Dear Sirs:— 
Your new geranium, Ruby, is 
certainly worthy to have a place in every 
garden. It was in my opinion the best 
geranium in the garden. Your beds were 
looking fine after the Convention and I 
was sorry to dig them up when they 
were at their best. Yours very truly, 
LOUIS BOEGLIN 
Head Gardener of the Minneapolis Parks. 
GENERAL WOOSTER —Seedling of 
S. A. Nutt and Jean Viaud. Plant of 
dwarf compact habit. Thick foliage.

pot plants or bedding out. Semi-double.
