ABOUT HOUSE PLANTS

Keep palm leaves clean.
Sow mignonette in pots for early
spring towering.
Spread sand at the base of the leaf
stalks, of newlypotted primulas. Ex-
cess of water will do great damage.
Occasionally give sulphate of ammo
MIA, half an ounce to gallon Of
water.
To keep geraniums in bloom give
a temperature of Go degrees during
the day and 90 degrees at night Avoid
giving them too much water and toe
much artificial manure.
A suitable range OF temperature for
lily of the valley in pots is from so
degrees at night to 90 degrees by day
Use plenty of tepid water. If forced
too rapidly, spikes will appear ahead
of the leaves.
Keep camellia plants cool and
thin out the buds if too numerous
They must not want for water and a

wraps for spring are merely capes, in
one shape or another. joined to collar
cites made of the same material.
Besides these frivolous and dressy
little wraps there are innumerable
cape collars of organdie or other sheer
stuffs for indoor wear. Two of them
are shown here. One is a dainty and
demure looking furbelow with a plain
band about the neck and a hemstitched
edge 1t fastens at one side with a
row of small crocheted buttons and
is ornamented by an insertion of mar
row val lace very neatly set in about
two inches from the edge.
At the left of the picture the cape of
organdie joins high turnover collar
by means of a row of hemstitehing.
This collar is plated across the back
and has rather deep points at the front
where it opens in V at the throat.
Val lace. having square mesh, is set
to the edges with seant fullness, and
two rows OF hemstitehing are placed
above it in the organdie. This collar
fastens at the front with single small
pearl button.

THE WINDOW GARDEN
BY BESSIE L. PUTNAM.

On cold. windy day. avoid placing
potted plants on the ledge formed by
the meeting of the upper and lower
sash.
Unless the window is more than usu-
ally tight, there will be cold draft
which is always injurious to plants,
especially when applied to the roots.
Sunshine in midwinter is always
welcome to plant life, yet this should
be given in moderation. If the plants
are crowded up against the pane, test
as TO whether the glass may not be-
come too heated.
Plant starvation is common occur
renee in the winter, especially on the
farm. City growers, accustomed to
buying not only plant food but even
soil. are appreciatiye of the need of
replenishing.
But we who have always been ac-
customed to getting the soil from our
own land, sometimes fail to appreciate
how quickly the small pot of earth is
exhausted of its nutrient qualities.
There are prepared plant foods more
agreeable to use indoors than fertil-
izers from the barnyard, but none more
efficient.
AS it is inconvenient to get this in
zero weather, some prefer to fill sack
with fertilizer from the stable and
keep this in a crock or pail, covering
with water frequently for immediate
use.
1t adds pleasure to watch the growth
of the unfamiliar. And too, one learns

Some think they have better success
growing geraniums in tin cans, quart

their plants certainly justify the claims,
OF course the holes must be made

The plant syringe is most useful,
as it sends spray with much force,
easily routing the red spider and at
the same time removing dust. The
kind with bent necks are decidedly
preferable. as they touch both the up

Avoid crowding the plants. In the

to seeing them crowded together al

remember that he can turn on the
hose at any time and water the plants

Use as careful discrimination in
grouping your window plants as you
do with those on the lawn. A scarlet
geranium in juxtaposition with the
crimson impatiens is discordant IN
either place.
