Although all the plant material
was ruined by the fire or fumes,
the potted plants were cut down
and they made wonderful come
back. Plants are hardy things
and will stand a lot Of abuse.
However, I would not recommend
a fire to find that out. Take my
word for it. Even a bed of snaps
that we cut off to the soil surface,
on the advice of MIR. Youngman,
The Stars garden editor, came
back beautifully. bloomed again
and were finally cut back the
second time, planted in the out
side garden and "bloomed their
heads off" all summer long.
We are rank amateurs and what
little knowledge of inside garden
l. ing we have has been acquired by
reading or by the costly trial and
error method. 1t is lot of fun
and if our poinsettias don't make
Christmas, as the commercial
growers say, or our croft lilies are
a little late in blooming, because
we maintain an average tempera-
ture for all plants whatsoever their
temperature requirements, never
theless we think our lilies are just
as lovely a week or two later. ]

Grow Mony Flowers
There is a long list Of flowers
we grow, beginning with the
chrysanthemum, then on through
snapdragons. stock. calendulas,
sweet peas. pansies, to mention
only a few, not forgetting the most
satisfactory of all, the bulbs.
We select good forcing varieties
of daffodils, tulips, Dutch iris and
hyacinths and have a succession
of blooms from February until the
garden varieties come into flower
outside. :
Last fall we found ourselves
with a large number of the bril-
liant Bartigar Max tulips on our
hands. These had been purchased
for an outside bed that didn't
materialize. So, on the advice of
a local nurseryman. we planted
them in deep flats, placed them in
an outside pit for about ten
weeks to make roots, then under
the bench for another week.
So, the first of March, they were
up in full sun and made a
gorgeous splash of color. We are
so proud of our success that next
year we plan to do the same, with
some of the newer varieties of
daffodils. The lovely large white

side of the house, a factory built

have built yourself, it makes no
difference. You have no idea
what a thrill it gives one to slip
into a world of maytime when the
snow flies, winds howl and winter
otherwise would keep you from
your favorite pastime for months

Things blooming under glass
have always had a fascination for
us, so we started with a few sec
tions of a ready to assemble
house. All too soon we outgrew it.
My husbands geranium cuttings
literally crowded us out and more
sections were added in no time at
all. A gift of a few stock geran-
ium plants soon grew into several
hundred blooming size plants, so
that we had to call on friends and
neighbors with empty borders to
take some of the surplus off our
hands.
Fire FoiIed to End Project
Soon we acquired larger house
which had only been completed
a few months when a fire of un-
known origin wiped out over half
of the small house and the back
of the new structure. I think our
friends suffered as much as we
over our loss. But my husband is

likely to get below freezing

much moisture stimulates sprout-
ing.
However, some dahlia growers
desire early sprouting so that
they may take cuttings and root
them in a warm cutting box. This
is one way to increase the num-
ber of plants of a desirable va
riety.

Control Of jap Beetle

Treating the lawns to control
the japanese beetle grubs may be
done at any time up until the
middle of May. The milky spore
disease gives permanent protec-

chlordane is recommended. The
