plants in this manner. as most be-
ginnors do. could see the florist water

were being drowned. but they would

would be OF much benefit
The florist waters his plants with
few exceptions) either daily. every
other day or twice a week. according
to the weather. and when the water
ing is done the soil about the plant is
completely saturated. The pot being
well provided at the bottom with
drainage material-usually broken
pieces of pots-the surplus water
passes of. yet the soil is so wet that
the roots can absorb from It all the
moisture required for the best devel-
opment OF top growth.
One watering of this kind a week
will do vastly more good TO the plants
than the daily sprinkling so generally
practiced.
