Various Questions Who will Answer
Them?
Editor Floral Department:
Iwould like to know of some plants that
thrive on fat land during the rainy sea-
son, as the frequent drenchings destroy
the beauty of nearly all my flowers. Then
the hot sun SO scalds the earth around
them that it requires constant care to
keep the young plants of less hardy varie-
ties in a thrifty condition. l had less
trouble all through the drouth of May
In fact did not lose a plant, with the ex-
ception of two roses. AS / have succeeded
in raising four out of six (from cuttings
put out in the open ground just after
Christmas) | ought not to complain, al
though they we're of rare roses, and sent
long distance. would like to get my
young roses to bloom in the winter.
Would they do so if taken up now and
planted in boxes?
Last winter I had no house plants, and
am determined this want shall not be
felt again. | wish some one to tell me
what plants will flourish best in the house
when our outdoor beauties have lost their
attractiveness. 1t is rather early to plan
for this, but "forewarned is forearmed"
you know.
[ intend growing some Balsom vines
in pots; their delicate foliage and pale
yellow blossoms will well repay me for my
care, even if they produce no fruit. By
the way, the little bright red apples now
hang in dozens from my vines-a very
pretty sight.
think some of the ordinary summer
garden flowers may be cultivated in doors
in winter, as there are but few days when
they could not have several hours airing,
and might do better if placed on the ver-
andah altogether, only removed into the
house on cool nights. Has any one tried
to grow Madeira vines in the house? They
brighten a window beautifully in winter
in the North. / think I shall try some
here.
, was told in Texas, where | first saw
it, that the Luffa, or Vegetable Sponge
sometimes called "dish-rag gourd, "ughD
was often used by ladies there during the
war for bonnets. A bow or two, or a
feather placed on it, with strings to tie
not the whole gourd, but the spongy in
side fabric; and it was said to be becom-
ing to a young and pretty face. There
might be differences of opinion on this
point, however. planted the seed quite
late last year, but the summer rains de-
stroyed the young gourds, for which had
a dozen uses in anticipation, as well as
my hopesfor seed forthis year. Has any
one grown the ornamental cucumber?
