Marbled-leaved Zonals (Fancy ZonahJ. 
This group, distinguished hy the marbled-green of its leaf- 
blades, and the pale stripings of its stems and flower-stalks, has 
received an addition of some merit, namely : — 
Kate Creed (Creed). A free blooming variety of good quality, 
the leaves marked, in addition to the marbling, with a very dark 
zone varied in hue, and the flowers being of a light reddish- 
scarlet. 
From this group Hotspur and Zodiac were thrown out. 
Ivy -leaved. 
About a dozen varieties of this group were bedded out with but 
partial success. Peltatum elegans was very pretty, with deep rosy- 
lilac flowers of good form. Buhe of Edinhurgh, and Ariosta were

had dark zoned leaves and rose-coloured flowers. Dolly Varden 
had the golden-green leaves marked with a bronzy zone. 
Pelargoniums as Pot Plants. 
It having been found, after several years' experience, that the 
Pelargoniums of the salmon-coloured class especially, were not 
adapted for bedding purposes, while they were known to be ex- 
ceedingly ornamental as pot plants, the Floral Committee decided 
last year not to grow them and the allied kinds again in the open 
beds, but to institute a trial under glass. This was accordingly 
done, and with the results indicated below, the whites and the 
ocellate varieties — those, that is, with pale colours spotted near the 
centre or eye — being also included in the trial. 
Marks of merit were awarded to but one variety, which proved 
still more beautiful as a pot plant than it had as a bedder, 
namely : —
