TOO MUCH WATER
IN WINTER MAY INJURE
HOUSE PLANTS
(From Agricultural News Service Bull
letin University of Florida)

House plants do not need so much
water during winter as they 40 IN
summer. This is because the wealth
err is not so warm and the plants are
not so active in winter as in summer.
Warm weather causes them to give OIL
moisture rapidly and consequently
they must have an abundant supply
at their roots.
F. F. Halma, assistant horticultur
list to the University Of Florida Elk
pertinent Station, recommends tha'
house plants be kept rather dry In
winter, since they do better in thai
condition during cool weather. II too
much water is given the soil sours
the roots decay and plant growth Il
therefore suspended.

a majority of 1000, while the vets

Hampstead, Franklin, Middleburg,
New Windsor. Union Bridge, Mt. Airy,
and Berrett, all dry with reduced
majorities, except Taneytown, Berrett

The big surprise was i'm Westmins-

cut down to by the vets.
