copying some other plant window.
Here, as elsewhere, individuality of
taste is always to be commended.
Some like best the window box, and
wide side brackets on either side for
procumbent and wide-leaved plants;
others like a plant table with a
fringe of dropping vines all around
it, while still others prefer a plant
stand with an arch, or an aquarium
for the center of the window, with
rows of single pot brackets on either
side.
The main point is to secure thrift
ty, healthy, vigorous plants, to mas
ter the details of watering, shower
ing and fertilizing, and of keeping
them free from insects. Plants we'll
fed and well tended, with every fad
ed leaf and flower picked off, turned
often, and the soil in the pots kept
free from crust or hardness, will
bloom in the winter for mouths, and
cannot fail to make home both cheer
full and beautiful.

A Desirable House Plant.

Among the most satisfactory foil
age plants for the window garden, Or
for room decoration, are the Aspidis-
tras, the most desirable of which is
the variety with broad white striped
leaves (Aspidistra elatior variegata)
1t is of the easiest cultivation, and
stands more abuse than any other
plant we know of, yet it appreciates
proper care and attention as much
as other plants. To have the plant
thrive best, the pot in which it is
grown should be rather small, and
the soil be mixed with a liberal pro-
portion of sand. It is one of the few
plants which grow in shady place
as we'll as in a sunny situation, and
it contrasts pleasingly with other or
namental foliage plants. If matured
properly and kept clean, by washing
it's leaves about once a. week, the
plant will not fail to be a source of
and pleasure all winter

AYERS PILLS Cure Liver and Stomach Troubles.
To Keep Gut Flowers Fresh.

All leaves on the stalks of flowers
which would otherwise be in the wa
ter should be pulled before the flow
ers are put in water. With such flow
ers as lilac or any other hard stocked
sort or shrub the bark should be
peeled off as we'll as the leaves. The
flowers live much longer if these pre-
cautions are taken. Flowers that
have come through the mail should
be placed for short time in tepid
water, which will be found to revive
them immensely. A scrap of char
coal in the water is an excellent pre-.
sentative. One or two drops of am
monia or tiny pinch of salt in the
water is also beneficial. Cut the
stalks every night and renew with
fresh water. Select flower holder
large enough to accommodate the
stems without crowding them.-Ex.

Fall Planting of Flower Seeds.

The mistake usually made by the
novice is to plant too early-rather
than too late. The object of fall
planting is not to start a growth at
this season, but to place the seed in
a well-prepared, thoroughly pulver-
lied seed bed, to lie dormant all win
ter and awaken at the earliest ap-
proach of spring, gradually unfold
ing as the days grow warmer, until
they finally burst into an exuberance
of bloom and color Of course where
one has cold-frame hot-beds, or green
house, the planting may be delayed
until January or even later, but I'M
der ordinary conditions, and with
the means usually at hand, if one
will watch the season, and SOW his
seed before the heavy cold of winter
comes on, but after the ground is
sufficiently cool to prevent immedi-
ate termination, he will be rewarded
in the spring, provided he has been
careful to comply with the other
conditions to success, with as lovely
flower beds and as great a profusion
of flowers as his more fortunate
neighbor, who has all the appliances
of wealth and science. Should the
seed be planted while the ground is
still warm, and the weather after
wards be mild enough to start them
into life, the result will be that they
will either be entirely killed by the
cold, or so stunted as to be painful

Shrubs and Trees in the Door Yard.

Shrubs and Trees in the Door Yard.
There are some people who, have
unused up appearance because
they have not used good taste in the
selection of material for their clothes
or chosen the right colors for har-
mony. Everything they have on may
fit so poor and the arrangement so
bad that the effect is anything but
pleasing. So it is with some door
yards, they may contain rare plants
and beautiful vines, but in such a
Heterogeneous mass that the true
beauty is lost. In the first place all
trees or shrubbery that would in
time obstruct the view in front of
the house should be removed and
planted to one side or in the rear of
the yard Nothing gives a more ar
tistic effect in the front yard of
house than an opn bit of well kept
lawn. If any plants are set out at
all they should only be low growing
kinds. All tall growing shrubbery
should be planted to one side of the
yard letting the tallest growing
yard is large one, very beautiful
and pleasing effects can be obtained
by grouping shrubs or trees and
where plants of variagated foliage
is used, they should be planted so
that they will have back ground of
green.
1t is really too bad that so many
door yards are left unkept when they
could be made to add so much to the
appearance of the home.
Some put up the excuse that it
takes so much work. Yes, it does
take work, but we do not know of
ANYTHING that is really worth having
and that makes us better and our
lives more useful that comes without
work. There are few places where
we can have more for the same
amount of work than in Florida, if
the work is we'll directed.
There are so many trees, shrubs
and vines that will do well here if
once established, that there is very
little excuse for not having a pleas
ant yard, and a few hours work
week will keep it in order so that no
one need be ashamed for their out
side surroundings.

pot, tulips, crocuses, freezias, Chin
csc sacred lilies and paper white mar
cissus-what beauty and fragrance
the names suggest!
Then there are the standbys: Ger
aniums, petunias, Wandering Jew
and parlor ivy. Other plants largely
used now for decorative purposes are
the agaves, aloes, the hardy palms
and the sword ferns, and that odd
class of plants water hyacinths, wa
ter peoples and water lettuce. All
these are attractive and easily cared
for And even those unfortunate
persons who have no sunny window
need not despair, for begonias and
primroses will grow for them to per-
lection.
But above alias a writer in that
excellent little floral magazine, The
Mayfower, says-tO be successful
the window garden should be a pic
ture-a living, growing picture il
you will, but none the less a graphic
bit of loneliness with details wrought
by artists hand, and colors fresh
from natures palette. A crowded,
stiff, or ill-arranged collection of
plants is never pleasing, nor can a
lot of ''leggy," misshapen plants, dull
of foliage, and bare of bloom, go to
the making up of an attractive win
dow. 1t does not take many plants
to make beautiful window, but the
plants do need to be suitable ones
and in good condition, and they need
to be grouped in a pleasing, graceful
manner.
In placing ones plants, each
should fit into the general arrange
ment of the whole. There should be
no crowding or close elbowing-a
common fault to which flower enthu-
siasts are particularly liable. Give
each plant room enough so that the
eye can take in it's outlines at a
glance. Flowers struggling through
the leaves of other plants are forlOrn
rather than edifying sights. 1t adds
very much to the appearance of any
collection to have at least one or two
of what are known as specimen
plants-i. e., those of large size and
symmetrical development, and that
display handsome foliage Or flowers,
or both. These specimen plants i'm
part tone, dignity and character to
a collection. They need to be given
the most conspicuous positions, and
will stand crowding the least of all.
Equally important in the plant
window are vines. Vines are the most
graceful things in the vegetable
kingdom. With their tendrils and
curves, their festoonings and loop
ings, they embower the plant arch,
bay window recess, or window frame
into fairy-like arbor. They sway
in careless abandon from hanging
basket, or drape the sides of window
box with their leafy fringe. Few of
us make the use we might of vines
in the house, and just that far we
are losers by the omission.
There is no infexible rule for the
arrangement of other plants. One
should arrange and rearrange until
