General Collection of Bedding Plants 
5 
Geraniums 
10 cts. each, 80 cts. for 10, $6 per 100 
Zonale, or Horseshoe, Double and Single. Indis 
pensable in any collection of plants, whether for 
house culture or bedding out, for which purpose 
they are admirably adapted. For bedding out, we 
would recommend the solid darker shades. The 
light-colored and oculated varieties are best 
adapted for pot culture. 
We do not give a list of varieties, because short 
descriptions will not convey a correct idea of 
their individual merits. Our collection has been 
very carefully selected from several hundred 
sorts, and all those we have retained are the 
cream of the old standard sorts and the newer 
introductions. The dowers include all the shades 
of scarlet, crimson, lilac, pink, salmon, white 
and striped.
