GERANIUMS. These are now pre-eminently our bodding plants, and wc depend much upon them for the 

 decoration of the flower garden . It may not be generally known to the amateur that plants from seed 

 sown early in spring will be decorative throughout the summer months ; and not only this but new 

 varieties may be raised even by those who have no better convenietice than a cucumber frame IVe 

 have devoted ourselves specially to the procuring of seed from the most eminent growers from 'flowers 

 which have been fertilized, and are certain to yield varieties of great excellence. We therefore stnuKrlv
