The Wisley Viola Trial. 



The trial of Violas has this year been so successful, particularly in the 

 late spring and early summer, that it has been suggested (and the 

 Council have accepted the suggestion) that the trial should be continued 

 in 1913 with a special view to the date of the flowering of the various 

 varieties, Growers, amateur as well as trade, are therefore requested to 

 send three rooted cuttings of each variety (old as well as new), so that 

 they may be planted before the third week in October. 



Trial of Cape Pelargoniums. 



The Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have been asked to 

 endeavour to obtain an agreement on the Nomenclature of what are 

 commonly known as Cape Pelargoniums. The only practical way known 

 to the Council is to invite all growers of these plants to at once send 

 cuttings (rooted or otherwise) with the name known to the sender j 

 attached, by post to the Superintendent, R.H.S. Gardens, Wisley, Ripley, 

 Surrey. They will be potted up and next year be compared with each 

 other, and with herbarium specimens, and printed records. No Zonals 

 or Show or French Pelargoniums should be sent ; only those known as 

 * Cape.' 



If sent by post : The Superintendent, R.H.S. Gardens, Wisley,

If sent by rail : The Superintendent, R.H.S. Gardens, Wisley, Horsley i
