JBr&camfg pun-Frooi (^Gr&mum The hot southern sun is too severe for many of the varieties of Gerani- ums that are beautiful in our northern and western cities, and the frequent drouths bar out many more, but the Bruantii Geraniums endure sun and drouth, and upon the" return of cooler days and heavy dews they grow and bloom as if there had never been any weather of any but their choosing. It matters not what the temperature, the Bruantii are always growing, always green, and crowned with flowers from May until November. Per- haps in no other class of plants has the march of improvement advanced so rapidly. New colors, new styles, profuse blooming sortsâall these have combined to make the Bruantii Geraniums the most popular plant for bedding. Price, 10 cents each. Alfred Tennyson.
