The greatest fall of rain was ZONALE GEEAlflUMS AT LINTON PAEK. OME little time ago Ipointed out many oftlie qualifications whichIthought most desirablein the Zonale Geraniumfor bedding purposes,one being that the foli-age ought to be plainand bright green ratherthan marked with thehorseshoe, as a greatmany really good va-rieties are. In a sub-sequent paper Mr. Ab-bey very properly differswith me on this point, remarking on the many really goodvarieties that possess the leaf-marking, and the compa-tively few kinds without it. This I by no means deny,but, on the contrary, agree in ; and the list which I giveof the kinds grown and flowered at Linton Park duringthe past summer proves that the gi-eater number of themexhibit the horseshoe marking. But if we examine everyobject by the standard of excellence laid down as gene-rally approved of by the most able censors, it will befound that comparatively few things approach that stan-dard, and Geraniums are
