TWO FINE CERANIUMS. 
Flowering Rose Ceranium — A distinct variety 01 
the scented Geranium with a strong rose fragrance, 
and large deep scarlet flowers of the Hybrid Perpetual 
class. Combines free flowering qualities with fragrant 
foliage. Very useful for summer cut flowers, and as a 
pot plant for winter cannot be surpassed. 
Double Tricolor—Beautiful in leaf and bloom. The finest 
of all tri-color Geraniums, much better than the good 
old Mrs. I ollock. Its large thick leaves are rayed and 
zoned with scarlet, gold, pink, green, etc., superbly. 
tSc. each; the two for /* 0 c. Large plant a, by express, hoc. each . 
PELARGONIUMS. 
The most beautiful of the Geranium tribe. Magnificent 
flowers of regal richness, imposing size, and striking beauty. 
Their pencilings and blotching seem as though touched by 
ftn artist’s brush, they are so fresh and vivid. Bloom gener¬ 
ally in late spring and summer. Quite easy to gro%v, and 
often called Lady Washington Geranium. 
Mamed Varieties— A fine collection, 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
Extra Large plants by express. Sac. each, 
mm. Robert Sandiford—The flower is of large size, well 
doubled, and of glistening, snow white color. 60c . each. 
Marlon— Another grand novelty. The same plant bears 
flowers of different colors. One cluster of bloom will be 
white marked with crimson, while another will be fine 
rose marked purple. Hoc. each ; the two for 80c. 
DOUBLE IVY CERANIUM. 
A very popular class of Geraniums, of robust trailing 
habit thickly clothed with dark green ivv-pointed leaves or 
smooth glossy wax-like texture, worth growing for the 
beauty of foliage alone. When in bloom they are doubly 
beautiful, with large trusses of beautiful flowers borne well 
above the foliage. These floffers are much larger than t,lie 
ordinary Geranium, and in shape of flowers and exquisite 
markings resemble the superb LadyWashingtonGerar.iums 
or Pelargoniums. All the Ivy Geraniums are fine low bed- 
ders and should be allow ed to trail in their own graceful 
fashion. Very fine for baskets or bracket. 
Jeanne d f Arc—Pure white; very double and fine. 
La Rosalre— Fine rose. Delicate and charming. 
Souv. Chas. Turner—Deep bright pink, approaching scar¬ 
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 onoe novel and beautiful in the extreme. 
Price, 20c. each; the 4 for 50c. Large plants by express , Me. 
each; the U for $ 1 . 00 , 
Mammoth Sage. 
A plant of this new Sage will yield more than a dozen of 
the common sort. The leavesare of enormous size and su¬ 
perior quality, and the plant, a compact, rank grower, cover¬ 
ing a space of more than three feet in diameter, rarely 
flowers and never runs to seed, and can bo picked all the 
season. It is perfectly hardy in the coldest climate. Every 
person who has use for Sage should plant this variety. Fine 
plants, 15c. each; 3 for 30c.; G for 50c.; 15 for $1.00.
