PLANTS HER PETS.

Dear Little Men mad Little Women: Having read
so many letters from other Little Men and Little
Women about their pets thought would write
you about mine. They Of a different kind, for
they are plants; but I they are just as
interesting as either walking or flying pets.
One Of mine is aZalea. which have had for
the last four years; II IS in full bloom just now
After 1t is through blooming Ghe flowers last from
three to six weeks before they fade l plant the
pot in a shady part of the garden. that the
plant can rest and gain strength for the next
years flowers.
Now my other pet IS a pineapple plant I got
It by twisting the green top off pineapple last
spring and putting If IN q jar of water, with the
bottom of the green's touching the water After
few weeks I noticed 1t getting roots: by au-
tumn the Jar full of long roots l then asked
q gardener at the BotaCIcaI Gardens in Bronx
Park what do, and he told me 10 plant it in a
pot of peat; that is the way they grow pineapple
plants there. AS I could not get peat, l put il In
a pot of cinders and kept it very wet and warm
1t is now growing very nicely. and hope it Will
bear fruit soon ADELE MESS (aged 10

too. love the spring but of them watch for it
so eagerly the trees and the flowers Dc The
winter sleep of Nature is never deep that size
cannot dream Of spring. and long before any OF us
had thought Of such thing the forest and the
fields had heard the call Of the south winds II
had been watching closely should have noticed
mild days February that the buds the trees
were swelling as though eager to escape from their
cramped winter quarters. and II we could have
taken a peep under ground should have found,
while the surface still covered with Zee and
snow that those wonderfully intelligent root tips
which Darwin Iikened a brain wide awake
and sending out little root hairs to take the place OF
those that shriveed un and dropped elf in the
fall
The tree has i lot to do in spring, and so il very
wisely begins early. It has to take off its storm
doors rather, split them open It has to get its
supplies out of storage and prepare them for the
table. And It has lay pipe line to carry
the food to every branch ard twg.
When the tree went to sleep in the fall it closed
up all its breathing pores-ientCes, the botanists
call thenn-by growing plate of cork beneath
them. and. Of course, it cant do much in spring
until it gets them open again. So it grows another
plate of cork beneath the storm door plate. This
plate is composed of round cells lying very loosely
together so that air and moisture pass through
the spaces and by their growth they split the
hard. close layer of cells above them.
For months before it went to sleep, q ali the
little people who read The Tribune Will remember,
the tree. was busy storing up great quantities of
food to feed the baby leaves and flowers in spring
until they were able to work for living. Before
II cast off its leaves it took from them all the food
they had and stored it in the trunk and branches
and then It locked everything up 50 securely that
no foolish bud, mistakng a warm day for spring.
as buds sometimes do, could possibly get at il. 1t
could get little food stored in the cells around It,
but il couldn't get into the jam closet In summer
the sap which carries food to the various parts of
the tree circulates through layer of cells in tie
inner bark These cells have the walls that divide
them from another perforated like a sieve. and
so they are called sieve cells. In the fall the tree
closes up these holes, and they never open again
