Plants
Benefit by
Sojourn in Garden
During Summer
Proves Helpful
BY AGNES TRIMBLE.

A house plant, like person, de-
mands vacation every so often.
They deserve it, too, for all winter
long the house is made more cheer
full by their bright, gay blossoms
and attractive foliage. So take them
to health resort-the flower gar
den, where they can rest and be
reconditioned for the coming winter
duties. Those who live in apart
ments, or have limited or no out
side space, can greatly benefit their
plants by placing them in or near
open windows.
Care should be exercised in TAX
ing the tender house plants out
doors because they have been gently
cared for indoors for months. They
are not accustomed to the strong
and bright light, nor to so much
fresh air. Therefore, it Is better to
take them out by degrees. A warm,
cloudy day is ideal for the change
1t Is better to take them no further
than the porch at first, and allow
them to remain there for several
days. Then into the garden, where
they should be shaded for another
few days until they become used
to the outside.
A careful study of both the plants
needs and the layout of the garden
should be made, and then arrange
the plants in locations suitable to
their special liking Some plants
pot and all-may be set down in
the ground, others may be placed
around on top, while some will do
better If removed from their con-
tainers and planted down in the
earth for the duration of the sum-
mer. Gardens can be greatly beau
titled by the addition of potted
flowers when they are carefully and
artistically arranged.
Arrange the plants where they
will be protected from drafts, heavy
winds and pouring rains, as house
plants are more delicate than out
side-grown plants. Watering is an
other important item that must not
be overlooked in caring for these
flowers, for they need drink and
bath often-even more than do the
regular garden flowers. All plants,
however, must have a certain
amount OF watering during the hot
and dry summer days-but do this
after the sun goes down.
Foliage can be kept beautiful and
free from splattering by covering
the bare ground near the plants
with leaves and other lawn gather
ings-this also aids in keeping mois-
ture in the ground.
Just before taking the plants out
doors, work little bone-meal into
the soil around them. A little hard
wood ashes or SCOT worked in. too,
will help to give the foliage bright
and healthy color. After reaching
their destination-the garden-give
them generous drink from. a solu-
ton made by dissolving table,
spoonful Of nitrate of soda in about
gallon of water. They will like
this cocktail, too! Liquid manure,
now and then, is an excellent ferti-
lizer for them while they are out
side-not too much at one time.
Keep plants outside until late
summer. or as long as they can
safely be protected from chilly
nights, but when frost threatens re-
move them back to the porch and
cover them at night until they are
returned to indoors to begin their
winter duties Frightening the

To begin with. the holes should
be deeply dug and generous guam
titles of humus incorporated; this is
to hold moisture close to the roots.
Plants give off quantities of water
during growth. The botanists call
this Transportation. The rate of
Transportation is greatly accelerated
by the heat of the sun and by the
wind. To compensate for transpira-
tion when moving plants of any
kind, we should put humus in the
soil to hold moisture to the roots,
build some kind of a shade or shelter
as protection against sun and
wind, and remove part of the leaves
or branches. In the case of trees
we should wrap the trunk with bur-
lap or paper as an additional protec-
ton. In the summer of 1886 four
young oak trees were moved from
the woods with large balls of dirt.
Their branches were pruned and
they were kept well watered The
trunks, however, were not wrapped
and they all burned so badly that
they have not recovered, after four
years they are still struggling to
keep alive.
Large Ball Of
Earth Best.
The larger the ball of earth taken
with the roots the less the shock
OF transplanting, although some
plants do not need as much care as
do others. One would hardly at
tempt to move an Oriental poppy
at this season, although with an
extraordinarily large ball Of earth
it could be done. The size of the
ball to be dug depends not only
upon the size of the plant but also
upon the type of root system. A
compact fibrous root system requires
a much smaller ball of earth than
a tap-rooted plant or one that has
q few long, straggly roots.
In setting shrubs and trees it is
well to take extra care to allow for
settling. With the soil in the bot
tom of the hole stirred up more than
usual it is reasonable to expect more
than the normal amount of settling
Having placed the balled plant at
the proper level fill the hole from
one-half to two-thirds with good
top soil. Water is then poured in
until the hole is full This settles
the soil about the ball of dirt and
insures adequate moisture. When
the water has soaked in it is time
TO finish filling the hole with soil.

Auratum Is of

More money has been spent and

amateur lily fans in growing the

(Auratum) than any other kind.
It's large size, wonderful color and
fragrance endear it to all but, un-
fortunately it seldom fingers longer
than two or three years. But the
bulbs are. or have been, cheap, and
it is worth while buying a half
dozen or more every year if for only
one crop of flowers. 1t seems to

Is best planted 10 inches deep
among herbaceous plants.
Although discovered more than
80 years ago the Formosanum lily
passed out of cultivation, but was
reintroduced by the late E. H. Will
son who discovered and introduced
the Regale lily. Because it can be
brought to flower in 10 months or
less from the seed the Formosanum
lily has attained great popularity
A bed of seedlings will bloom from
July until cut down by frost. The
flowers are narrow funnel shaped,
the tips of the petals being grace
fully recurved, pure white within,
suffused with wine-purple or occa-
sionally white without and from
to 10 in number. A dwarf form,
known as Prices variety, differs
