Text Appearing Before Image:
GERANIUMS. Alfred Tullet. A new sort just received from Eng- land, where it is considered the finest and largest single scarlet grown. An excellent out-door bedder. 15 cts. Fleur Poitevine Extra largesingle flowers, of a bril- liant rosy carmine, elegantly striped with white. Centre orange scarlet, very dwarf grower. 15 cts. Mrs. A. Blanc. This is Mr. Bruant's best introduc- tion in this color. A pure apricot salmon with rose centre. The size of the flowers is enormous. 15 cts. L'Aube. The best of all the French whites to date. Immense trusses borne on erect stems. 15 cts. SINGLE NEW LIFE GERANIUM. Introduced nearly 20 years ago at $5 per plant. This has been entirely lost in this country until now. The flowers are very large, single; some are white, some all scarlet, others striped white and scarlet; sometimes an entire spike is red, another all white. 20 cents, or with Double New Life, 30 cts. PANSY GERANIUM. Mme. Braunt. Another grand novelty. P lowers large, ivory-white, veined with lake, blending into a beautiful aureole of bright solferino. 20 cts.; the 3 Geraniums, 55c.

Madame Jaulin. Centre of flower delicate pink, sur- rounded by large band of white. Decidedly attractive. ISemi-double. 15 cts. PELARGONIUM. Smith's Pride. Great strides have been made in Pelargoniums, but this is decidedly the finest of all, and is now offered for the first time. Besides being exceedingly dwarf, the plant begins to bloom when only a few inches high, bearing large globular trusses of flowers resembling immense Azaleas. The blending of white, pink, carmine, or maroon, really defies des- cription. Extra fine. 30 cts. Pansy Geranium. Madame Bruant. 21 DOUBLE NEW LIFE GERANIUM. A sensational novelty sent out at $2.50 each ! ! A new departure in every way. The outer florets of a brilliant red; in the center of these appears another pure white floret, effecting a contrast difficult to realize. Plant dwarf and floriferous; al- ways scarce. 15 cts. GYNURA AURANTIACA Purple Velvet Plant seems an appropriate name, the leaves being always taken as artificial. They, and the stems are entirely covered with purple hairs. Shining, glistening, reflecting many new colors. Large yellow flowers. Extra line. 20 cts.
