This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. The following are copies of a few of the many letters which have from time to time appeared in the various horticultural periodicals relative to these plants. They may possibly he found to be interesting, tending, as they do, to show the interest that has been taken in their production and cultivation, and showing also the opinions held by the various writers upon the subject. I.--Sports Or Seedlings? The subject of Variegation in Flowers, as produced by seeds or sports, is one of great interest to physiologists as well as florists, and I am glad to see it discussed in the leading journals on gardening. Mr. Grieve does not mention whether "Mrs. Pollock" was raised from known parents, or whether it was a chance seedling. It would be satisfactory to know this. "Mrs. Pollock," whether used as the seed-bearing or as the pollen parent, seems to produce a large percentage of the curious bronzy yellow selfs now cultivated. "Golden Fleece," or a similar form, was raised by Mr. John Goode, a very intelligent young gardener, at the Bishop of Winchester's, soon after he left my garden, where he probably, with the rest of my men, became infected with the fascination of getting a cross. "Golden Chain" is said to be a very old variety, and a sport from the wild inquinans. A gold-margined sort was known to Miller. This is said still to exist in the form of a narrower-margined sort cultivated in our gardens before it was eclipsed by "Golden Chain." I have always sought the green sport from "Golden Chain," in hopes of procuring the true inquinans for comparison, but have not yet happened to meet with it. Seedlings from "Golden Chain" all came green when used as the seed parent, and not artificially fertilized. In spite of the circumstance...

Quick and reliable to grow for summer colour, and well marketed, most gardeners will have at least one pelargonium in their garden or conservatory, without realising either the number or variety of species available, nor the plant's extraordinary history. The Passion for Pelargoniums reveals the fascinating and dramatic tales of those who have been involved in finding, classifying, collecting and breeding the plants. It explodes the myth that all modern versions of the plant are descended from the oldest known variety - the seventeenth-century drab-coloured P. triste, literally translated as the sad pelargonium, and reveals that 2,000 hybrids have been developed from less than a dozen plants originally imported from the East. From the contribution of L'Heritier, whom Sir Joseph Banks named 'an impudent Frenchman', to collectors like Masson and the Marquess of Blandford (known for his 'elegant emporium'), competing nurserymen determined to make both fortunes and reputations, and the burgeoning Victorian varieties as growers searched for the holy grail of the scarlet geranium, the book recounts the plant's extraordinary history. Today, while traditional white ones, doubles, 'nosegays' and 'rosebuds' still flourish, the 'lemon-scented geranium' is only one of a number of scented varieties, while pelargoniums can have flowers of pink, red, purple, yellow or black. This is the story of how the passion felt by gardeners for their plants stirred them to bitter rivalry and criminal obsession, scandal, fraud, and fast dealing, and saw polite society being rather less than polite.
