G^rai*idiits. 
The most popular of all pot or bedding plants, combining 
0 ne habit, handsome foliage and great quantities of showy 
Bowers. More than this, they are the easiest of ail plants to 
grew and are never troubled with insects. Fine also for 
cutting and wearing, as they do not wilt readily. The varie¬ 
ties that we offer all have very large trusses of the most per¬ 
fect (lowers and of the most distinct colors. Wo could have 
made our list four times as large, but we chose rather to 
offer a few only, but these extra choice ones.

KSSifSl* large vrusse 8 of beautiful flowers borne well 
above the foliage. These flowers are much larger than the 
ordinary Geranium, and in shape of flower and exquisite 
markings resemble the superb Lady'Washington Geraninml 
or Pelargoniums. All the Ivy Geraniums are fine low bed- 
f ders and should be allowed to trail in their own graceful 
! fashion. Very fine for baskets or bracket. 
Jeanne d*Arc— Pure white; very double and fine.

let in color; the upper petals feathered maroon. 
Mrs. Parker— A beautiful double-flowering ivy-leaved, in 
which we have the only* double-flowering variety in the 
silver-leaved section. While the foliage is deep green, 
with a broad border, and margin of pure snow-white, the 
flower is perfectly double, and of a clear bright pink, a 
combination at once novel and beautiful in the extreme. 
DOUBLE TRICOLOR. 
As beautiful in leaf as most Geraniums are in bloom. 
The finest of all tri-rolor Geraniums, much better than the 
good old Mrs. Pollock. Its large thick leaves are rayed and 
zoned with scarlet, gold, pink, green, etc., in a superb 
manner. 
90c. each;* for 50c. Extra laroe, by express , UOc. each; Sfor $ 1.00 .
