IVY-LEAVED PELARGONIUMS. 



Among the number of new varieties 

 there is nothing that supersedes the 

 favorite "Madame Crousse." which 

 has been grown for raarl^et for a num- 

 ber of years. It may be grown as a 

 dwarf bushy plant, in which state 

 when well iiowered it makes a fine 

 plant for decorations. I^rge quanti- 

 ties of plants are also used for window 

 boxes, and as a bedding plant it Is a 

 general favorite. Of those which have 

 found favor more recently, "Galilee" 

 does not spread so much as Madame 

 Crousse, but it makes a fine pot plant, 

 producing its blight rosy-pink lilos- 

 soms in great profusion. I may add 

 that this is one of the older varieties, 

 which has only recently been recog- 

 nized as a useful market plant. Rye- 

 croft Surprise is another useful va- 

 riety, but this is not quite so free 

 as a spring plant, but may be regard- 

 ed as one of the most useful autumn 

 flowering , varieties. There are few 

 plants which better repay for a li tie 

 extra care in their culture. In ther 

 proper season, well grown plants al- 

 ways find a ready sale at good prices; 

 the period when they are most in de- 

 mand being from Easter until the end 

 of June. 



To make good plants for 5-inch 

 pots, the cuttings should be put in 

 early in the autumn. The best meth- 

 od of securing good stock is to plant 

 out in a dry exposed position, giving 

 plenty of room. Short jointed cut- 

 tings with firm wood are the br-st; 

 the cuttings may be rooted in the 

 open, or in a cold frame. Potted sing- 

 ly in September and during the win- 

 ter, they should be kept fairly dr.v. 

 A little fire-heat may be necessary, 

 but plenty of light and air are more 

 important. They may be stopped 

 once or twice, and should be ready 

 for their flowering-pots early in Jan- 

 uary. The potting compost should not 

 be too rich, and may be pressed firm- 

 ly. If the plants have been kept short 

 and sturdj\ they will not require 

 sticks until after they are potted into 

 their flowering-pots; but this should 

 be done before the plants begin to 

 fall over, using 2 feet long sticks. 

 After the first flower-trusses are well 

 advanced, liquid-manure may be free- 

 ly afforded to the plants, and if the 

 weather be dry and warm the syringe 

 may be used daily until the first flow- 

 ers begin to open. 



Green-fly is often very troublesome. 

 and if allowed to get well established. 

 it will be found difllcult to eradicate, 

 as the leaves curl up and protect them 

 from the effects of fumigation. On 

 the first appearance, or even before 

 any fly can be seen, it will be advis- 

 able to fumigate periodically; or if 

 the fly gets a start when it is too 

 windy for fumigating, the plants 

 should be "dipped" in an insecticide. 

 Of white-flowering varieties, "Kate 

 Wilson" is the best, and is most use- 

 ful as a basket plant. — A. Hemsley, in 

 Gardeners' Chronicle.
