cents each; 50 cents a dozen. 
AGERATUM. A distinctive bedding and border 
plant that easily stands our summer sun and 
blooms all through the summer. Plants grow 1 % 
to 2 feet high, with light green foliage, surmounted 
by clusters of small, tassel-like blue and white 
flowers. Ageratum is also used quite extensively 
in boxes and pots, many wishing to grow them this 
way. Plants. 5 cents each; 50 cents a dozen. 
Hastings’ Eclipse Geraniums. 
GERANIUMS. There is hardly anything that 'will give more sat¬ 
isfaction than a dozen or more Geraniums for outdoor blooming 
during summer and indoor blooming during the winter months. 
Our Eclipse Collection gives you the cream of the double and semi¬ 
double varieties for Southern, and particularly Atlanta, use. They 
are tvonderful for bedding designs and add the finishing touch to 
the porch and window boxes. We don’t have to describe them, for 
every flower lover is acquainted with the familiar Geranium. We 
have these in all good Geranium colors and shades of red, pink and 
white. Strong plants In 3-ineh pots, 10 cents each; §1.00 a dozen. 
Extra strong plants in 4-inch pots, 15 cents each; $1.50 a dozen. 
BEGONIAS take rank as bedding plants with Geraniums and 
Coleus, doing equally well in full sunlight and surpassing both in 
shady positions. They are of sturdy growth, about a foot high, 
forming dense bushes, which from May until frost are almost hid¬ 
den with flowers. In pots they bloom the entire year. Colors pure 
white to crimson. Strong plants, 25 cents each. Extra large plants, 
50 cents each. 
FUCHSIAS are just about the most delicately beautiful of all 
flowers. A great poet said, “The Fuchia seems to flowers what the 
woman is to man: nature’s most sensitive work.” The delicate 
looking flowers are of the richest shades of red, carmine, purple and 
rose. The Atlanta people who visited California last year saw these 
beautiful flowers blooming in great profusion. They can be success¬ 
fully grotvn here if you plant the right varieties. We have only the 
ones adapted to Atlanta conditions. Plants, 15 and 20 cents each, de¬ 
pending on size. 
MOONFLOWERS need no description. In the daytime these porch 
climbers furnish the densest shade and at night and on cloudy 
days the vines are covered with massive (blue and white) flowers. 
(See illustration). No sunny porch home should be without them. 
Plants, 10 cents each; $1.00 a dozen.
