WITH YOUR HOUSE PLANTS

II possible arrange some kind or
curtain, to cut off the window gar
den from the rest Of the room, when
sweeping or dusting, or when airing
the room during severe weather. Dust
is very bad for the growing plants,
and the cold air chills them, often be-
ing fatal to the life of plant.
Keep water on the heating stove
at all times, to supply the moisture.
Once a week or oftener, when the
weather is very cold, and the air OF
a room is, of necessity, dry and hot,
put horseshoe, or other piece OF
iron in the fire, and get it red hot.
Then drop it in a pail Of water, set
underneath the window garden.
Do not be discouraged if your young
plants seem to be stunted, and are
slow of growth, and neglect them.
All at once they will change their
ways, and surprise you with their
growth and beauty.
grown, so-called papyrus, or umbrella
plant, one cannot realize its decorat-
ing possibilities. Like the Gala, 1t
likes plenty of water to stand in.
The mealy bug, which resembles
-four lodged in the axis Of the leaves,
can be dislodged with a strong spray
of water. Tobacco tea, weak solu-
ton of coal oil emulsion, whale oil,
soapsuds, and equal parts Of snuff and
sulphur, applied with powder gun,
will clean the plants Of this pest.
There are two methods by which
you may decide if a plant needs wa
ter by sound and by touch. When
you tap the pot, and hear hollow
sound, and when you touch the sur
face of the soil, and find it dusty you
may know your plants need watering.

HOW FLORAL NOVELTIES ARE
DEVELOPED
BY E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Anyone can cultivate flowers who
has the necessary earth and seed. AT
least, anyone can cultivate flowers or
existing species, but the fad Of the
hour. the work of creating types, Is
very fascinating, and opens a new
world to one who has been taught
how nature works to make all things
different. We who work with her find
much delight in the new thoughts as
we'll as the new creation.
The value of novelty depends upon
its popularity or use. 1t is a great
delight to the grower to discover a
blossom which shows a decided ten
dency to break away from established
rules; to show the characteristics OF
new type. At once we feel a desire
to help this development by selection
or crossing. This consumes time. BY
selection the new flower must be al
lowed to develop and seed, and the
other plants destroyed. The seeds,
when planted, must be again selected
and the rogues destroyed.
The rogues in the flower world are
the plants that do not come true, and
they must be destroyed. After the
selection has been made sufficiently,
the type is fixed and the flower estab-
lished.
When crossing is done to develop
novelties, two plants are selected for
the parents of the new flower; two
plants possessing qualities which,
when blended, may produce desired
results. These flowers are crossed
and the seeds planted. The plant chill
dren are carefully watched until they
develop and bloom; then selection is
made of the best for further develop
ment. 1t may be something very
beautiful will develop from the first
cross; perhaps they are commonplace
results only.
The secret in developing novelties
lies in being quick to see possibilities
and then to develop the tendencies dis
played by the flower.

box, placed in the greenhouse, will
give supply of green mint all winter.
Mulching consists Of spreading ma
nure or litter on the ground under
plants and over roots. Mulching does
not mean to spade the manure or litter
in, nor to put it under the ground.
Manure should be supplied occa-
sionally as a surface dressing under
evergreen and deciduous trees and
shrubs. Apply several inches in the
autumn and work it into the soil in the
spring.
When the soil becomes hard in the
pots in the greenhouse remove it and
replace with fresh earth.
Give chrysanthemums under glass
