HOW TO GROW PRIMR0sEs
BY BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

0y 06SSb@ " NSN"s
The best way to propagate prfn-
roses is from seeds, which should be
sown in May or June, or as soon as
the soil becomes thoroughly warm.
The seeds are quite small, but are
easily started by sowing in box or
a bed. The soil must be sifted fine
and Of moldy. consistency which will
not bake or become hard. Press the
surface of the soil smooth and level,
SOW the seed evenly and thinly, and
cover lightly. It is a mistake to sow
deeply.
The ground must be kept moist and
covered, that is, protected from the
rain, wind and hot sun, until the
plants appear. 1t requires from three
weeks to a month to bring plants to
the surface, then they must be care
fully busted with little tobacco and
sulphur mixed, to keep down the
fungus and insects.
The primrose requires moist, but
not wet soil, and II the soil Is A.
lowed to dry out before the plants ap-
pear, propagation will be greatly re-
tarded or entirely stopped.
Used in borders or in pots, the lit
tie primrose is always a beautiful
cheerful plant.

LINEN SHOULD HAVE REST
VIII Last Much Longer II Given an
Occasional LAY or for
Short Time.

Bed linen to last should not be used
every week, but should be laid away
In q chest every now and then for q
few weeks. This makes the life Of the
linen twice its usual length. Before
laying the linen away it should be
thoroughly dried and aired. Quanti-
ties of lavender should be placed in
the chest and between the linen. This
will give not only sweet and clean
scent to the linen, but will add to the
rest of the individual who sleeps in a
bed spread with it, as the psycholo-
gists have discovered that the odor Of
lavender produces rest and quiet. Law
ender should be used for bed linen
only and not for wearing apparel or
table or hand linen.
The rose scent, either in liquid form
or sachets. or the rose, petals dried.
should be the odor of the hand linen
and the table linen, which should be
laid away for several weeks at time
to rest" in order to make the life
of the linen worth the original cost.
The scent of rose on the table linen
suggests the out-of-doors and gives
an impetus to the digestion through
the aid of the olfactory nerves. On
the hand towel, as it is passed over
the face, it tends to create energy and
activity, rather than rest or inaction.
There are many kinds of odor Of rose,

housewife, another will be.

TWO TOTS IN A TOY SHOP
Little Denny Was Almost Beyond
Hope in the Eyes Of His Older
Sister, Aged Six.

She was six If she was day; she
had little fat back in little black
coat and her wisps Of red hair
matched her red tam-o' shanter. In
her firm hand she held struggling
boy about year younger, and they
were getting into the elevator at
big department store and making for
toys"
Children are not allowed, unaccom-
panied by guardians. in most large
shops, but such was her air Of re-
sponsibility, of decorum, that it would
have been a bold floorwalker who
dared to question her.
Nor, evidently, was it her first visit.
The boy, still held in leash, ran in
front and made straight for the space
devoted to Santa Claus, his reindeer
and his sleigh, piled with toys.
There was a background Of fir and
cedar and huge Christmas tree, but
the pair sat down before the fascinat.
ing old fellow In his red robe. his
long white beard, holding his big
whip, and from his face the small boy
did not turn from worshiping in SOL
emn alteration.
Across the room was creche; also
a wonderful and beautiful thing. The
infant Jesus in the manger, the moth
er in her blue robes, st. Joseph. with
his staff, the three kings resplendent.
The children had been perfectly
still for fifteen minutes looking at
Santa Claus, when the little girl whis.
pered to the boy He sQuirmed, strug-
gled, but she was too much for him.
She dislodged him from his seat,
dragged him to the creche, and with
motherly, Irish piety, pressed him on
his knees.
Reverently she described the holy
group, then would incite devotion
from more human motive.
See the COW, Denny; you mind the
COW we used to milk last summer at
the farm when we went on the fresh
air? See the goat, Denny; you mind
the goat in our alley? It's his pitcher
But Denny whined and pulled and
pulled to be back again to his idol.
The little girl looked up. Her sigh
was that given by every woman since
the beginning, for every man for
whose soul she holds herself respon-
sible.
Denny" she said, Denny likes
Santa Claus better than he likes God"

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
BY LIMA ROSE.

II you know the needs of the diff
ferent plants, you can mix the proper
soil yourself for potting your house
plants. Take some old bluegrass
sod and pile it up until it rots, and
you will have an ideal form of de-
cayed vegetable matter for the prin-
cipal constituent of all kinds of soil
for potted plants. There are three
kinds Of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties OF blooming plants-Three
parts loan from tho rotted sod, ono
part well-rotted manure and one part
sand, II the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foliage
plants-Two parts loan, one part leaf
mold or peat, and one-half part sand,
II soil is heavy.
For palms or roses-Two parts clay
loan and one part well-rotted manure,
and sand to suit the texture condi.
ton
Use the finger test to learn il the
plants need water; when it cakes
readily there is too much water; so
do not give the plants little each
day, but only water when needed.
Never use nozzle on the end of q
hose in watering, as it causes the
stream to pack the soil and injure the
foliage.
To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally, and you will have
the blooms in the room as we'll. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the
ferns in shady corner; a north win
dow Is good place.
Use as dry material only well-rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordi-
nary barrel containing one-half bushel
of fresh COW dung, and II extra
strength be required add couple of
quarts of fresh hen manure, and COW
er with water.
After 1t has been fermented thor
oughly, the coarse material will all
settle to the bottom, and you may fill
the barrel with water, and the solution
is ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation of new roots
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with, and good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take sharp knife and cut
below the joint. .
Foliage plants are very easily propa-

GARDEN NOTES

Plant hardy bulbs in the Open
ground as long as the ground can be
worked.
Gala lilies requires an abundance
of water at this season.
Make the rows in your garden
straight. Crooked rows show that
the gardener is careless and while
the straight rows may not guarantee
success they show careful attention
and are slightly.
Roses, violets, deutzias, dicentras;
daises for winter and spring forcing
should be potted and stored in tho
cellar or cold pit. In taking them
into the heat during the winter do not
commence forcing too rapidly. Tho
same applies to forcing hardy bulbs.
Avoid taking plants into the con-
servatory TOO soon after they have
been rooted. Gradually accustom
them to the confined air of the room
by keeping them indoors during cold
nights and cool weather, exposing
them fully to the air. shaded from the
direct rays of the sun, during fine
weather.
