section The tuberous rooted kinds, or those belonging to 
equal s Hodrea, Dimacria, and Seymotria thrive best in an 
a dor mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand ; and when in 
-i mant state, require to be kept quite dry, which commences 
Soon as they have done flowering, and have ripened their 
VII. Grum. 745 
seeds; after which time they require to be kept in a' cool situ- 
ation, out of the reach of frost, but as soon as they begin to 
push afresh, all the old mould should be shaken out of the pots, 
and from their roots ; they should then be potted afresh in new 
mould. ln potting them care must be taken not to bury the 
heart of the plants ; after this they require a little water, and, as 
they grow, watered whenever they are dry, and if the pots get 
filled with roots they must be shifted into larger ones. ‘The 
best method of increasing them is by the little tubers, which issue 
from the old bulbs, planted singly in small pots, with their tops 
above the surface, and kept dry until they begin to grow, when 
they should be watered. The commoner, free growing, shrubby 
kinds will thrive well in a rich loamy soil, or a mixture of loam 
and decayed leaves. The dwarfer woody kinds, as P. tricolor, 
élegans, and ovale, thrive best in a mixture of loam, peat, and 
sand; the pots should be well drained with potsherds. The 
fleshy stemmed serts succeed best in rather more than one-third 
of fine sand, the same quantity of turfy loam, and the remainder 
of peat; the pots also require to be well drained with pot-sherds, 
very little water is requisite when they are not in a vigorous state. 
Young cuttings of all the shrubby kinds strike root freely under 
hand-glasses, in the same kind of soil recommended for the 
plants, or in pots without being covered by glasses, placed in a 
shady situation. Many of the kinds may be increased by slips 
from the roots. No genus is more liable to sport into hybrids 
than Pelargonium by promiscuous impregnation. Al] the fine 
hybrid varieties in the gardens have been obtained by impreg- 
nating one sort with the pollen of another, by cutting out the 
anthers of the plant intended for the female parent before they 
burst, and impregnating the stigmas with the pollen of another. 
The object of this should be to obtain a superior variety ; there- 
fore particular attention should be paid to those plants intended 
for the parents, and more so to that intended for the male parent ; 
for it has been observed that seedlings approach nearer to the 
male than the female parent. To grow geraniums in rooms, 
they require as much air and light as can possibly be given 
them, and watered regularly when dry ; and when the leaves get 
dusty, to clean them well with a sponge and water.

genus really belongs to Geraniacee ; the habits of the plants are 
like those of Monsònia, but the structure of the fruit and the 
seeds come nearer to Neuràda; both genera perhaps more 
properly belong to Malvaceae, but De Candolle has placed them 
in Rosaceae, where they form a separate section, called A curadee.
