The value of house Is made up of
little things. 1t is the many little

round, satisfactory whole. The man

them must study the details before

will be unsatisfactory when finished.
The fact is. few families can find a

for anyone to feel really, thoroughly at

SECURE HEALTHY
PLANT GROWTH
Proper Regulation of Moisture Il
Greatest Eactor-GAvo
Water Only When
Needed.

Proper regulation of moisture is the
greatest factor in securing healthy
plant growth While plants can with.
stand great extremes In temperature
corresponding extremes in moisture
will surely tend to ruin II not kill even
the strongest.
Water should be given only when
needed. and then in such copious
quantities that the soil is thoroughly
soaked. When potting plants space
should always be left at the top for
pouring in water. An inch and q half
will suffice.
Consider the kind of plant you are
watering. Soft-stemmed kinds, espe.
cially those with large leaves. will re.
quire much more water than hard.
wooded, ow-growing kinds. While
the former easily recover from
drought, the hard-wooded suffer per.
manently from extremes.
The character Of the soil should al
so regulate watering. Heavy clay
soils sour easily, while very light loan
soils dry out quickly. and unless care
fully watched plants in them will wilt
In either case it is better to water
thoroughly and less frequently than
to water sparingly and often.
The seasons and time Of day should
also be watched. Plants not in active
growth should be watered sparingly
until they have regained their foliage.
Watering in the evening Just before
dark greatly aids fungous diseases, a.
the foliage remains wet through the
night.
