REPORT ON ZONAL PELARGONIUMS AT CHISWICK, 
1897-98. 
A collection of 293 varieties of Pelargoniums was received at 
the Society’s Gardens in the spring of 1897. Four plants of each 
variety were grown—two in pots for winter flowering and two in 
beds in the open air. Those planted outside did fairly well, but 
the flowers of those indoors were so much damaged by fogs that 
it was decided to continue the trial in 1898. This year, fogs 
being less prevalent, the plants were more satisfactory, but the 
long drought greatly interfered with the proper development of 
those outside. The silver, gold, bronze, and yellow-leaved varie¬ 
ties were grown out of doors only, and those of the green-leaved 
varieties that did well outside are shown by an asterisk (*). The 
plants were examined by the Floral Committee on several 
occasions.
