Chrysanthemums are making a
fine showing. Those without this
hardy perennial might well look
about and select varieties to order
next spring. Not all varieties are
winter hardy in this area, so 1t Is
well to inquire about that point. The
ones most likely to be injured or
lost during the winter can be car
ried over in q cold frame. It is not
the cold but the moisture that does
the damage.
Remove the tops of spent hardy
asters and other perennials that
seed too freely. A plant out of place
is weed, and the hardy asters are
apt to fall in this class.
Napthalen flakes can be used to
keep moleS and mice away from the
bulb beds, but mix them we'll with
the soil and preferably around the
outer edges of the planting. Too
heavy an application or too close to
the bulbs may result In the volatile
gases injuring the tender new
shoots.
Pull and place old corn stalks In
the compost pile, or spade the stalks
under.
Chickweed is getting started for
winter growth, but this can be con-
trolled by spraying with 2-4D. BY
the way, 2-4D does not seem to be
injurious to rose bushes, but, Of
course, we should not get the spray
on the foliage if 1t can be avoided.
L. w. Kephart, weed specialist of
the Agriculture Department., re-
commends the anime form. 1t is
less likely to cause injury to nearby
plants than the more volatile ester
form.
Gather grasses, berries and other
plant material suitable for winter
bouquets now. Tie In punches and
hang them head down to dry until
needed.

Pile thick layer of oak leaves
around azaleas, rhododendrons,
laurel and other broad-leaved ever
green's. If necessary, place some

Failure or near failures of house
hints may be traced to one or
kre of the following conditions:
Lack Of, or too much, sunlight.
Over or under watering.
Temperatures too high.
Chilling draughts.
Escaping fumes and gases.
Now control of these factors Is
hot difficult but control is exceed
ingly important to successful cul-
ture.
In an apartment, oftentimes, only
one or two exposures exist; and,
where the window gardener is con-
fronted with limited facilities, it Is
well TO select plants which will
thrive in those exposures.
An African violet, for example,
cannot stand strong sunlight. A
window facing the south has too
much sunlight for this sensitive
plant. 1t should be placed in less
exposed situation during the sum-
mer or a curtain used to reduce the
strength of the suns rays.
We see geraniums trying to grow
where they receive insufficient SUM-
light, hence are scrawny and
anemic. A fern placed in q sunny
window will develop the same ap-
pearance. A cactus placed in a
south window that Is shaded by
trees will not thrive. nor will a
shade-loving fuchsia thrive in front
of a hot, dry window where the sun
pours in most of the day.
No Hard and Fast Rule.
There Is no hard and fast rule to
Judge the suitability of given
window space for plants. The win
dow gardener will need to study the
particular situation and then select
plants accordingly. Some expert
mentation with curtains may be
necessary to determine the control
needed.
The moisture given to house
plants has much to do with their
health and vigor. Overwatering
tends to exclude air from the soil
and to stunt plant growth. Lack of
moisture effectively prevents them
from obtaining food, for plants can
iake in the elements of plant growth
lnly in solution. The problem,
therefore, Is to supply sufficient
moisture without the soil becoming
water-logged.
Various rules haYe been offered as
guides in the watering, but such
rules do not allow for the variations
in requirements. Some plants, being
more succulent than others, have
higher moisture requirements. The
African violet, for instance, needs
much more moisture than does an
aloe or a kalanchoe.
Put Humus in the Soil.
The soil mixture should contain
sufficient humus to hold the mois-
ture needed, but contain enough
sand to permit excess moisture to
quickly drain away. Plants, such as
the African violet, should be planted
in q soil containing at least 2 parts
of leafmold or compost, part sand
and part garden loan.
AzaleaS, hydrangeas and gardenias
need q soil mixture containing peat
moss or at least a goodly portion
approximately one-third of the
humus should be supplied in that
form. Gardenias, for convenience,
are sometimes planted in mixture
of half peatmoss and half garden
loam.
The soil mixture for cactus, in
Guiding the Christmas cactus, sanse-
Yieria. neperonia. etc. should con.
