The Godetia, or "Satin Flower," is a low growing annual, bearing large, wide-open, shin- ing, satinv flowers of white, lilac, rose and deep shades of pink and crimson, delicately shaded and spotted. They bloom in such abundance as almost to hide the foliage* and when massed together make a brilliant show and are especially adapted for an edging plant. They will thrive even'in shady places where nothing else'will, and being so gay and bright, and of easv cultivation, thev mav well be included in the chil- dren's bed. Mixed.* 3 cts. GERANIUM.

My mixture includes a splendid strain of new Zonale varieties and the much prized Lady Washington and Apple-Scented Geraniums.
