New Bedding Geranium General FunStOn. 
A beautiful semi-double sport of the well known bedding Geranium 
Double Gen. Grant. In general habit and foliage it resembles the 
parent variety. The color is a deep salmon throughout the flower and 
a shade that does not conflict with any of the salmon varieties now on the 
market. In r our grounds the past season it has proved itself one of the best 
bedding varieties we have ever grown, flowering freely and continuously from 
early in the season until frost. 
The cut above shows a bed of this variety edged with Altemanthera Jewell 
(see page 173) planted by us in the Convention Garden at Boston, Mass., 
last year which received Honorable Mention. 
Price 25c. each, $2.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100. Not less than 50 sold at 
the 100 rate.
