Mrs. j. W., "Can you give me any
information regarding an indoor Gala
lily"
Answer: A Gala lily requires rich
soil and plenty of water with the roots
confined in as small space as possible.
If too large a pot is used, the growth
of the foliage will often be large at the
expense of the flowers. BY using a
smaller pot and LIQUID manure, the
flowers may be produced freely. A
six-inch pot is right for all except an
unusually large tuber Or, if you pre-
fer, you can grow number of tubers
in q large pot. The soil should be
6brous. One-third of q potful of we'll
rotted manure is not too much to mix
with the fibrous loan, and some sand.
Plant the tubers firmly and set the
pots in a cool place to take root. After
the root partly fill the pot, the plant
may be brought into heat and sun and
given plenty of water. Sponge the
leaves occasionally, when they have ap-
peared, to keep them free from dust.
No other treatment is necessary before
the flowers appear-when liquid man.
ure may be given to the plant. Also
now set the pot in q saucer of water

in September or October, shake the

Mitzi had long golden curls and her

You are not in love with a man:
you are in love with an ideal. It
would be impossible to know the
man after seeing him once, and
therefore you are believing him to
have lovable qualities which are a
creation Of your mind instead of
part of his character. To believe
yourself hopelessly in love would be
foolish. Try to put the man out
of your mind.
