PELARGONIUMS 
There are four groups of pelargoniums: 
1. The zonal, commonly called geraniums. 
2. The ivy leaved geraniums. 
3. The pelargoniums or Lady (or Martha) 
Washington Geraniums. 
4. Scented leaved geraniums. 
Pelargoniums rank high among our most beau¬ 
tiful spring and summer flowering plants. They 
offer a rich and varied assortment of colors and 
combinations. The demand for good Pelargoniums 
is always increasing and we have kept pace with 
it, our comprehensive collection including the finest 
varieties both new and old. They are large flow¬ 
ered and bloom freely. When well grown in pots, 
they make splendid specimens and if carefully 
pinched out for proper shaping, they rival azaleas 
in beauty. 
Cuttings may be taken from outdoor stock 
plants from early fall to spring. Place in sand im¬ 
mediately. As soon as thoroughly calloused and 
showing roots, pot. Soil for potting should be a 
pliable loam with no manure or fertilizer. Use only 
a sprinkling of sand and peat. After the cuttings 
are potted they should be thoroughly watered im¬ 
mediately and watched closely so as not to allow 
them to wilt. Do not water again, after the first 
time, until the soil is dry. Protection from the sun 
and wind should be given by the use of papers for 
the first few days after potting. Use shading as lit¬ 
tle as possible and just enough to prevent wilting. 
In the winter no shading will be needed. 
When rooted shift them to three inch pots, 
using a heavier compost. Add to this a four inch 
pot full of 4-12-4 (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potas¬ 
sium) fertilizer with each two bushels soil. Give
