An excellent novelty which will be in great demand for borders and edges of flower beds. It is very bushy. The leaves are bordered with pure white, and the whole plant is almost covered with lively lilac double flowers, which glare brightly on the white background of foliage.

None of these sorts grow to a height of more than six inches, and for freedom of bloom are not equalled by any sorts in cultivation. Their habit of growth is strong and sturdy, very short jointed, and consequently the appearance of the plant is compact. They will be valuable for borders of beds as well as for ribbon lines and will also be valuable in fine bedding designs and mosaic work, giving us additional colors for this class of work. This will certainly be appreciated by those floral artists who are ofttimes perplexed in trying to harmonize colors and give pleasing contrasts out of an exceedingly limited variety of plants. We are advised that more varieties of these dwarf geraniums, of new shades and colors, will be offered for sale in France this spring. After obtaining them and giving them a trial next summer, will report to the readers of the Gardeners' Monthly.
