FTJCHSIA. 



Well known, hal^ hardy, perennial, deciduous shrubs, 

 ■worthy a place in every garden. The varieties are now 

 numbered by hundreds, and some are exceedingly beau- 

 tiful. They are as easily grown from seed as cuttings, 

 and from seed many improved varieties are obtained. 

 Sow in March, in shallow pots ; prick out in crocks four 

 inches in diameter, when of convenient size, where tney 

 can continue to grow till they bloom. As soon as they 

 have flowered, select such as have good points, and 

 change into larger pots. When frost appears, protect 

 the plants.

GERANTCrM-(Pelarg-omum). 



Probably the Geranium is better known and more 



universally ad- 

 mired than any 

 other plant 

 grown. The 

 constant suc- 

 cession and 

 durability o f 

 bloom till frost 

 comes, the 

 brilliancy of the 

 scarlet and oth- 

 er colors, and 

 the exquisite 

 markings of the 

 leaves of some 

 of the varieties. 

 render them 

 ver>- desirable for pot culture and bedding. No garden 

 seems complete without a bed of them, and in every col- 

 lection of conser\-atory or parlor plants we are sure to 

 find the Geranium. Propagation by seed is the only 

 sjtre way to obteiin superior varieties. Sow in March, 

 in gentle heat, in well drained pots. Water moderately, 

 and as soon as the third leaf appears, pot singly in two-
