Geraniums for Summer or Win- 

 ter Bloom? 



IF YOU have geraniums in flower during the sum- 

 mer you cannot have flowers from the same 

 plants during the winter. This is a great surprise 

 to some people who look upon the plant as a sort 

 of continuou? flowering performance. 



To have large flowers during the winter in the 

 house, take cuttings of the varieties you like in 



Open up the geranium plant and stake down the stalks 

 to make a spreading plant 



March or April, root them in sand and then pot 

 up into thumb pots. Later shift into 4-inch and 

 make the final shift to 6-inch pots. As soon as 

 the weather is warm enough plunge the plants into 

 the ground, out-of-doors. Allow no buds to mature. 

 Open up the plant — that is, cut out leaves and 

 branches so that the light can pass through. Train 

 the plant flat by tying the stalks with raffia 

 or pinning down with wires, as shown in the 

 pictures. 

 Toward the end of the summer harden off the 



The result — a fine bushy plant for the window garden 



plants by withholding water. Do not let them suffer 

 for lack of moisture, but keep them rather dry. Just 

 before cold weather take the geraniums into the house. 



At that period, you should have plants that are 

 low, well spread out, with well ripened wood that is 

 ready to send out flowers from every shoot. When 

 the blossoms appear, a little feeding will help the 

 color and size of the flowers.
