8t i^AMILIAR GAEDEX FLOJl^EItS. 



geraniums will in due time sigli for hardy pelargoniums, 

 and it happens that there is one that may be so called^ 

 for it is a frame plant in London, but will endure the 

 winter in the open border in favourable parts of 

 Devonshire and Cornwall. This is Pelargonium evilli- 

 cherianiiin, a very interesting plant with distinctive 

 leafage, and curious flowers that appear to have but two 

 petals, for the remaining three are so small as to be prac- 

 tically invisible. A genuine lover of plants will find 

 much to interest him in the ways and manners of this 

 hardy pelargonium. There is yet another that is so nearlv 

 hardy that frame-culture will generally suffice for it, and 

 as regards interest it surpasses the one just named. It is 

 Pelargoniiun 1 rixte, the melancholy stork's-bill, the flowers 

 of which are fragrant at night only.
