GERANIUMS. 



The geranium, or more correctly the "Zonal Geranium" to distinguish it from 

 the Crane's Bill, or the true wild geranium, is essentially a people's flower. It i? a 

 bedding plant and a greenhouse plant as well. On account of its remarkable vitality. 

 X>er9istence, and freedom from diseases and pests it is perhaps the best known and 

 most reliable house plant in existence. It is easy to grow, may be propagated readily, 

 and blooms freely. It will stand more abu,se than any other flowering plant of like 

 qualities, and is not particular as to soil. Amongst modern geraniums are many of 

 beautiful and pleasing colours. With all these qualities and merits it is likely long to 

 retain its popularity. 



Propagation is generally by means of cuttings which root easily when planted in 

 sand or a light type of soil. Cuttings may be taken at any time but about August or 



Ottaava.
