GERANIUMS, IVY-LEAVED. 



Although the foliage of this class is of sufficient interest 

 to warrant its cultivation, yet the value is greatly en- 

 hanced by the beauty and profusion of its flowers during 

 the spring and summer months, running through the 

 various shades of white, pink and crimson. The list below 

 i- -elected as giving the widest range of color. They are 

 well adapted for rock-work or vases" and for drooping over 

 baskets, or trained on trellises, are unsurpassed; few plants 

 give more satisfaction for house culture, as they may be 

 trained on trellises in any shape desired.

 bulbs should be started in spring, and after blooming all

 dried off, they may be kept in a warm, dry cellar or under 

 the stage of a greenhouse.
