FOLIAGE PLANTS.

The appearance of pots that contain
foliage plants can be much improved II
some of the L%ycopods or Selaginellas
are planted around the edge of the pot.
These are often called club MOSES and
are very decorative when planted
thickly.
The one most often used is ~Selaginella
Kraussiana and its close messy surface
is pretty in low fern dishes on the table
as well as for a plant edging.
The Selaginelias are treated as are
ferns and must have partial shade and
not be allowed to dry out. They do best
in a light porous soil with plenty of
sand.

Midland Winner in the Field of ri

\ Midland Winner in the Field of Art
Sometime ago The General Fire
Proofing Company, Youngstown, Ohio,
offered prizes for best designs for cata-
logue cover illustrating the companys
system of general fire-prooting for rein
forcing concrete, etc. 1t is an all-steel
concern also. The offer was sent to
schools of art all over the country, and
among the many it reached was George
A. Conlon, of Midland, student of
Maryland Institute, Baltimore. 1t was
an unpromising proposition, but George
went to work, put his best thought into
a pen-andink drawing, and sent it to
the company. Tuesday, Sth INST, he
was notified that committee of artists
had awarded him the first prize. and
with the notice came draft in the sum
of 800. Georges success in this in
stance is reckoned by his fellow-students,
associates and other friends as a consid-
cradle achievement. What is better, it
is an earnest of greater things. The
second prize was taken by a lady in
California.
