or any other decoration to mar your
scheme.
II you have too little furniture 70
NIL wall spaces In large room,
though enough for comfort and con-
venience, fill in with plants. A tan
standard plant in a tub win ade-
quately fill 3 feet Of space. A plant
rack with Towering plants and trail-
ing ferns and foliage may be as i'm
pOrtant, In size, as small grand
piano. On the other hand, II your
rooms are small and you wish to use
only the necessary pieces of furni-
ture, plants on wall brackets or in
wall pockets will give the well-fur-
nished look without taking up space.
Many of us overlook the possibili-
ties which growing green things
offer. We settle for the stiff pot Of
tulips with its red crepe paper petit
coat, place it on a plate on a table
and call 1t a day. More often than
not its purpose is destroyed as the
stiff artificial appearance is grace
less and a clumsy container makes
| 1t difficult to use as a component
part Of composition. 1t literally
sticks out like a sore thumb"
Two single pots of tulips, tucked
in with few foliage plants, give a
much more natural and graceful ap-
pearance. These may be slipped out
OF their pots and all replanted in a
large container, or they may be
placed in small window box, each
In its separate pot. Used this way
they look as though they were grow
| ing in their natural environment.
When the tulips fade other flower
ing plants may take their place.
II you like to grow your own"
your fun is endless. Castor beans
may be started in pots. The red
stalks and deeply serrated, bronze
green leaves will grow as tall as
grandmother's rubber plant, and be
far more decorative. BY summer it
may be moved to corner of the
porch and literally grow to tree size
with feeding and pruning.
| The trailing vines which are ordi-
narily used for cover vines may be
used indoors as well. Start them in
SEED nat, remove to permanent
pot when the seedlings are three
inches high. Three or four seed
lings in six-inch pot will be plenty.
These probably will not blossom un-
less given plenty of sun, but their
graceful fronds will be as attractive
as ivy or fern, and most unusual.
Cut flowers also lose half their
charm when used by the dozen and
jammed into a vase. Three roses
with their foliage, carefully ar
ranged at various heights and with
attention to the lines of the COM
position, are a work of art. Three
daffodils, bright tulip and couple
of freesias may be the personifica-
ton of spring, while dozen of any
one Of them would be merely q spot
of color.
Plan each growing thing as care
fully as you would the accessories
to your Easter costume. Select it, in
leaf texture and color, in relation
to the space and the color scheme
it is to complement. 1t is an ire
sistible finishing touch!

turned, though the cleaners were
handicapped by serious labor short
ages.

Of waiting until the last minute.

Living Decorations

Potted plants. trailing foliage
plants and flower arrangements do
much for q room. They perform
those last finishing touches which
make the whole scene look alive.
Colorful flowers may point up a color
scheme, trailing Ivy or ferns give
accent and graceful lines to wall
composition, and the hourishing
growth and careful arrangement
makes 1t very evident that some

the "well-groomed" look Of any

There is no single feature in room
decoration which adds so much, with
SO little cash outlay as plants. Bios
