Ivy-leaved Pelargoniums. 



These are descendants from P. pellatum and 

 P. hedercefolium. The wonderfully improved 

 varieties recently raised are said to have had 

 their origin in a chance cross between an Ivy- 

 leaved variety and a Zonal variety, which was 

 obtained in a garden in Nice by M. Jean Sisley. 

 Since then others have made the same cross, 

 and we have now a large number of beautiful 

 varieties which are of the greatest value in the 

 garden and greenhouse. 



Cultivation, — As regards propagation and soil 

 these require the same treatment as the Zonal 

 section. A stock of these should be raised 

 from cuttings every year, but instead of pruning 

 them back for the next season it will be found 

 better to grow them on, as they do not bear 

 pruning nearly so well as the Zonals. Being 

 of a semi-climbing or procumbent habit, they

are excellent for training on screens or trellises, 

 or as bushes with several sticks as supports. 

 For covering walls or training up pillars in 

 greenhouses or conservatories they are admir- 

 able, being of rapid growth. For hanging 

 baskets or large vases, too, they are most 

 effective (fig. 593).
