PELARGONIUM CULTURE. Propagation by Seed is 

 the only way to raise superior varieties. The first and 

 most important of their qualities is form, the next is 

 substance, the next size, and the last colour. To these 

 may be added habit and truss. Save seed only from such 

 as possess already these points approaching to perfection. 

 In all attempts to hybridise, let the one to bear the seed 

 possess the property of form. In order to obtain the other 

 properties wanting, cut off the anthers of the well-formed 

 variety before the pollen-cases shed their contents ; and
