WINDOW BOX PLANTS

One of the most promising of recent
DEVELOPMENTS in plants for indoor
growth is a variegated variety of the
popular Asparagus Sprengeri. Th-s
asparagus has long been a favorite for
window boxes and hanging baskets,
though recently it has been partially
displaced by the Plumosus sort with
its finer LEAKAGE. In the new variety
all the leaves are streaked and edged
with white, giving a much lighter eff
feet to the sprays than is possible in
the case of the older kind. This
whitish appearance seems to take away
some of the heaviness which is notice
able so often in these plants. The
sprays of the new sort are especially
effective when shown against a back
ground of the darker green of the or
binary type Consequently one or two
plants in a window box of the hers
will be very helpful in making the
foliage more attractive.
For several years the Towering be-
gonia known as Gloire de Lorraine has
been deservedly popular as a house
plant on account of its attractive foil
age and profuseness of beautiful bloom.
A new variety named in honor of Pres
ident Taft is now offered, which is
likely to make the plant even mo OF
a favorite. It's leaves are nearly double
the size of the ordinary form and
flowers are of a deeper pink color ana
larger and more expanded than the
type. Fortunately the price is reason
able, being but so cents each for well
established plants.
The latest acquisition in decorative
ferns promises to be real prize for
indoor use. 1t is called the Plumed
Scott Fern and has received many
medals from horticultural societies as
a result of expert opinion of its merits.
1t is more erect than the present form
and lacks the defects of many other
types of the Boston fern. One should
be able to get good young plants from
any florist for. so cents.

CITY PARK GREENHOUSES

All the wealth of floral beauty that
later in the year will delight the eyes
of visitors to the parks now exists in
embryo at the city greenhouses. Here
are the materials of the pictures that
the gardeners will create, and to the
development of these materials they
are now giving their attention.
Although the methods adopted are
determined by conditions that do not
affect the owners of private grounds,
there are many seasonal suggestions
of value to all in the work in progress
at the parks. Bedding plants, to be
set out about the first of May, are re-
ceiving care. Most of the slips were
rooted in sand. Then they were trans
planted into two-inch pots. Now they
are ready for shifting to three-inch
pots.
How do you know when they are
ready for shifting?" was the question
asked of one of the city florists. He
answered by tipping a little geranium
plant out of two-inch pot. The sur
face of the earth next to the inside of
the pot was network of roots. If left
too long, he explained, they become
root bound other than the geraniums,
the principal varieties grown for the
park beds are the Gamma, the Anger
atum, the Centaurea, the Saliva, the
Begonia, the Santolina, the Nirember
gia and the Helitrope.

Haf-hardy ANIMALS may be sown in
April out of doors, or in boxes, in
March or earlier. If in boxes they
should be covered or removed under
cover during the night time and dur
ing heavy rains. Those who have hot
beds may SOW the seed in February and
grow the plants in 3-inch pots for
planting outdoors in April thus gain
ing two months on those who have not
this advantage. (See instructions for
making hotbeds in calendar of opera
tions.) If sown in boxes, the boxes
should have an inch of rough soil or
gravel at the bottom for drainage;
the remainder of the box should be
filled within an inch of the top with
sifted, light, rich soil, firmly pressed,
and the seed should be sown, covered
its own depth with soil, again pressed
and watered. When the young plants
are large enough to be handled, prick
out into other boxes, planting them
about one inch apart, and, when wealth
er permits, they should afterward be
place where they are to flower.
Tender ANIMALS should be sown in
pots as follows: Take or 6-inch
flower pot, put an inch of drainage in
the bottom, then two inches of finely
sifted soil, firmly pressed, with
sprinkling of sand on top. Then sow
the seed, and do not cover, but press
into the soil. Water with a very fine
sprinkler, and cover the top of the
pot with a sheet of glass. Remove the
glass for an hour daily to dry up the
damp. When seedlings appear, gradual
ly harden them off to the air. AS soon
as they can be handled, prick out into
2-inch pots, and SHIFT again when neces-
sary.

Ernest in a playful mood dashed a

onto Ed Kirby the painter. Ed had
just taken a large brush out of the
