Splendid Free=Blooming Fuchsias 
Easily Grown And Sure To Bloom. 
For ease of culture, varied colors, profusion of bloom and adaptability to all locations we 
strongly recommend tfte Fuchsias, the best varieties of which are ottered in the following 
list. They are suitable alike for winter blooming or for growing out-doors, either in beds or 
in pots, boxes or vases, as the case may be. A collection of flowering plants is not com¬ 
plete without Fuchsias, and the extremely low price at which splendid sorts are offered per¬ 
mits of a choice collection of different varieties at a small cost. 
BLACK PRINCE— 1 This is without question the very finest single Fuchsia grown for 
the amateur to cultivate. It makes a shapely bush, is robust in growth, free from disease 
and insects, and is probably the freest in blooming. Blossoms of a beautiful waxy-carmine 
or pink color. Certainly a plant of easy culture. 
GIGANTEA-'Tube and sepals carmine; corolla a beautiful shade of light magenta; extra 
large single flowers produced very freely. 
GLOIRK DES MARCHES—Undoubtedly the finest double white Fuchsia ever sent 
out; makes a neat compact plant, branches freely and is covered nearly all the time with ex¬ 
quisite double flowers of largest size and of pure snowy whiteness; an extra fine variety. 
LITTLE BEAUTY-A perfect gem; marvelously free-flowering. Single flowers 1 Vi 
inches long; bright red tube and sepals; corolla rich purple. 
MRS. E. G. HILL—One of the most perfect double white Fuchsias yet introduced. 
Tube and sepals bright reddish crimson, contrasting with the large, pure white corollas to 
great advantage. A very free bloomer. 
PHENOMENAL—The largest double Fuchsia we have yet seen. The tube and sepals 
are bright coral-red, beautifully formed. The corolla, nearly two and one-half inches across, 
is of the very richest violet shade. The habit is remarkably free, and it blooms more freely 
than any other large variety. 
SPECIOSA— A genuine ever-bloomer. Elegantly shaded and of good substance. 
Orange scarlet corolla and white sepals; calyx rose-carmine. One of the best in cultivation. 
Price, of any Fuchsias, 12c.’ each, 3 for 30c postpaid. 
GERANIUMS- 
The improvement in the‘Geranium, both in the size of the indivi¬ 
dual flower and truss, is wonderful when compared with th^ flower 
"of a dozen years ago. Many of the single flowers are larger than a 
silver dollar, and the trusses are immense balls of living color; 
in color we find from the purest white to delicate rose, brilliant scarlet, richest crimson, and many other shades 
BEAUTE POITEVINE—Best salmon-colored Geranium for bedding purposes; most profuse bloomer of 
all the geraniums. Largest size trusses, borne on long foot stalks; florets very large, double, and of a beauti¬ 
ful brilliant salmon. Always in great demand during spring; brings a higher price than any of the others. 
COUNTESS OF HARCOURT-Pure snow white. A grand bedder. Florets large, double and beauti¬ 
fully formed. Extremely free in bloom, forming a bank of white. 
CLYBE-A sport from Mrs. E. G. Hill, in every respect like its parent, except in color, which is pure scar¬ 
let of soft, even shade. Immense single flowers 2V£ to 3 inches in diameter. Trusses 14 to 16 inches in cir¬ 
cumference. A grand bedder, and also a fine pot plant. 
E. H. TREGO —Double. We consider this the best double scarlet geranium yet introduced and can truly 
say it is the largest flower and the brightest geranium we have yet seen, and it cannot be excelled for bedding 
purposes. The color is a deep scarlet of exquisite shade; the florets are regular in form, more than semi-double 
and about 2Vz inches in diameter. Trusses enormously large on long stems. Foliage and habit beautiful. 
JEAN YIAUD-An entirely new variety, which is becoming a great favorite as a bedding and pot plant. 
The flowers are simply immense in size, borne on long, strong, stiff stems well above the foliage. The color is 
clear rosy pink with distinct white eye, flowers semi-double. The plant is a vigorous compact grower. 
L’AUBE — Enormous sized trusses, large round single florets, pure snow white, retaining its pureness the 
entire season; in freedom of bloom, splendid habit and growth of plant, this variety resembles the excellent 
double white variety La Favorite; we believe this to be the very best single white variety up to date. 
MADAME BRIIANT—Flowers of largest size, with finely veined center and outer border of distinct 
contrasting colors. The ground color is white, elegantly penciled with deep rose, florets edged and varied 
with crimson lake: both flowers and trusses are very large and striking, makes very handsome plants and is a 
constant and abundant bloomer. “Madame Bruant” is one of the grandest and most'beautiful geraniums 
ever introduced; a whole bed of it is none too much, 
MAD. JULIAN—Semi-double, immense florets form trusses of very large size; center tender pink with wide pure white; border, one of the most beautiful var¬ 
ieties ever seen, extra fine for bedding, and also for house culture. 
MRS. E. G. HILL—For those unacquainted with the variety we would say it is the most distinct and pleasing shade of salmon, with light shading to the 
center. The finest single, salmon-flowered geranium to date. One of the freest bloomers, continually, covered, v/ith flowers. 1 
S. A. NUTT—The best crimson bedding Geranium. This, the finest of dark crimson Geraniums, has now taken the,lead as a bedding variety, being used in the 
largest parks and- public grounds of the country in preference to all others. Its dense,, compact growth, profuse blooming qualities and sun proof constitution com¬ 
bined give it the prominence as a bedder. As a pot plant it cannot be excelled, as it does not make tjie long, .stragly growth so many other geraniums do in winter, 
ROSE-SCENTED GERANIUM—A favorite old plant quite indispensable for window gardens. Grown for the delightful fragrance of its foliage and most 
useful in rpaking up bouquets. 
IVY-LEAVED GERA NIUM—Galilee. Should be planted even more than at present for there-is nothing more desirable for baskets, vases, or for any pur¬ 
pose where trailing or climbing plant may be used. Rich, deep pink; large flowers of good substance, and not only flowers in summer but makes a beautiful plant 
for the window in winter. Any of tlie-above Geraniums, 1 3c. 3 for 3(>c. Geranium seed, sintfleaiul double mixed, 10c. 3 pkU. 25c., See page 51.

fragrance of their flowers. It is admirably adapted for bedding in 
the summer, or for pot culture, as they will bloom freely throughout 
the year if given plenty of heat. They require a sunny location, as 
they do not do well when grown in the shade. Very desirable for 
house culture, a single plant filling a whole room with perfume.

ties we have ever seen. Plant of dwarf habit, though a strong and

large white eye. The plants will flower freely during the summer,

tained. Foliage very large, truss large; color white, slightly tinted
