Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1707. Pelargonium Radula (above) and P. Eraveolens (X ^). 1708. Pelareonium denticulatum. of fancy Pelargonium. The race is said to be derived chiefly from P. CHCtiUatumy P. angu- losum and P. grandi- florum, but the writer can see little evidence of the blood of P. gran- diflorum. It seems to be nearest to P. cu- citUatum, having the cucullate or disk- shaped not lobed Ivs. and mostly the soft-hairiness of that species. In many of them, however, the leaves are distinctly angle-lobed, suggesting P. angulosam. It is a fair question whether P. cucuUatum and P. angulosum are themselves to be considered specifically distinct. P. domesticiim is meant to comprise the whole range of garden forms of the Show or Lady Washington Pelar- goniums. The name will enable one to talk about these garden plants with precision. To many of these garden forms specific botanical names have been given, so that P. domestieiim. is not the first name that has been ap- plied in this group, but the writer is not aware that any collective or group name has been given. Sweet, in particular, has given Latin names to various forms. These old names, liowever, apply to particular histori- cal forms, and it would be violence to enlarge their application to cover the entire group, and it would be difficult to select any one of them as more applicable, under botanical rules, than others. It is also inaccurate to call this garden form either P. cuctillatum or P. an- gulosum. cc. Lvs. sharply 3-7-lohecl at\d sJiarplg toothed or serrate. 10. grandifldrum, Willd.
