GERANIACEAE 
From the crane’s bill family have been chosen a few of the loveliest 
ones, tidy in habit and free of ample-sized bloom. Given sunny banks 
and ledges and ordinary loam, they ask for nothing more than to be 
let alone to bloom the summer through.

ers. 75c.

pink flowers an inch across. 75c. 
G. cinereum. Similar with ashy foliage and deeper pink flowers. 50c. 
G. Pylzowianum. Threads its way daintily from crevice to ledge on 
running rootstocks, sending up finely lobed leaves and madder-pink 
fiowers an inch across. Thrives under the most meagre conditions. 40c. 
G. sanguineum. A tangled growth of wiry branches and round lobed 
leaves; myriads of rich magenta fiowers — a high mountain color — an 
inch across. 25c. 
G. s. album. More open in habit; large snowy flowers. 35c. 
G. s. lancastriense. A prostrate mound with large shell-pink flowers ac¬ 
cented by veins of deeper color. 30c.

carmine flowers. 75c.
