TABLE DECORATIONS
BY EsEN Z. RExFoRD.

fancy some readers saying we can
not all have flowers for the table.
Greenhouses are not to be found in
every little village. Even if they
were, many of US could not afford to
Purchase from them except on very
extra occasions.
True, but why not grow your own
plants? Then you will be indeed in
dependent of the florist to consider
able extent.
Most women have plants in the win
dows, but the majority are not adapt
ed to table use.
The table plant for this purpose, all
things considered, is the asparagus
plumosus. It has foliage much daintier
than that of any fern.
1t can easily be made to grow in the
bushy compact form which a plant de-
signed for use on the table should
have.
This is done by pinching off the
ends Of the young fronds when they
have made a growth of IL or IS inches.
This causes the lower side branches
to spread out broadly and breadth is
secured where there would be little if
the plant were allowed to train itself.
Such plant is very attractive in it.
self with it's filmy green foliage, COM
parable only to lace, or mist. in its
delicacy.
But whenever additional brightness
is desired few long-stemmed flowers
thrust in among it's fronds will furnish
it in most delightful manner Roses,
carnations, narcissus, astilbe, stevia
all these and many more can be used
with it with most charming effect. Z
Have three or four plants OF it and
you will have but little use for the
florist. They will be quite as attrac-
tive in the window as any other plants
that can be grown there, therefore
they will serve double purpose.
Give this asparagus soil of garden
loan made light with sand. Water
moderately. Sunshine is not neces-
sary to its successful culture
Shower several times week and
keep red spiders from injuring it. Be

An Artistic Arrangement.

sure to nip off the end of each shoot,
as advised above, to make the plant
spread out well.
Many plants can be secured of the
florists and these can be divided next
season. One good sized plant can be
made to serve as half dozen small
plants in the spring, each one of which
will become quite large enough for the
table use by fall.
A combination of ferns can be easily
grown for use on the table. The broad
leaved pteris, the fine-leaved adam
tums go well together
The grace of these plants is adapted
to the table where quality is consid-
cred as more important than quantity
A combination of ferns of different
variety with plants having pretty
foliage in color is beautiful. In this
case peperomia and tradescantia are
used to supply the desired effect
Fern pans filled with small plants of
varieties best calculated to give sue
cessful results in the living room, can
be bought Of nearly all the florists.
One should not depend upon single
specimen. Have two, three or more to
admit of frequent change.
Few plants can be kept on the table
day after day without becoming un-
healthy. Have several and allow none
of them to do decorative duty for
longer than day or two at time.
At holiday time there will be at
tractive plants on the market and
some of these are admirably adapted
to table use.
There is the Jerusalem cherry,
miniature bearing scarlet. fruit. and
the ardisia, a plant with rich, dark
foliage against which its dark, red ber-
ries show to most pleasing effect.
Small plants of araucaria are not
pretty but are so peculiar in habit
that they always attract attention and
challenge admiration.
A plant of poinsettia with its scarlet
Towering will make the table radiant
with it's wealth of color.
Pots Of Roman hyacinth are charm
ing adjuncts of the breakfast table, as
are lilies of the valley or narcissus.
These will last for long time if they
are removed to the window as soon as
the meal is over.

Some Facts About Limestone.

A ton OF absolutely pure limestone
would burn to a little over half its
weight of lime, or about 1920 pounds,
which, counting 80 pounds to the
bushel. would give IA bushels of lime
to ton. The weight of the burned
product, however, generally averages
more than this. owing to impurities in
the limestone, and also because in or
binary kilns the combustion is not
complete enough to drive on all the
carbon dioxide.
A cubic foot of limestone averages
in weight from las to IT'S pounds,
which would make ton of limestone
contain from eleven to fourteen cubic
feet.
