Slipping Plants.

In taking slips from plants for root
ing many persons take off the young
branches from the sides and base of
the stock, forcing it to expend all its
energies in sending out new growth
from the top, and the result is a
''scraggy" plant. Try taking your
slips from the very top of the plant,
leaving all sprouts at the base and
sides of the old stalk, and you will
be surprised to find what nice bushy
plants you will have in short time.
Geraniums, coleus begonias and pelar-
goniums are benefited by such prun-
ing. Long branches of wandering jew
may be put into bottle of water and
hung behind picture so that the vines
will Irvine about it, making a pretty
decoration while the roots are form
ing and the little branches are start
ing out along the stem.-The Epito-
