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 sub- 

 stance, the next size, and the last colour. 

 To these may he added hahit and truss. 

 Save seed only from such as possess al- 

 ready these points approaching to per- 

 fection. In alt attempts to hybridize, let 

 the one to bear the seed possess the pro- 

 perty of form. In order to obtain the 

 other properties wanting, cut off the an- 

 thers of the well-formed variety before 

 the pollen-cases shed their contents; and 

 the momentthe hybridizing is performed, 

 cover the flowers with a close-fitting cap 

 of fine muslin-net, to prevent insects 

 from carrying strange pollen to the 

 stigma dusted with pollen from such va- 

 rieties as have the desirable properties. 

 When the seed is ripe, gather it carefully, 

 and divest it of its arils, or feather-like 

 appendages, wrap it up in paper, and 

 keep it in a dry drawer, in a cool room, 

 till spring. Sow it early in March, and 

 place it in a gentle heat; a hotbed 

 that has been at work for a few weeks 

 will answer admirably. Sow in wide, 

 shallow pots, well-drained, in a light, rich
