Pothos, scindapsus or ivy arum
Which will you grow? 1t
doesn't matter, for pothos is the
term used by florists. scindapSus
is the correct botanical name
and ivy arum, the common
name.
Lately I had need to look up
some information about pothos
and found a good bit of material
which I think may be of interest
to you who have not grown this
house plant, as we'll as to those
who are we'll acquainted with it.
Its native habitat is Malaga
and the East Indies. 1t is de-
scribed as a tender perennial
herb belonging to the araceae
family. Two species are grown
in greenhouses, S. aurens. which
comes to us from the Solomons.

S. pictus has smaller bright
green leaves spotted dark green.
PothoS may be grown in either

soil or water. An east window
is recommended but not too
much light. They evidently do
we'll in our houses and apart
ments because they require
warm rooms and adequate mois-
ture.
They should be treated as the
ever popular philodendrons are.
Pothos require no rest period.
They may be propagated by
roofing in sand or water a few
inches of a growing tip. Febru-
airy and March are the best
times for starting new plants to
replace the old ones which be-
come too leggy. Plant in soil
mixture of rough peat. sphag-
mum moss, charcoal and sand,
or place in a container filled
with water.
The species aureus. variety
Wilcoxi, is the one especially
recommended because of the
beauty of its leaves which are

Sacred Indio Lily
Has 2-Foot Bloom,
Smells to Heaven

A sacred lily Of India growing
from It's bulb or tuber without
benefit Of either water or soil is
in bloom at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl w. Cook, 443l Thirty
fifth street NV. The flower is
about 2 feet long on a spot
ted stem nearly S feet long.
The bloom Is single and dark
maroon in color.
The plant resembles a skunk
cabbage in coloration and odor.
The Cooks were given the
plant last year by a neighbor
and planted it in the yard from
May to october. During the
summer season it puts out t1n-
gers of leaves of a delicate char
acter not unlike fronds of fern.
Hazel broke off the plant but
that had no effect upon its bios
soming this spring as a house
plant.
1T smells to heaven" said
Mrs. Cook, but it is miraculous
how it grows and blooms without
nourishment or roofing. In the
soil over the summer it develops
tuberous appendages from which
new blooms will grow. My friend
grew one that had been sliced to
third its normal size by a
garden spade"

known of the so-called minor
spring bulbs. The Dutch have
developed a very large number
of varieties, but unfortunately
only a relatively few are we'll
known in America. In addition
to the named varieties there are
numerous species. These little
bulbs are actually corms, looking
as if they were miniature glad
iolus. They perform best when
exposed to full sun, but since
they bloom long before the trees
develop their foliage, crocus can
be planted in woodlands or near
other plants that will eventually
provide shade. Many gardeners
plant them in the lawn, but here
their foliage is likely to be cut
of by the mower and the bulbs
weakened and eventually killed.

A protected southern exposure

varieties of muscari-grape hya-

flower heads that superfcially
resemble hyacinths, and ara ,

cinths. The colorS are very

there are purplish and pure

First. q word to dahlia growers.
Have you checked lately to see II
your dahlia tubers are wintering
all right? They should be well
cured by now. If you are having
trouble with stem rot. as so many
dahlia growers are. perhaps you
will wish to try this remedy
which experts recommend. First
of all clean OF all decayed parts
and then brush on the following
mixture. being sure to thoroughly
rub it into the cut area: Six
pounds flowers Of sulphur. 2
pounds slated lime, 2 pounds
commercial tale and Ia ounces
hydroxy quinoline benzoate. This
quantity will treat many tubers.
SO If you have only a few. reduce
all amounts proportionately.

Spring Towering bulbs. with

familiar with tulips. narcissi,
and hyacinths. These flowers are
all very snowy and have won a
popularity we'll deserved. They
are not discussed here, and as
harbingers Of spring they must
yield to such lesSer-known bulbs
as Eranthis commonly known
as winter aconite), to Leucojum
(aptly called snow flake), to
Galanthus (the dainty little
snowdrop) and to Chionodoxa
(glory- of -the-snow).
These named bulbs are the
very early spring boomers. In
fact winter aconite may oc-
casionally brighten the garden
with its soft yellow flowers in
January, and in very open WIN
ters has been known to bloom
in December. The so-called
Christmas rose (Helleborus)

quently it actually lives up to
its name with open flowers on
Christmas Day in mild winters.
Leucojum tsnowflake), and Ga
lanthus (snowdrop), are often
confused. the former has larger
flowers and usually blooms ear
lier than Galanthus.
For masses of color to tighten
the spring border, we have Chion-
odoxas GLORY of -the-snow). and
of course the very satisfactory
crocus. Very frequently in the
Washington area Chionodoxas
are in full flower in February,
their brilliant colors sometimes
backed by patches of snow.
These very satisfactory small
bulbs are available in a variety
of colors-in some the petals are
tipped with blue shading to white
at the base, others are pure
white. and there are reddish and
pink forms, also blue. These lit
le-knoWn bulbs are deserving of
more attention and well repay
any efforts expended, on them.

Owners who are used to paying a thousand dollars more
for a car find that money can't bug more luxury. more
exciting features and beauty than in the dashing Custom
Royal Lancer shown above. It's up to inches longer
than competitive models costing more!
And owners of so-called '1ow-priced cars are finding
