free from dust.

GERANIUM. 
A group of scarlet Geraniums is a dazzling sight from 
June to November. No flowering plants are more grown 
and certainly none are more suitable for large beds 
where a mass of bloom is desired. When used in con¬ 
nection with Altcrnantheras, Coleus, and other foliage 
plants, they make an attractive display. The Silver- 
leaf Geraniums, and some of the scented varieties, form 
an excellent border for a bed of scarlet Geraniums, pro¬ 
vided they are well cared for, and the buds pinched off 
as they appear. 
The class of single varieties embraces every color from 
purple and scarlet to white. Plants make a vigorous, 
healthy growth, and bear the hottest suns admirably, 
and are, perhaps, the most useful for lawn beds. Plants 
should not be put into the ground until the weather is 
quite warm and all danger from frosty nights is over, in 
Northern States toward the last of May, and they should 
be set so that when grown they will cover the ground. 
The Geranium family is so extensive and varied that 
we have deemed it desirable to describe the characteris¬ 
tics of the best classes. Plants intended for winter¬ 
blooming should be grown in pots through the summer 
and not be allowed to bloom ; or cuttings should be 
made in September. Geraniums, to bloom well in the 
house, require to be kept quite cool and to have plenty 
of air. Z 5 cts. each ; $Z per doz., except where noted.
