GERANIUMS 
The improvement in the Geranium, both in the size 
of the individual flower and the truss, is wonderful when 
compared with the ^flower of a doz$n years ago. Many 
of the single flowers are larger than a silver dollar, and the 
trusses are immense balls of living color; while in color we 
find from the purest white to delicate rose, brilliant scarlet, 
richest crimson, and many other shades. The foliage varie¬ 
ties are also much improved. The bronze leaf, with its 
margin of gold, zoned with chocolate and crimson, are very 
fine. The ivy-leaved section also shows great improvement, 
the flowers being equal in size and color to the best 
double and single Geraniums of the ordinary type. 
Price of all Geraniums, each, 10 cents ; three for 25 
cents; per dozen, $1.00 ; except as noted.
