a pretty window plant, and always does well. It needs 

 plenty of light, sun, and generous culture. 



The varieties of horse-shoe geraniums (P. zonale hybrids'), 

 are all good window flowers, and will often bloom in winter. 

 The following are the best old varieties : 



Scarlet. Dazzle, Tom Thumb, Defiance. 

 Cerise. Cerise unique. 

 Pink. Rosa mundi. 



. White. Boule de Neige, Lady Turner. 

 Variegated Leaved. Flower of the Day, Golden Chain, Alma, Bijou.

 rich colors of the foliage, yet they do well as bedding plants 

 in the summer. 

 * P. graveolens is the common rose geranium. 



THE VERBENA. 



There are few plants which lend more beauty to the 

 flower garden in summer, or enliven the green-house in 

 the winter and early spring months in a greater degree, than 

 the verbena. From the variety of colors, the rapidity of 

 propagation, the little care needed to bloom the plant in per- 

 fection, and the abundance of blossoms, it is, and always 

 must remain, a universal favorite.
