The history Of the Greek race af-

INDOOR PLANTS NEED cAREI
Many Will DO Well In 0as-Liohted
Rooms IL They Are Judlclously
Selected and Tended.

One Of the great secrets in the sue
cessful cultivation Of plants in rooms
Is Judgment In selecting the right
kinds, as an experiment will soon
show, will do well In gas-lighted or
drafty rooms, others will not; so 1t Is
most essential that care should be ex-
ercised In choosing kinds adapted to
both purposes.
Those who have the good fortune to
have their rooms lighted by electricity
need not worry. because all kinds OF
plants will succeed under the latter
conditions.
The best Of all plants to grow in
gas-lighted rooms are the parior
palms.
There are two distinct kinds Of
these, one which produces very tall
leaves and another of the dwarf
growth.
If carefully watered and their
leaves sponged at least once a week,
they will thrive for years.
Another excellent plant to grow un-
der similar conditions is the fg-leaf
palm. or sc-called 'castor-oil plant"
This has giant ivy-like green leaves,
which radiate from central stem and
form handsome plant. AS it in
creases in age It is, however, apt to
lose its lower leaves, and hence some
Of its beauty.
The 'india-rubber'' plant, a brother
OF the fig tree, Is another plant which
is admirably adapted for gas-lighted
rooms.
The plant usually grows with SIN
