Summer Care of House Plants.

House plants can be put out-of-duors
with entire safety now. The best place
for them is on a veranda sheltered from
the afternoon sun. Leave them in their
pots. Plan for free circulation of air
about them. DO not allow any that are
to be made use of in the house next Win
ter to bloom during the summer. Throw
their strength into the production of
branches. These should be nipped at the
cud. from time To time, To force the pro-
duction of side branches, thus securing n
bushy. compact plant, with plenty Of
Towering points. If not properly trained,
most plants adapted to house culture will
grow into awkward shapes, but with u
little attention at the proper time they
can easily he made symmetrical. The
proper time is now. while the plant is in
process of deveopment.-Outing Masa-
