IVY-LEAVED PELARGONIUMS. 



Much might be said conteriiiDg these 

 plants, for in addition to those which 

 are well known, and grown extensively 

 for market, there are several beautiful 

 varieties well worthy of cultivation, and 

 of these. Leopard is one of the finest. It 

 has semi-double flowers of an unusual 

 mixture of crimson and mauve tints, 

 with a crimson blotch on the upper pet- 

 als, with irregular spotting. The blotch 

 on the upper petals suggests affinity to 

 the show pelargoniums. The plant is 

 of compact habit of growth, and free- 

 flowering. Mrs. W. H. Martin is another 

 pretty variety : flowers pale mauve, hab- 

 it of growth good, and it flowers free- 

 ly. Baden Powell, a recent addition to 

 the section, has large ^emi-double flowers 

 of a soft blush color, with a tint of 

 mauve, and a distinct blotch on the upper 

 petals. Varieties having flowers of a 

 deeper tint are Mrs. J. G. Day, bright 

 scarlet; Mrs. Hawley, large flowers, 

 cerise, makes a fine pot-plant; Eyecroft 

 Surprise, and Achievement, fine pink 

 varieties, but more suitable for pot-cul- 

 ture than for planting out. 



Cuttings put in during September and 

 later will make plants for flowering in 

 the spring; but heat is required to root 

 them. After they have started to grow, 

 they should be kept close to the glass, 

 and afforded plenty of fresh air, essen- 

 tial at all times, and more particularly 

 during the winter. Established plants 

 may be kept cool and dry until the days 

 lengthen, when a little warmth may be 

 afforded them. The shoots may be 

 stopped if the plants are not well 

 branched. In potting, make use of good 

 loam, with sufficient sand to keep it

open, and pot moderately firmly. It is 

 an error in practice to let pot-plants get 

 very dry when making growth, and too 

 much water is equally damaging. 



The greatest drawback in the cultiva- 

 tion of Ivy-leaved Pelargoniums is their 

 liability to attacks of green-fly and oth- 

 er insects, which, however, may be over- 

 come by fumigation or dipping in an 

 insecticide. If the plants are thorough- 

 ly cleansed before the flowering period, 

 there will be little trouble with them 

 afterwards; but should green-fly appear, 

 it must be destroyed before the leaves 

 curl'. The varieties that are inclined to 

 run up tall may be kept lower by pinch- 

 ing out the points; and more flower will 

 be produced on the dwarf, compact 

 plants than on those allowed to grow 

 up tall, or which are trained without 

 stopping. — A. Hemsley in Gardeners'
