GEUM

Hardy perennial



The introduction of the well-known double variety, Mrs. Bradshaw, which

may easily be flowered from seed in the first season, has brought the

Geum into prominence in recent years. Seed of the above-named variety

should be sown in pans in March or April and the seedlings pricked off

into boxes of rich soil when large enough. Put out in May or June and do

not let the plants suffer for want of water. Geums may also be raised

from sowings made in June or July, and transplanting in due course to

permanent quarters, in the manner usual with hardy perennials.
