The True TBltde Qeranium 
This is the true geranium, a hy¬ 
brid development, which last season at¬ 
tracted so much attention by visitors 
to our garden because of its new and 
thrilling color. The flowers are a bril¬ 
liant heavenly blue—not lavender, nor 
magenta, nor purple — the only blue 
geranium known. The illustration 
shows in small space the flower, leaf 
and seed, all beautiful in form; but the 
flowers are borne on long stems, in 
clusters, throughout the season and 
they are delicately veined. The foliage, 
which grows mostly at the base of the 
plant, is most attractive all season long; 
and the plant is hardy. 
We offer small field-grown plants, 
to bloom this season and which may be 
divided next fall, each, prepaid: 
3 plants for 65 cents; 12 for $1.15 
Seed, per packet - - - 25 cents 
SPECIES GERANIUMS 
We have a nice collection of these species, or true geraniums in separate colors of 
large veined white, (G. pratense album); pink, (G. Endressi); deep red, (G. sanguin- 
eum); large, showy violet, (G. ibericum); and silvery-lavender-blue, (G. sylvaticum). 
These are most useful as border plants because of their handsome foliage all season long, 
their attractive flowers, hardiness and freedom from disease or pest. Whilst much grown 
in England their usefulness is just beginning to be known here. 
We offer good field-grown plants, to bloom this season, each, prepaid, 25 cents. 
A collection of one each of all five kinds, prepaid, for $1.00 
Thour TKardy Terennial TBlue S^iges 
—THAT WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND. These Salvias, or Sages, are little known 
kinds, but we have found them to be most desirable garden plants, easily grown, perman¬ 
ent and hardy perennials, that increase in their mass clumps from year to year to make 
glorious effects. They are ideal plants to furnish the much desired blue shades in garden 
planting and call for little care, and they withstand drought and disease remarkably well.
