POPULAK GARDEN PLANTS.

As a variation, a stock of these Zonals will, 

 if grown as standards, serve a distinctly good 

 purpose for grouping with other plants of 

 dwarfer growth. It will probably take two 

 seasons to obtain a stem of say 3 feet in height 

 with a little head as a start. These in another 

 season or two will have formed good heads. 

 The balls of standards ought to be slightly re- 



A good example of a pot-grown Zonnl Pelargonium in November 



duced every spring, otherwise they will get into 

 too large pots. 



The soil for Zonals should be of turfy loam 

 and leaf-mould. If, however, the latter fails, 

 use a little peat instead, with silver sand in any 

 case as an addition.

The large-flowered or Show varieties (fig. 592) 

 are the progeny of P. cucullatum and P. grandi- 

 florum; the parentage of the Fancy varieties 

 appears to be unknown. Although not so popu- 

 lar as formerly, they still have many admirers, 

 large specimens being not unfrequently seen at 

 provincial flower-shows. Mr. Turner of Slough 

 is one of the principal growers of this section, 

 plants 5 feet in diameter bearing 150 trusses of 

 flowers being produced by him in about four 

 years from cuttings.
