PEL ARGO'NIUM (Geranium), Nat. Ord. Gerania'cece. 
For making floral screens, shutting 
out unsightly objects, or forming 
hedgerows in exposed situations 
for protecting more tender plants, 
Sweet Peas are invaluable . In 
shrubbery and mixed flower bor- 
ders pyramids of these supported 
by twiggy faggots are very effec- 
tive. Grown in pots they can be 
had very early in bloom to cut for 
bouquets. Sow in November and 
December, and again in spring.

Greenhouse plants. 
For the decoration of the greenhouse, no plant is more popular than this, and when well grown its effect is 
matchless. At our summer flower shows it. is always a conspicuous object; the large bold flowers of the English, 
the beautiful spotting of the French, and the elegant and delicate colours of the Fancy, make this pre-eminently 
the ladies flower. The seeds we offer have been saved from first-class show varieties, and will yield flowers of 
the most advanced types. The raising of seedlings is very simple.

For brilliant effect and continuous blooming in the flower garden , it is hardly possible to over-estimate the 
English hybrid Pentstcmons. The flowers arc large, the markings beautiful, and the colours rich and varied, 
while the habit of the plant is good and its culture simple. Of late years bedding plants have omcw/iat fieshed
