TENDER BORDER AND BEDDING PLANTS. 343 
Scented or Cut-leaved Pelargoniums. — These are suit- 
able only for filling- odd corners in borders. Their chief 
beauty lies in their foliage, which is useful for cutting. In- 
creased in the same way as the Zonals. 
Standard Trained Zonals — The strong-growing sorts of 
Zonals may with a little skill and patience be trained into 
standards, with stems 3ft. or so high. To secure these strong 
cuttings should be struck and the main stem only allowed to 
grow till it has reached the desired height, all side growths 
being removed. When the desired height is obtained, pinch 
off the points and allow side growths to form. When these are 
6in. long remove their points, and when further growths are 
of similar length serve them likewise. The plants will require 
annual repotting and pruning into shape each spring. In 
June the plants can be plunged in their pots outdoors and 
removed indoors in September.
