The flowers are borne on bold trusses of enormous size, almost spherical, and as many as sixty flor- ets have been counted on a single truss.

It makes a compact, dense growth, and has all the qualities that go to make the perfect bedder that it is. Fine also in pots. Try a dozen or more of this beauti- ful Geranium in a bed or clump, and it will delight you with
