Champion City Greenhouses, Springfield, Ohio. 39 I A FAVORITF NEW GERANIUM.
Text Appearing After Image:
LA FAVORITE. In this new Geranium, introduced last year, we believe we have the finest double white Geranium in cultivation. The single Ge- raniums are valuable for bedding, and present a beautiful effect in massing, but cannot be used for cut fioweis on account of the petals falling. On the other hand, most of the double varieties of Geraniums are useful for cut flowers. In La Favorite we have a pure, double white Geranium, as free flowering as the single varieties, and which can be used for planting in beds, for furnish- ing a supply of beautiful white flowers for vases, etc., or for pot culture tor Winter forcing. It is a dwarf, compact-growing variety, the foliage is a bright, healthy green, with a band of darker green encircling each leaf. The flowers are borne in large trusses, of the purest snow white; retains this pure whiteness even in the height of Summer, and for Winter blooming it is all that can be de- â¢sired. While "White Swan" is a beautiful variety, yet La Favorite is quite in advance of it. Do not tail to add this charming variety to your collection. 15 cents each; four for 50 cents; $1.00 per dozen. m latest Novelties in GBHA.NIUMS. PRICE, 15 CENTS EACH, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED; OR THE SET OP ELEVEN POR $1.50. White Wings.âIn White Wings we have the finest double â white Geranium ever introduced. Unlike other double white Geraniums, it is suitable for bedding, and flowers as profusely as the best single varieties. It is a dwarf, compact-growing variety, with handsome banded foliage, of a light and healthy green. The perfect double flowers are unsurpassed for cut flow- ers. They are borne in large trusses, and are spotless, snowy white, retaining their pure whiteness in the heat of Summer. Mrs. Gladstone.âGrand color, salmon pink, shading to rosy pink and orange color; particularly fine. Violet Queen.âThe truss is enormous, and is of most beau- tiful shadings of rose and heliotrope; an exceedingly fine, fancy sort and catches the eye at once. Marie Stuart.âSoft rosy scarlet, with large, white eye, very large, circular florets, forming a truss of tine size Juliet.â Clear salmon, shadingtb pearly white round the eye, a lovely delicate color, and one of the most perfectly formed flowers, both in pip and truss, ever seen. Some of our last nov- elties in this shade were so good that we quite despaired of ever making any advance upon them, but this is a genuine surprise in every way. Gettysburg.âBright crimson maroon of beautiful shade; flower very large and of fine lorm. An extra beautiful dark variety. Beauty of Richmond.âIntense orange scarlet, very daz- zling, with large, white eve, floret perfectly circular and of im- mense size, foliage lightly zoned.
