Aftercure Of Beqonios

Those magnificently colored
Ituberous-rooted begonias can
easily be saved from year to
year. According to the Belgian
Begonia Growers Association,
the procedure is simple: Just as
other tender bulbs, they require
a rest period during the winter
and therefore lifting is neces-
Sary. In most areas, tubers are
taken out of the ground after
the first killing frost with a
digging fork. The bulbs are al
lowed to cure in the sun in a
warm dry place for two or three
weeks to dry up the years
growth. They are then cleaned
and stored in a cool and semi
moist place over the winter,
often in dry peat or dry sand.

Here it is on the brink of win

woolly bears have nothing to say.
Or, if they have, I can't under

conclusion.
It is either going to be a long,
mild winter, or it is going to be
a long, hard one. And if the
winter is cold, then look out.
Well be frozen in solid from
Thanksgiving until Easter.
I come to this conclusion be-

The thing about them is, that

Another thing. too, is that a

GUIDANCE
House Plants for the Warm Room
By W. H. YoUNGMAN

Styles, quality, and durability
of house plants have changed
almost as much as they have in
automobiles. Yesteryear the in
door gardener had only a few
kinds to select from-ivy, screw
pine, dumb cane, philodendron,
the snake plant, peperomia, etc.
Today there are many more
kinds. with interesting flowers
for the sunny window, and in
teresting foliage for the partial
sun or shade situation.
The plants for the warm
room, where temperatures range
from so or SIS degrees at night
to 10 degrees in the daytime,
are an entirely different group
than those which we might con-
slider for rooms where daytime
temperatures do not exceed go
degrees. But they include many
choice boomers for the sunny
window as well as interesting
foliage plants for partial shade
and for full shade. The n.y.
bridists have helped by crossing
related species to produce vari-
ations in foliage, and then there
are those that have been selected
from the vast array Of tropical
plant material for duty in our
homes. The FatSia is an ex-
ample of the first, the Schefflera
and some of the new forms of
philodendron are typical of the
latter.
Even the old timers are avail
able in new dress which makes
them difficult to recognize, for
example the Dracaena with its
new color combinations. Yes.
people like to have something
green and growing in their
homes, and the plant growers
have responded with an excel
lent collection of interesting
plants. And, some of them are
very useful for the flower
arranger who wants material
that is different.
Perhaps not all of the new
plants are as tough as the Aspi-
distra, the Cast Iron plant, of
barber shop windows. but then

we have better devices for sup
plying moisture and humidity
ing the atmosphere. A layer OF
gravel in an attractive pan on
the window sill. or on top of the
radiator. fills the air with mois-
ture as it rises and the plants
in pots that rest on the gravel
mot in the water thrive. This
lis an excellent practice for
houses that are not air con-
Iditioned. because it is just as
beneficial to the people as it is
to the plants.
Wick-fed pots are a help but
they are not a complete answer
since they deliver moisture at
about the same rate the year
around. Plants that are in a
dormant season should not re-
ceive as much moisture as those
that are in active growth. Also,
the use of wick -watered pots
tends to make us forget the
occasional flushing of the soil
with water to remove any &C.
tcumulation of salts. And,
thirdly, plants in room with
very dry atmosphere need more
moisture than those in a situa-
ton where the air is better sup
piled with it.
Plants have definite light re-
quirements and this should be
taken into consideration in max
ing a selection for a particular
room OF window. But, this varies
from season to season. Summer
sun has enough intensity to af-
feet all but the toughest of the
sun-lovers. The winter sun is
weak and will not hurt plants
which we think of as adapted to
semishade. Even the African
violet will thrive in a south win
dow in the winter.
To aid the gardener in select
ing plants for the indoor garden
they should be classified accord
ing to the amount of light
which they need in the summer.
Also they might we'll be grouped
according to Towering and foil
age as follows:

into a greenhouse and see
them. Make notes Of those
that are most attractive and
then check them for their
temperature and light require
ments.
If your situation does not
permit of large plants find out
how big they will be in a year
or two.

plants for the cool room.)
