How to care for the Gala during the
summer, in the most satisfactory way,
seems to be question on which many
growers of it differ. Some keep it grow
ing all through the year, and because it
does comparatively well with this treat
ment, they argue that the proper way is
TO keep it growing, 1 do not agree with
them, however, because do not believe
any plant ought to be kept growing act
lively all the time. There should be a pc
Rod of rest. My plan is to put the pots
containing the plants out of doors in June,
turn them on their sides under a tree. or
in some partially sheltered place, and
there / leave them until September with
out any attention whatever. After short
time, the foliage turns yellow, and very
soon 1t drops OFF, because the soil in the
pot is becoming dry. In two weeks after
putting the pot out you would not suspect
there was live root in the soil it contains.
But the live root is there, all prepared.
OF course the soil absorbs more or less
moisture from the air, but not enough, in
an ordinary season, to keep 1t from get
ting as dry as dust One would naturally
think the root would wither away but
IT does not. Although the soil about it
seems robbed of all moisture, the root
In September L prepare fresh compost
of mucky earth, some sharp sand and
little loan. If the roots are strong good
sized ones, use an eight-inch pot to
plant them in Good drainage must be
provided, for while the plant likes great
deal of moisture at its roots while grow
ing, it does not take kindly to stagnant
water about them. Keep the soil moist
or wet by frequent applica tons of water,
rather than by combining it to the pot by
imperfect drainage. An imperfectly drain
ed soil soon becomes sour and heavy. and
this induces disease; and an unhealthy
Gala seldom gives flowers. Plant the
roots so that the crown will be two or
three inches under the soil, water well,
and in a short time young leaves will APP
pear. Then give more water, but 10 not
keep the soil very moist until strong
growth has begun. If there are two or
three good. strong roots do not separate
them, but give a larger pot. if necessary.
/ prefer to grow two or three roots of
blooming size in the same pot, because
the quantity of foliage will be much great
er than when but one root is used to
pot, and there will be as many again flow
ers. If given proper care, pot containing
two strong roots ought to have at least
one flower open and bud showing nearly

the first place, il may be stated that leaves
in the ordinary healthy state absorb lit
tie or no water from the air. There has
been much difference of opinion upon this
point and even scientists have not agreed
upon it. Gardeners sprinkle the leafy por-
tons of plants with water, and say that
the revival which takes place in whiting
leaves proves at once that the water is
absorbed. Not unfrequently the statement
Is made that field plants (such as maize)
revive at night by absorbing through the
leaves and stems the dew which is de-
posted upon them. Certainly wilted plants
do recover their fresh and
healthful appearance when copiously
showered with water, though not drop
reaches the roots. Certainly field of corn
In dry time presents a conspicuous
enough difference of appearance in the
middle of hot afternoon and the early
morning after a dewey night But do
these things and others like them show
that leaves absorb water? A little atten-
ton will show that they do not.
If the florist will take plant whose
leaves have begun to droop on account of
the want of water, and will place it under a
glass vessel, he may soon see that, with
out the addition of water at all, the leaves
become plump and assume their proper po-
sitions, as when copiously sprinkled What
can be the meaning OF this? After a lit
tie time water may be observed condens-
ing upon the inner surfaces of the glass,
in dew-hke drops. The air within the
vessel becomes saturated with moisture
from some source while the dropping
leaves are regaining their turgidty. The
fact is, that even from these wi.ted leaves,
while in the open air, large quantities of
water are escaping. If by any means
this amount is checked the continuous sup
ply from the roots soon fills the leaf-cells
and restores their healthful condition.
When the plant is showered with water,
this is exactly what takes place. It is
true, experiments have proved that leaves
may and do absorb water abundantly,
when they are immersed in the fluid, and
1t is also probably true that some water
may be absorbed by wilted leaves from
drops adhering to their surfaces; but so
far as concerns the great and useful sup
ply of water to healthy vegetation, we
may unhesitatingly conclude that leaves
have nothing to do with its absorption.
None of it comes directly from the air
Atmospheric dew does not gain entrance
to the tissues. The soil furnishes the
water, and the roots take ii up. There is
no other source nor other organs for the
work. If the roots send up as much or
more than the leaves transpire, the latter
continue turgid; If not, they WILT. ].
