GERANIUMS.

Single Geraniums .—Zonal and Nosegay. 
These are of the utmost value for Conservatory decoration during the Summer and 
Autumn, and if properly 
grown, furnish gorgeous 
flowers in Winter, and 
none can fail to appre- 
ciate them for decorative 
purposes from October 
to January, a season 
when (excepting Chry- 
santhemums) there are 
no plants of easy cul- 
ture to furnish flowers. 
Considering their low 
price, their simple cul- 
tural requirements, 
freedom from insect 
enemies, and yet strik- 
ingly gorgeous appear- 
ance and usefulness for 
cut flowers, as Winter 
blooming plants they 
are indispensable. 
Plants intended for 
Winter decoration ought 
to be grown on during 
the Summer for that 
purpose alone. They 
ought not to be allowed 
to waste their strength 
in blooming in Summer 
or early Autumn. All 
the buds should be 
removed, the plants 
grown in pots out of 
doors, carefully attend- 
ed to for water, and the 
wood ripened in August 
or September ; then 
remove to a cool, airy 
house, and a few weeks 
before bloom is wanted 
place them in a tempera- 
ture of 50 to 60 degrees.
