NOTES ON CULTURE 
Pelargoniums and geraniums are grown in almost every type of soil. They do best in a 
medium heavy sandy loam. Soil that is very heavy should be lightened with leafmold, bean- 
straw, shavings or some form of mulch. If very much leafmold is used, some lime should be 
added. 
Watering—Wrong methods of watering is one of the commonest causes of plant loss. 
Never let your plant dry out and then give it a lot of water. This causes the leaves to turn 
yellow and finally fall off. Keep plants just moist. 
Pot Plants—During the summer months, large plants should be plunged. In cold weather, 
lessen the supply of water. 
Light—Full light should be given in cold weather. Partial shade in the hot summer 
months. 
Air—Plenty of fresh air is very desirable. 
Fertilizer—Feed occasionally with light amount of commercial fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer 
is easy to use. 
Pests—These vary in different parts of the country. Plants should be sprayed occasionally. 
Malathion is a good all-around spray.
