DESIRABLE HOUSE PLANTS
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Asparagus plumosus is one of the
most beautiful pot plants. The dark
green leaves are lacelike and fine for
cutting.
Asparagus sprengeri is for vases,
hanging baskets and brackets. The
branches droop gracefully In long.
delicate lacelike sprays and are occa-
sionally covered with delicate sweet
scented white blossoms which are sue
ceeded by scarlet berries.
II you have not provided yourself
with hanging basket they can be had
already arranged from the florist
There is nothing loyelier. Oxalis bulbs
make pretty plants and for best ef-
forts should have been bedded some
time ago.
One Of the best palms and the quick.
est growing Is the Washington filifera.
The seeds will germinate as readily
as core, and the plant will stand dust,
dry air. lack Of sunshine and general
neglect, growing right along in any
situation and with any treatment that
will keep geranium alive.
1t is compact grower, well adapted
to the living room and always orna-
mental everywhere.
Another choice palm is the Areca
.utescens. Another still as desirable
Is the Kentla fosteriana. Palms are
like one Of the family when well cared
Tor. They are always beautiful, a.
ways useful.

When peonies are grown in a sep
arate bed an edging of daffodils will
be effective with the crimson shoots
Of the peonies in April The foliage
Of many of these plants turns in au-
tumn to various shades of purple,
bronze and crimson. when the plants
again become decorative; and 1t is q
mistake to cut OF the foliage Of the
peony directly after Towering, as it
is necessary to the plant while ma.
turing its growth for next season and
makes mass Of not undecorative
green.
Tall lilies can be grown between
the peonies in border, choosing the
hardest varieties for a. cold situation.
These will make their way between
the foliage OF the peonies and look
very handsome after the peonies cease
to bloom.
Other suitable plants for massing
with peonies are the tall blue and
white delphiniums, Campanula persi-
cifolia lin blue or white), pyrethrums.
aquilegias, ETC., all Of which are
perennials. Carnations are attrac-
tive massed with peonies,, and will
do well with the same cultivation as
the peonies. For a bouquet for the
home. these splendid flowers are
unique when cut with long stems and
arrange in bowl with plenty Of
their own foliage to set them OF.

To look ones best and feel ones
best Is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-
tons and poisonous toxins before 1t is
absorbed into the blood Just as coal,
when 1t burns, leaves behind a certain
amount OF incombustible material in
the form of ashes, so the food and
drink taken each day leave In the ali
mentary organs certain amount Of
tndigestible material, which If not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow Of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it, which is a harmless means OF
washing the waste material and toxins
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary tract,
