CULTIVATION OF SMILAX.-Mr. j. Wick
than whom there Is no better authority as
florist, gives the following directions for the
household culture for this plant, now so much
used in floral decorations, for twining in he
hair and trimming party dresses With little
care il can be grown successfully "a a house
pots in the house, and should be kept moist till
the young plants appear. The seeds being
rather slow to terminate, you must not think it
bad II it does not make its appearance in two
into three-inch pots as soon as they are three or
four inches high. Once year the bulbs should
be allowed to dry off and rest. They will start
into growth again in about six weeks. The
vine does not require the full sun, but it WI
grow well in partially shaded situation. 1t
can be trained on a small thread across the
window or around pictures. 1t is q climbing
vine; and will attach itself to a string in lust
the right condition TO use, for wreaths, etc., or
when required for lighter work, the branches
which become entang,ed can be separated.
