POSSIBILITIES OF CACTI

The peculiar growth of cacti and its
possibilities of form and richness Of
effect are all too little appreciated.
There are many different type of
cacti, the leafy-stemmed variety, called
phyllocactus, is one of the most popu-
lar produces magnificent flowers and
the plant is ldsome during all the
seasons.
One Ut this group, the Queen cactus,
is often mistaken for the night-bloom-
ing cereus. The flowers are smaller,
however, and the blossoms have a de.
lightful odor. 1t blooms at night.
Then there is the humming-bird or
lobster cactus which should be seen
to be appreciated The entire plant is
covered with buds depending from the
ends, which resembles the tiny bird
in fight. The blossom is an exquisite
combination of pink and white and
blooms for weeks if not exposed to too
much heat
The cereus type is suitable for the
hanging basket and is one of the best
spring boomers. 1t requires a sandy
soil.
AS soon as the tiny red blooms APP
pear water freely and give the plant
plenty Of sunshine. Apply liquid ma
nure once a week during the growing
season, it is as beneficial to cacti as
it is to geranium.
If you have never tried growing
cacti its peculiar growth and wealth
of bloom will be a subject of interest
to you.-G. T. i.

WORK ON THE LAWN

How are the lawn and home
grounds in general? Are they all that
should make summer home life enjoy
able and a pleasing sight to the pass
erby?
If the lawn is patchy and bare in
spots, keep on seeding it the whole
summer through; the seed will final
ly catch and fiji up the bare places.
White clover is a fine lawn plant,
but many find that it dies out after
few years. White clover, as all the
clovers, is a biennial, completely dy
ing after the second year. If the lawn
is kept closely clipped, white clover
seed should be sown each fall or
spring to insure permanent stand.
The same result may be secured by
not moving in the fall, allowing the
plants to blossom and seed.

TOO MUCH WATER KILLS
PLANTS
By LIMA r. ROSE.

More plants in the window garden
are killed every year by overwhelming
than in any other way. Some persons
labor under the delusion that water
must be applied daily, and the conse-
quence is their plants are literally
drowned out, unless they happen to
have the best drainage.
Others go on the "little-and-often"
plan-that is, they apply water in
small quantities whenever they hap
pen to think of il.
The result is the surface of the soil
is kept moist and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be-
meath must be properly damp.
Nine times out of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil is dry. OF course
the roots Of the plants cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickens and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
trouble.
Now, in watering plants several
things have to be considered. First.
the nature of the plant. Some like
good deal of water, others only mod
crate amount.
Second, the soil. A close, loamy soil
dries out slowly therefore it will not
require as frequent or as large appli-
cations as a light porous soil from
which moisture evaporates rapidly.
,rI
be taken into consideration. Plants in
the sun or very warm place, will
need good deal more water than
those in full or partial shade or a low
temperature.
Fourth, the size of the pot must be
reckoned with. The soil in a large pot
will not dry out for two or three days.
but the soil in small pot will become
quite dry every day.
Fifth, dormant plant requires but
little water 1t is not in a condition
to make use of much water and an
oversupply Of it will surely result in
harm. When the plant begins to grow
then increase the quantity and proper
ton this to the development made.
All these things flust receive due
consideration by the amateur who
would know how to care for his or her
plants intelligently.
Study them. Experiment with them.
In this way you soon become familiar
with the individuality of each one and
you will be able to give to each the
care 1t needs.
We are often asked for some rules
for watering plants. 1t is impossible to
make any rule that can be followed
strictly.
The only rule have ever been able
to give is this: When the surface of
the soil looks dry, water. Use enough
to thoroughly saturate all the soil in
the pot.
You can tell about this by the es-
cape Of some at the bottom of the pot.
Then wait until the dry look appears
on the surface again and apply water
as before.
But, as have said, one will have to
modify this rule to fit the conditions.
1t is a general rule, subject to such
change as may appear necessary TO
the intelligent plant grower, who does
not believe in treating all the plants
exactly alike.
Give fertilizers to growing plants
only A plant standing still needs
none and will be injured by the appli-
cations of the food it is not in condi-
tion to make use Of.

Plant to screen the ugly views from

Get a root of the trumpet-creeper
from the woods and plant it in the

Set a strong stake beside it, and
keep the vine cut back until the
