We here offer five of the choicest new kinds of this, the most beautiful of all Geraniums. Price, 25c each; or the five varieties for 81. You cannot buy these charming varieties as cheaply elsewhere. These are more commonly known as Lady Washington Ge- raniums. The flowers have deep blotches on the upper petals and bright spots on the lower ones. When in bloom during the months of May and June they are very beautiful and or- namental, either as pot plants or in the garden. Although their time of blooming is short, their great beauty while in flower makes them very desirable. We offer a number of the newest varieties. MRS. ROBERT SANDIFORD. (The new Double White.)
