POPULAR GARDEN PLANTS.

As a variation, a stock of these Zonals will, 
if grown as standards, serve a distinctly good 
purpose for grouping with other plants of 
dwarfer growth. It will probably take two 
seasons to obtain a stem of say 3 feet in height 
with a little head as a start. These in another 
season or two will have formed good heads. 
The balls of standards ought to be slightly re¬ 
duced every spring, otherwise they will get into 
too lai'ge pots. 
The soil for Zonals should be of turfy loam 
and leaf-mould. If, howevei', the latter fails, 
use a little peat instead, with silver sand in any 
case as an addition.

Show and Fancy Pelargoniums. 
The large-flowered or Show varieties (fig. 592) 
are the pi'ogeny of P. cucullatum and P. grandi- 
■Jloruni ; the parentage of the Fancy varieties 
appears to be unknown. Although not so popu¬ 
lar as formeidy, they still have many admirers, 
lai'ge specimens being not unfrecpxently seen at 
provincial flower-shows. Mi’. Turner of Slough 
is one of the principal growers of this section, 
plants 5 feet in diameter bearing 150 trusses of 
flowers being produced by him in about four 
years from cuttings. 
Culture and Propagation .—Cuttings formed of 
well - ripened stocky growths from below the 
flowering wood; if inserted early in July in 
Fig. 591.—A good example of a pot-grown Zonal Pelargonium in November.
