THE HOUSE PLANTS
BY II. 8. DoRNER.

In the potting of house plants you
can mix the proper soil yourself if
you know the needs of the different
plants. Take some old blue grass sod
and pile it up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form of dscayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent of all kinds of soil for
ported plants. There are three kinds
of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties of blooming plants.-Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part we'll rotted manure and one part
sand if the soil is heavy
For ferns, begonias and such foil
age plants.-Two parts loan, one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part
sand if soil is heavy.
For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part we'll rotted
manure, and sand to suit the texture
condition.
Use the finger test to learn if the
plants need water; when the soil
crumbles easily until dry it needs wa
ter: when 1t cakes readily there is too
much water; so do not give the plants
a little each day, but only water when
needed. Never use nozzle on the
end of hose in watering as 1t causes
the stream to pack the soil and injure
HE foliage.

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. JOHN FIEIn


Hardy bulbs should be planted q,
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending ou
bulbs much before the latter par
of September Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house is rich loan mixed with sand
II too heavy, add turfy matter te
tighten it.
Always choose well-drained 10
cality for your bulb-seed; if not nat
urally so, put at least six inches oil
broken crockery, pieces of brick, old
shoes, old bones, and the like in the
bottom Of the bed.
Never take bulbs out of the package
the florist sends them in until you
are ready to plant them Do not
leave them exposed to the light or
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be.
come soft and fiabby when exposed
to the air, because. of the evaporation
of the sap, which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened,
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow we'll in an
ordinary window in winter. but the
number that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection of
kinds, as well as to the extremes of
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected.
September is a good time to root
The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1915-05-14

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 well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the ferns
in shady corner; a north window Is a
good place.
Use as dry material oniy we'll rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half bushel of
fresh COW dung and if extra strength
be required add couple OF quarts of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa
ter.
After it has been fermented thor
oughly the coarse material will all set
tie 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 a good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take sharp knife and cut
below the joint.
Foliage plants are very easily prop.
agated, and every woman can do her
own work of this nature with great
satisfaction.

cuttings taken from soft wood plants,
put the "bloomers" for the house
should have been slipped and rooted
last May or June. Cuttings taken as
late as September of the new half
ripened wood of many ANIMALS and
perenniais will make nice house plants
and some of these should bear flowers
if well cared for.
Hardy bulbs may be planted among
shrubbery, and these will give bloom
at a time when the branches of the
shrubbery are bare of foliage, lighting
up the grounds wonderfully. The
shrubbery will in turn serve to pro-
tect the bulb flowers and foliage from
disastrous effects of early, cold rain
storms and rough spring winds.

GENERAL FLOWER HINTS

Cut and pile sod for pot compost la.
ter.
Weather seldom affects weeds adj
versely.
Heavy shade is often worse than
strong sunlight.
Sow seeds for basket plants and
window garden now.
Prune out the branches of the dahl
ia to promote development of flowers;
water well, and tie to stakes.
Prune older, weaker branches from
shrubs and roses that are done bloom
ing, and mulch roots.
Cut flowers of ANIMALS that seed
freely and prolong the season of
bloom. If allowed to mature seeds,
they cease to bloom.
For potted plants that must have
sunshine, set the pots in jardiniere,
or set in box with a packing of moss
around them to encourage moisture.

THE NATcHEz TRACE.

At the meeting in Natchez, Tuesday,
in regard to boosting the Natchez Trace
for the proposed military road, one of
the speakers. Judge McMartin, review
ed the exploits of General Jackson in
the Indian wars, the war of 1912 and
the battle OF New Orleans. He pointed
out how "Old Hickory" had chosen the
Natchez Trace as the most feasible
and logical way over which to conduct
his troops both from Nashville to New
Orleans and return. He spoke of the
Natchez Indians and their tragic his
tory, OF how they had used the trace
for tribal intercourse long before the
country had been settled by the white
men. The many other speakers con-
Cured in the opinion that any other
route but the Natchez Trace, would be
an anomoly as memorial to Jackson.
The great general went over this route
not once but many times.
c. H. Blewtee called attention to the
fact that little If anything had been
done to enlist the cooperation of the
territory south of Natchez to New
Orleans In the ght for the Trace. This
is important, but the people along the
Trace south of Natchez should not
wait to be asked, but should push
forward and work with the best until
Nov. 10, when the route will be decided
upon st Nashville.

was pointed out last week. Why don't
our officials do something to aid the
effort beng made in Mississippi?
AS the Natchez Democrat we'll says:
"Natchez and her sister cities along
he Natchez Trace route have gotten
q late start but with right and justice
on their side they should be able to
overcome this handicap If the high
way is to be memorial to General
Jackson, If it is to go over the route
most appropriate, then teh Natchez
Trace will be sure to be selected. If
the trace is to be built for military
purpose then the Natchez Trace route
will be selected because it is the most
easible route from this point of view"
