PELARGONIUM, varieties. {Stork's Bill.) 



Geraniace^j. Monadelphia Heptanduia. 



[Pelaiigonium, so named from pelargos, a stork; the capsules somewhat 

 resembling 1 the head and beak of a stork.] 



No. 1. Ltne's Princess Royal. — Raised by P. E. Lyne, Esq. 



No. 2. Bassett's Glory of the West. — Raised by Mr. Thomas 

 Bassett, Priory Gardens, Bodmin, in Cornwall. The gold medal of 

 the Royal Society of Cornwall was awarded for this variety, exhibited 

 at Plymouth. 



No. 3. Lyne's Sunrise. — Also raised by P. E. Lyne, Esq. The 

 gold medal of the Royal Society of Cornwall was also awarded for 

 this variety. Additional particulars of the above are given in the 

 Cabinet Number for September. See Advertising sheet, page xiv. 



The. entire stock of the above has been purchased by Mr. W. E, 

 Rendle, Nurseryman, Union-road Nurseries, Plymouth, who now 

 offers plants for sale. Specimens have been seen at most of the 

 principal exhibitions, both at the London shows and in the country, 

 where they were deemed of first-rate character, and deserving a place 

 in every collection. 



"We have, in recent Numbers, given a description of all the first- 

 rate kinds exhibited for the first time this season ; and in no former 

 year has there been so many superior new flowers exhibited. The 

 beauty and perfection to which (in character and culture) they have 

 attained, almost compel every admirer of floral beauties to become 

 what is termed a geranium grower.
