Ivy “Leaved = - 
Pelargonium 
- On a Wall Outside. = 
Some gardeners who wish for a large 
quantity of .bloom for cutting over as long 
a period as possible plant out Ivy-leaved 
Pelargoniums against the walls of a 
greenhouse, but, of course, inside. The 
object is secured thereby to a certain ex¬ 
tent, but if it were possible to grow the 
same varieties out of doors under the in¬ 
fluence of sunshine the quantity of blos¬ 
som would be much more extensive. 
The accompanying illustration shows 
an Ivy-leaved Pelargonium planted 
against the wall of a house in a builder's 
yard in Guernsey. It had grown in that 
position for five years, the fresh growths 
being fastened to the wall from time to 
time. In the course of that time one plant 
covered an area of wall 16 ft. by 16 ft., 
and, as may be seen from the illustration, 
it was simply covered with hundreds of 
blooms and probably hundreds of trusses, 
but readers can count for themselves if 
they so desire. 
Along the southern coast of England 
and western coast where not too much ex¬ 
posed to wind, it is possible to grow Pelar- 
Ivy-Leaved Pelargonium on a wail outside.
