PELARGONIUMS AT WISLEY, 1910. 



A GOOD collection of these old-fasliioned and beautiful plants were sent 

 by Messrs. Dobbie and Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., V.M.H. All 

 were grown in a span-roofed house, in pots 6 or 7 inches in diameter. 

 All the stocks grew well, making large bushy plants, absolutely covered 

 with blossoms that were much admired by visitors. ' Gold Mine ' 

 appeared to be the most general favourite. These plants are very easy 

 to grow, and if attacked by insect pests fumigation or dipping in a 

 good insecticide w'ill quickly clear them.
