All the above are well adapted for training, and can be procured at 

 a very reasonable cost. They are valuable, too, for the conservatory 

 or greenhouse. 



The border in front of a terrace, or other wall, fence, &c, might be 

 planted with the various dwarf-growing Geraniums, which now com- 

 prise so many distinct coloured flowers and foliage. Placed in the 

 most distinct contrast with the colours of those trained, they would 

 have a pretty appearance; and some being of very tiny growth, would 

 form a very pretty edging where desirable. 



Also, instead of planting a different class of plants against the pro- 

 jecting parts, as Maurandias, &c, Geraniums of strikingly different 

 colours from those growing on either side could be appropriated with 

 effect, and would produce a more gay appearance.
