BEDDING GERANIUM, SINGLE GENERAL GRANT. 
It is a brilliant orange-scarlet, the flowers are produced in mar¬ 
vellous profusion, the habit is perfect, semi-dwarf, branching and com¬ 
pact. On the whole, Single Geraniums are even more satisfactory for bed¬ 
ding than the Double ones, as in a very short time after a summer storm, they 
are as fresh as before without any hand cleaning; the double flowers, on the 
other hand, have to be cleaned off and they are long in appearing after a storm. (See 
cut.) Price, 10c. each, SI.00 per doz., S8.00 per 100.

Silver-Leaved Geranium, S. A. NUTT. 
The foliage resembles the well-known variety, Madame Sol- 
leroi, while in the habit and flower, and freedom of bloom, it is 
almost an exact reproduction of the well-known double crimson 
variety, S. A. Nutt. It is a vigorous grower and free bloomer. The 
trusses are of good size, held well above the foliage, and are freely 
produced. Price, 15c. each, SI.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 
Double Pink Silver-Leaved, MRS. PARKER.

Variegated Geranium, HAPPY THOUGHT. 
One of the most novel and unique forms of variegation in 
horticulture is displayed in this variety. As a rule, variegation 
takes the form of stripes or blotches, but in this variety the centre 
of the leaf is yellow with a wide margin of vivid green. It is a 
good bedder. Flowers rich magenta-rose. 
Price, 10c. each, SI.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
