ZONALE GEEANIUMS. General Collection. 



We offer here a carefully revised list of the numerous sorts in 

 cultivation ; as a rule, the scarlet varieties will stand our hot 

 summers better than the white, pmk and salmon-colored varieties, 

 which latter will most generally be found to improve in a partially 

 shady situation. 



jg^°* To grow Geraniums or in fact any other plant, it is 

 essential to their success to have a good fresh loamy soil ; 

 no amount of manuring will compensate for a lack of this requi- 

 site. Every cultivator should have a compost-heap made up of 

 sods\ud well rotted cow manure, with which to renew the beds. 

 See directions for Verbenas. The following selection is grown 

 in quantity for bedding.
