CONSIDER THE PHL0x
By -. NJ. BENNINGTON.

Even mOralists tell us that there Is
an element in all mankind that leads
to the enjoyment Of speculation and
chance. For the qualification Of this
instinct do not know any more in
teresting study than the phlox when
one resorts to seeds for the growth Of
plants. OF course, the staid, regular
garden worker will resort to cuttings,
because no one can guess, even ap-
proximately, what will come from the
seed venture.
the seeds and watching the results.
They may be anything, from perverse
and hayward floral child to the light
Of the garden when 1t Is left to first
principles for Its start In life.
The phlox Drummondi is the first
growing wild in Texas back in 1884,
and since that time 1t has grown in
popularity. Essentially n garden flow
er, 1t fully justifies the use Of the
Greek name because 1t is literally a
flame Of light. There Is no question
but that 1t is far better for having
been planted in the fall. At the first
hint of spring it will start its growth,
and the hard treatment Of rough win
| ter will not serve to deter 1t in its de-
| termination to help brighten the world.
The one thing that phlox will not
stand is heavy clay soil. Planted
along walls and hedges, with borders
and in places where the irregular size
of the plants affords contrast in color,
there Is nothing more calculated to add
life to the garden vista than the simple
phlox.

HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Among the most beautiful and salts
factory house plants for winter are
palms. They are very strong and
hardy, and with the observation Of n
few simple rules can be kept green
and vigorous all winter. More palms
are killed by overheating than by cold.
They should have temperature Of be-
tween 80 and 90 degrees. II 1t Is not
convenient to have any room In the
house kept as cool at this, stand them
In the corner farthest from the ra-
diator, as close rs possible to the light.
but not in the glaring sun.
The worst enemy of the plants is
dust. Owing to Its smooth leaves, the
palm can be readily kept free from
this. It's leaves should be washed
with soft sponge and lukewarm wa
ter.
The watering of the plants is of
great interest. The great danger is
that the housewife will be too gener-
GUS in this respect. 1t Is difficult to
give definite rule. Generally speak
Ing, the earth in the pot should be
kept moist, but not wet. II the room
Is kept at high temperature, the plant
| will require more water thnn In q
cool place. But winter should be a
| time Of rest for the plant. It should
not do much growing, and therefore
| nourishment and water should be given
sparingly. 1t is easy to soak the soil
| Of a plant, but hard to dry 1t, once
| thoroughly wet.
Neither palm. or any other plant
should ever be put in n glazed pot. II
an ornamental pot is desired, the earth
en- pot should be set inside. A porous
pot absorbs and evaporates the mois'
ture, while In glazed pot the earth
grows sour and unfit for even very
hardy plants. There should be hole

CARE OF THE HOLLYH0CK

Keep the hollyhock flowers picked
Off. Remove them as soon as they
begin to die. This serves two pur-
poses: it makes the plant more at
tractive and 1t prevents seed from
forming. If you have noticed, there
are almost always little branches
starting about the base Of the old
plants. If seed is not allowed to de-
velop, the energy Of the plant will be
expended on these, and they will bear
a good crop of flowers late In the sea-
son. But If the plant perfects seed
they never amount to anything. See
to II that they are encouraged to
make themselves useful.

course, there are many insecticides

simple remedy, which is just as ef-
fectlve as any other. Being vege-
table poison, no great care is required
in handling or using the tobacco juice,
whereas paris green and other min
