For geraniums, I put in the 'bottom of the crock a quantity of well rotted manure, then a little soil on which to set the plant, then fill the crock with the loam, firming around the plant. Fed in this way, they will •grow 1» a splendid size. Do not have the crock too large as the plant will run to leaves and will not bloom. Stones or broken crockery should !always be put in the bottom to provide drainage. If kettles or cans are used, punch holes in the bottom of the dish: Both petunias and snapdragons make fine winter bloomers. If slips are obtainable, start the same as with geraniums.
