1t is surprising how little extent of
earth's surface is needed to root a
grape vine. If it can grow upward and
have open space enough on one or two
sides TO get plenty of sunshine, the
area in which its roots can run is a
matter OF comparatively little impor-
lance. We have seen thrifty and pro-
ductive grape vines where there was
only three feet space between a house
with its cellar wall or one side and
the street sidewalk On the other. As
the sidewalk was made of plank. the
grape roots undoubtedly extended un-
DER it. But even with this there was
scarcely space seven by twenty-fi five
feet on the earth's surface, and this
supported for years two grape vines.
each of which ran up :rellis as high
as the house. and bore every wear fine

PLATFORM FOR PLANTS.
Stand Which Enables the House,
wife to Preserve Her Floral
Pets in Cold Weather.

Various are the contrivances for hous-
ing plants through the winter in coun-
try houses. Some people do not like
their windows darkened and it is often
il matter of much anxiety how and
where the house plants can be kept.
Where windows are small a shelf on a
level with the window sill is the most
convenient, although however faithful
jy a coal fire may be kept burning
through the night, there are always a
few nights through the winter when
the temperature drops SO low that there
is danger of Jack Frost taking Il nip Of
the choicest varieties unless they are
moved out into the center of the room.
Stiff, brown wrapping paper slipped be-
tween the plants and window is usually
sufficient protection, but a flower lover
