TO CORRESPONDENTS.
FANCY Geranium (F.G., Ponsonby.)—Fancy geraniums ought to lie cut. back after flowerins;. Whenever tho Mowers are gono, cut oaoh of this year's shoots back to tha base of the last growth, leaving ono good bud at tho baso. This will start into growth. As soon as it has mado an inch and a half in growth, nip off the point of the shoot. This will induce several laterals to grow. These, again, should be stopped whon they attain about two inches, continuing thus until about two months before the plant is wanted for flowering. Of course, a different systom is required by the other classes of geraniums.
