A writer in the Cottage Gardener says on this subject: "Mr. Peed, gardener to T. Tredwell, had a collection of real ouriosity and great interest - one of grafted geraniums, thus: 1. Miss Emily Field, a blush-white flower. 2. Kingebury Pet, aa excellent house plant. 3. Reidii, apparently a cross from Baron Hugely alias Courcy'e Princess Royal, a fine pot plant, grafted three feet high, the two before it not quite so high. 4. Boule de Neige, grafted fifteen inches above the pot, and four feet high. 6. Commander-in-Chief, five feet high, and grafted four feet from the pot. 6. Le Titian, four feet high. 7. Brilliant ditto. And S. Attraction, three feet six inches high. A gentleman, of great skill and ingenuity, wrote to me six weeks ago, saying that geraniums would graft as freely as apple-trees, and by the same kinds of grafting; but Mr. Peed grafted all these on the continental plan of cutting off the top of the stock, and splitting the top of it in halves about an inch and a half, or not more than two inches, and wedging the end of the grafts to slip down into the slit. The union in all of them was perfect.

That, in my eyes, was the best triumph at this show".
