NEW ORCHID FLOWERED IVY- LEAVED PELARGONIUM LEOPARD. This is the most distinct novelty in the ivy- leaved section yet originated. It is absolutely dis- tinct from any other variety. The flower is large} semi-double and borne in medium-size trusses. The color is remarkable, being fully as rich and distinct as an orchid. The ground is a clear lilac pink, the upper petals being heavily blotched with deep crimson and usually marked with distinct maroon dots. The variety is unique and fully as striking as many of the orchids, many people mis- taking it for an orchid flower. This will make one of tne most distinct basket plants in cultiva- tion, and as it is as easily grown as any of the ivy-leaved geraniums it will be valuable for cut blooms, as the flowers produce the same color effects as are produced by using rare orchids. The blooms are good keepers, and will last several days after cutting. The habit is exceptionally strong and vigorous, and it flowers abundantly through the winter season. After growing this variety another season, we are more impressed than ever with its commercial value. Fine strong plants, from 2%-inch pots, for March delivery, 50 cts. each; $ per dozen; $ per 100.

This is a most unique novelty, a cross between Souv. de Chas. Turner (Ivy) and Henry Jacoby (crimson Zonale). The flower is large, most perfect inform; color intense glowing s
