GEORGI'NA. Attempts were made 

 some years since to substitute this 

 name for that of Dahlia, but the law of 

 priority settles the question. Dahlia 

 was named by the Spanish botanist 

 Cavanilles in 1701, and neither Willde- 

 now nor Sprengel's Georgina appeared 

 for more than eighty years subsequently. 



GERA'NIUM. Crane's Bill. (From 

 Geranos, a crane, referring to the beak- 

 like torus, or projection beyond the 

 seeds. Nat. ord., CrancsbiUs [Gera- 

 niacea?]. Linn., IQ-Monadelphia 6-De- 

 candria.} 



A very few require the pit or greenhouse in 

 winter, and these should have equal portions of 

 peat, loam, leaf-mould, and sand. Almost all 

 are hardy, and flourish in common ground ; 

 many grow under the shade of trees and hedges, 

 and thus secure a portion of vegetable earth. 

 There are worse things than the common weed 

 Robertianum, for twining itself round the sides 

 of a rustic basket, or crawling over a rockwork. 

 The following are a few of the best for gardens 

 Mexicanum, rubifolium, sanguineum, Lan- 

 castriense, WaUichianum,pratense flore plena, 

 Dahuricum, pilosum, and cristatum. There 

 is hardly an annual worth sowing.
