The number of high-coloured Bedding Pelargoniums has now 
become so overwhelming that the Committee was led to give its 
attention to the expurgation of varieties which in its opinion were 
not equal to others of similar character. The result of the scrutiny 
was, that the following sorts were struck out of the list of sorts to 
be cultivated at Chiswick. It is at the same time to be noted that 
many good varieties will be found amongst those thus set aside, 
simply because the lists are overcrowded: —
