THE BEST 
ROUND-FLOWERING ZONAL PELARGONIUMS. 
SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR POT CULTURE. 
T he Zonal Pelargonium is becom- 
ing more and more popular every 
day; vide reports in and around 
London of the stands of magnificent 
blooms that we have shown throughout 
the year, the autumn and winter in 
particular. Several 100-feet houses 
are filled with Pelargoniums always in 
flower, and many are so grand in the 
winter that they are unrecognisable 
even by the raiser; in fact, no other 
flower — not even the Rose— can for a 
moment be compared with our stand of 
trusses, many of the pips measuring 
2 to 3 inches over, and as round as 
the engraving, and in some instances 
better. This may appear incredible, 
but whoever questions this are respect- 
fully invited to Swanley, no matter 
the season. To keep plants in good 
blooming condition throughout the 
year, all that is necessary is to keep 
two or three sets potted, say in March, 
July, and September, in good rich soil, 
with a plentiful supply of water, taking 
out the points of all strong-growing 
shoots, thus throwing the whole 
strength into the truss. 
We are glad to say that immense 
strides continue to be made in this 
class.
