REPORT OX ZONAL PELARGONIUMS AT CHISWICK. 



1S97-98. 



A collection of 293 varieties of Pelargoniums was received at 

 the Society's Gardens in the spring of 1897. Four plants of each 

 variety were grown — two in pots for winter flowering and two in 

 beds in the open air. Those planted outside did fairly well, but 

 the flowers of those indoors were so much damaged by fogs that 

 it was decided to continue the trial in 1S96. This year, fogs 

 being less prevalent, the plants were more satisfactory, but the 

 long drought greatly interfered with the proper development of 

 those outside. The silver, gold, bronze, and yellow-leaved varie- 

 ties were grown out of doors only, and those of the green-leaved 

 varieties that did well outside are shown by an asterisk (*); The 

 plants were examined by the Floral Committee on several 

 occasions.
