GERANIUMS NOT FLOWERING. 



I mail you under separate cover the 

 tops of two geraniums. Kindly state 

 what the trouble is and the remedy, if 

 any. The plants will not bloom. 



C. L. B. 



The tops enclosed were fine, healthy, 

 short-jointed growth and we can see 

 nothing to prevent them from flower- 

 ing. Some zonal geraniums do not flow- 

 er during the winter months; only a 

 few varieties are good for this purpose. 

 However, some varieties after years of 

 propagation will show a tendency to 

 terminate their growth with a number 

 of small leaves, a sort of rosette of 

 leaves. This growth will not flower and 

 the plant is useless for bedding or any 

 other purpose. The splendid old semi- 

 double pink, Emile de Gerardine, which 

 was our standby for years, developed 

 this tendency and we had to be care- 

 ful in the fall to select for cuttings 

 only healthy shoots that had produced 

 perfect trusees of flowers, and you will 

 have to do the same if the varieties 

 you sent have that tendency. The 

 cause of it we do not know. It can 

 hardly be called a disease. Instead of 

 the natural process, they refuse to as- 

 sume the form we call blossoms and 

 continue making small leaves. Selec- 

 tion of healthy cuttings is all the cure 

 we know of for this trouble. W. S. 



PRIMULA OBCX)NICA, 



Six weeks before Christmas my plants 

 were fine in foliage, with only one stem 

 of blooms each, but close to the crown 

 were a dozen bunches of buds. I re- 

 moved the leaves from the center of 

 the plants and up come the flower stems, 

 making the finest of plants for the holi- 

 days. Before working with Primula ob- 

 conica, oil the hands and be sure the 

 foliage is dry. J. J, L.
