INCREASED DEMAND 70 R PIONEERING PLANTS
IN HOMES REPORT Ed BY LOCAL FLORISTS

Prices for ferns and Towering plants
for the home have decreased according
to Richmond florists. A great demand
Is being made for house plants Of all
kinds.
While At Christmas and Easter one
is accustomed to seeing in home an
array Of well-flowered plants, at other
times they are most conspicuous by
their absence. Why this should be so
is scarcely to be explained, particular
~ when there Is q wealth Of subjects
for indoor culture available. It may
be that the beautiful offerings Of the
florists to be observed at the seasons
mentioned in great measure account
for the displays then seen; or that
at those times the necessity for I'M
usual brightness and cheer In homes
sometimes all too dreary suggest their
use. But why not have the enjoyment
Of q plant in full bloom continuously
With a proper selection Of subjects, q
sunny window will enable anyone to
provide. at little expense, a veritable
home garden, the cheering influence of

plant should be at least five feet high

shoots is all the attention it would
thereafter require.
FuchsIas Easily Grown.
There are few dubious species OF

use. These plants have neat, clover

and are quite charming. The variety
known as versicolor is well suited for
use In hanging baskets, and produces
flowers white inside, red outside, ex-
ceedingly pretty when half expanded.
All the Fuchsias do well In the
home. Most OF them are summer
boomers, but there are two vodeties,
serratifolia and speciosa, which flower
freely in winter. The shape of plant
is regulated by pinching out shoots.
Their nlants for home culture are
the Geraniums, Bouvardias, Additions,
Chroizemas and Maurandias. OF the
ANNALS, Mignonette, Sweet Alyssum,
Candytuft and Lobelia will be found
to give satisfaction.

Of the decreasing supply OF American
pulpwood used i'll the manufacture OF

diana, introduced a resolution in the
senate today authorizing the secretary
Of agriculture to make survey and
preliminary investigation OF approx
mate and possible available pulp wood
timber supply, not only in tho north
eastern part OF the United States, but
also in the central and western sec
,ions. The secretary of agriculture,
also under the resolution, is directed
to make recommendations for pulp
wood utilization. The sum OF SlW,0W
is asked TO carry on the survey and
investigation.
"Two-thirds OF the news priN paper

Senator Watson. in introducing the
resolution, is imported or is manu-
iacturcd from wood or pulp imported
from Canada, One-third is made in
the United States from wood grown
in the United States. The former pro-
portion is steadily increasing, the lat

that the forest service OF the United
