DOUBLE IVY GERANIUM. 
i, xT® r 7i P°P u 1 ar class of Geraniums, of robust trailing 
habit thickly clothed with dark green ivy-pointed leaves of 
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 flowers are much larger than the 
ordinary Geranium, and in shape of flowers and exquisite 
markings resemble the superb LadyWashingtonGerauiums 
or Pelargoniums. All the Ivy Geraniums are fine low bed- 
ders and should be allowed to trail in their own graceful 
fashion. Very fine for baskets or bracket. 
Jeanne d’Are —Pure white ; very double and fine. 
La Rosaire —Fine rose. Delicate and charming. 
Souv. Chas. Turner— Deep bright pink, approaching scar¬ 
let m 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.

pot plant for winter cannot be surpassed.
