CAMELLIAS.

Camellias are wonderfully beautiful
flowers, but recently fashion has de-
manded roses. chrysanthemurs and
carnations to the exclusion OF amel-

purely financial reasons.
Camellias are excellent plants for
the cool greenhouse. Once they were
the aristocrats of flowers in America,
occupying the position that orchids
do now. They are no less beautiful
now than then and there Is no reason
why amateurs should not grow them.
Blooming as they do in the late au-
tumn, winter and early spring. they
supply bloom at a time when flowers
are scarce.
With a little care camellias can be
grown, in the window garden where
the temperature is not too high and
fhe atmosphere not too dry.
Camellias need a cool, moist place
where the temperature does not go
over 80 to 55' degrees Fahrenheit, and
fresh air should be admitted as often
as possible without lowering the temp
erature.

FR0STBITTEN PLANTS.

Suddenly sometimes the weather
changes when It is least expected and
many house plants are frost bitten.
When plants have been touched with
frost take them to the cellar or to any
dark cool place, where the tempera-
ture is above freezing; cut off all black
parts back to where the stem Is green
and pull Off the frosted leaves. Keep
the plants in this dark place for a
day or two and gradually bring them
into the light, not exposing them to
the rays Of the sun until new growth
has started.
When a sudden change Of tempera-
ture results in frosting plants in the
conservatory cut them back and place
them under the benches and allow
them to remain there until new growth
starts. The temperature should be per-
mitted to rise only very gradually.

CAREFUL OBSERVATION NECES.
SARY FOR SUCCESS.

There cannot be complete enjoyment
from growing Towering plants unless
the gardener is sufficiently interested
to watch them closely, observing daily
changes, trying different experiments
and carefully studying the results. 1t
Is in this way we learn what certain
plants like best-light or heavy soil,
full exposure or partial shade abun-
dant moisture or moderately dry soil,
what fertilizers produce the best re-
suits. and so on.

kind had better confine his efforts to a
few sturdy geraniums or other equally

KEEP WINDOW BOXES WORK.
ING.

Window boxes have been cleared Of
their summer plants, but why let them
stand idle all winter? Fill the boxes
with good. rich earth to about three
and half inches of the top. Level
the soil off even. On this place a half
inch OF sand; then set hyacinth bulbs
in position and fill up with sand to the
top of the bulb. The top Of the sand
should be not less than an inch from
the top Of the window box. II sand
cannot be had use good rich soil for
the whole operation.
When the bulbs are planted water
thoroughly and set the box away in
dark cool place for the bulbs to
make proper roots.
Narcissus bulbs will make a good
show and either these or hyacinths are
quite certain to give good results.
Do not let the soil dry out, and give
the bulbs time to root sufficiently be-
fore bringing them into the light
The self-watering window and plant
boxes are excellent for bulbs and give
fine results. The Savo is one of the

STORING soUAsHEs FOR THE
WINTER.
ny EDWARD I. HARRINGTON.

Many gardeners do not realize APP
parently that squashes must be
handled differently from most other
vegetables. They should not be stored
in a cool part Of the cellar like pota-
toes, beets, carrots and cabbages but
must be kept warm, temperature
between so and 60 being the best for
them. Market gardeners usually pro-
vide a large room and sometimes a
separate building In which to store
their squashes. They use shelves ar
ranged one above the other, and pile
the squashes only two tiers deep. In
this way the air Is allowed to circulate
freely among them.
The home gardener will get best re-
suits by putting up n few shelves near
his heater. II he has a considerable
number of squashes to keep over.
Sometimes a closet near the chimney
can be utilized, but a warm room or
cellar Is better.
Care must be taken not to injure the
squashes when they are being har-
vested. This is point often overlooked.
for the average amateur seems to
think that a hard skinned, solid vege-
table like the squash can be thrown
about much more carelessly than the
smaller vegetables. This Is not true
because even n small cut or brulse
will cause a squash to decay. Market
gardeners go to the point of spreading
mats and blankets on their wagons to
prevent the squashes being injured.
1t is always best to pile the squashes
outside for a week or two, allowing
them to dry out, but covering them
on frosty nights. Squashes that have
been frosted will soon rot. The cellar
or room where they are stored should
be kept open, too, until the cold
weather comes. The more thoroughly
the squashes are dried out before the
windows have to be closed the better
they will keep.
Squashes are among the most use
full and valuable vegetables which can
be stored for winter. 1t is important
that every effort be made to keep
them from spelling before they can be
used.
Although pumpkins are not grown
so largely, they are still popular with
many gardeners. They should be
handled in the same way as squashes
and never stored in a cool place.
