ZONALE GERANIUMS, aeneral OoUectiou. 



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

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

 better than the white, pink, and salmon-colored varieties, which latter 

 will most generally be found to improve in a partially shady situation. 



jy@^ To grow Geraniums, or in fact any other plant, it is essential 

 to their success to liave a good fresh loamy soil ; no amount of manur- 

 ing will compensate for a lack of this requisite. Every cultivator 

 should have a compost heap made up of sods and well rotted cow 

 manure, with Avhich to renew the beds. See directions for Verbenas.
