Philodendrons Are Easiest
House Plants to Grow

With foliage ranging from
pale green to deep olive. and
variable in shape from solid to
very deeply cut segments, Phil
odendrons are lush and tropical
in appearance and yet are def
nitely one of the easiest house
plants to grow. The giant lux
uriant foliage on a well-growr
plant is also most attractive
and intriguing.
There are some $50 varieties
Of Philodendron on record; for
years Philodendron cordatum
has been considered the best
vine for growing indoors in
either soil or water. Now, how
ever, different type Of Philo-
dendron has stepped into the
limelight. In California it Is
known as the "Arborescent"
Philodendron; in Florida, it is
known as the "Selfheading''
type. Both terms mean exactly
the same thing-the plants
form a compact crown of
leaves. very much like a palm.
The leaf stems are attached

as the st. James lily or the
Jacobean lily. The refiexed
narrow crimson petals make it
an interesting addition to the
sunny window.
Conversation Pieces
The ISmene lily (Hymenocal-
lis callathina) is often grown
out of doors for a summer dis
play where the frilled white
trumpets with a green stripe
down each midrib make real
conversation pieces. However,
they are easy to grow as pot
plants although potting is best
delayed until March. The
flowers appear in a week or
ten days after potting, but
without foliage so they should
be placed among other plants
to hide the nakedness.
The Fairy-lily (Zephyranthes
spps.) is the smallest member
of the group and is usually
grown out-of-doors in much
the same manner as are the
tuberoses. With care they may
be left in the garden and pro-
tected with a thick mulch. The
Fairy-lilies may also be grown
as a pot plant, using several
bulbs to a pot. There are a
number of species the one
commonly used in this area is
u. atamasco.

The red COW is taking life
much more leisurely with her
new calf. She no longer chases
me out of the field, and she &C.
tually looks on rather placidly
when her offspring plays with
the dogs.
I suppose she has concluded
there are no calf stealers about.
and that it is safe to allow her
calf to be admired.
This makes for better condi-
lions all around. The calf is

1t is good to see that things

The members of the Amaryl-
lis family are usually planted
singly in pots only slightly
larger than the diameter of

close together on the trunk at
the base so that no internodes
are formed. 1t puts out new
leaves from the center so that
1t grows in a perfectly SYM
metrical shape like a fountain
with water coming out of the
center. This habit Of growth
forms a plant pleasing in APP
pearance for its grace and neat
ness.
Because it is a native to the
semitropical areas Of South
Brazil. Uruguay and Paraguay,
the Arborescent Philodendron
thrives in full sun or semishade
and will Withstand tempera-
lures to % degrees without in
jury. Also it will stand heated
rooms better than most house
plants, so this makes it most
practical.
Philodendrons prefer a light,
airy location. and a soil rich in
organic matter. 1t is well to use
a good mixture of well-shredded
peat and topsoil for a planting
mix. and frequent feelings with
a good natural-organic plant
food will encourage more beau
tiful growth. Philodendrons also
need a great deal Of water. for
they have such a large leaf sur
face that the plant needs a lot
Like their climbing relatives
these Philodendrons are aer-
ODDS, which means simply that
some Of the roots run along the
ground and part of the moisture
and food is gathered from the
air around them.
Philodendrons are excellent
when used as tubbed specimen,
potted plant. in planter boxes,
interior wall pockets, or any
type Of indoor planter. In the
warmer climates of the United
States they are being used in
foundation paintings, shrubbery
borders and patio beds.

ports so that they will not whip
in the winter winds.
Gardenias Hazardous
Gardenias if protected by
portions of the house or out
buildings may survive winters
In this region. Those exposed
must be well protected by
mulches and screens to have
any assurance of living. Best
advice is not to bother too
much over valuable plants. The
risk Is too great. Indoor air
is usually too dry for them to
do well: in fact. unless you
syringe them twice daily they
will lose their buds.
Show by Berried Shurbs
The berried shrubs are still
making bright pictures midst
the dark green's. This is the
season when they make their
major contribution to the gar
den. The firethorns are still
most colorful and it shows why
they are the most popular of
the berried shrubs. The beau
tyberries have lost their color
in those areas where tempera-
lures fell to rather chilly levels
last week. The berries on some
of the viburnums are still
snowy-that is where the birds
have not cleaned them OF as
they did the fruits on the dog
woods. The barberries hang
on well into the winter, as do
most of the holly berries. In
some gardens the yews are put
ting on a colorful show this
fall. Then there are the ber-
ries not often seen such as:
Photinia, the coralberry, the
snowberry. the Heavenly bam-
boo (Nandina). Hollygrape,
cotoneasters. etc.
Late Crocus
The Towering crocus are
making quite a showing in the
garden - they were planted
rather late this fall (Septem-
ber) and it may be that they
are later than usual because
of the delay. However, they
make quite a picture pushing
their lavender cups UP through
the fallen leaves.-W. H. Y.

scrapbook Filing Date Nov. "a

There are still a number of
chores to be taken care Of in
the garden before we turn at
tention to the indoor plants.
The pipelines from the house
to the garden should be- thor
oughly drained, the garden hose
should be carefully drained and
placed on a shelf in a dark
corner of the basement; the
carburetor and gas tank of the
mower also need draining. and
then let's. for this once, make
an inventory of all the repair
ing and sharpening of the gar
den equipment that should be
taken care of before spring.
These are must jobs, but there
are others-such as finishing
bulb planting, sowing seeds of
hardy ANIMALS and cleaning up
OF weeds and rubbish that
might harbor insect pests. Yes,
there are still a number of jobs
besides raking up leaves and
hauling them to a compost pile.
Leftover Fertilizers
Speaking Of the compost pile,
that is a good place to dump
the odds and ends of fertilizers
that were left over from the
summer feeding of plants. You
could put some of the lime into
the compost pile, but if any Of
the compost is to be used
around the azaleas, rhododen-
drons and other acid-soil loving
plants don't do it. You might
have two compost piles-oue
for the broadleaved evergreens
and the other for the flower
border and vegetable garden.
Lime can be added to compost
as it is being spread.
Empty Old Mixtures
We cannot dump all the odds
and ends Of fungicides and in
secticides into the compost pile
as we do the bits of fertilizer.
The only safe place for them
is in a deer hole in the garden.
Dispose of them now and take
an inventory of the materials
to be purchased for next
springs program of control.
Don't be in too big a hurry to
buy these materials because
new ones are being released
every spring. The job is big
enough so that we should have
the best materials obtainable.
GladiOlus Corms
It is not too soon to begin
cleaning up the gladiolus corrns
and putting them away for the
winter. Remove the old corms,
roots and a portion of the
husks. The cormels may be kept
or discarded as the gardener
sees At. However. if they are
to be kept and planted next
spring we might well dig q bed
for them now since they should
go into the ground in early
March.
After the glad corms are
cleaned they might well be put
into bags and lightly busted
with DOT to control the thrips.
This operation is best handled
by putting the corms into a
bag with a tablespoonful of
DOT and shaking. Then remove
the corms to another bag. Ex-
cess DOT has a stunning effect
upon the glads, so avoid using
too literally.
Climbing Roses
This winter remove a por-
ton of the older canes of climb
ing roses. Normally this is a
job for mid-June, a period
when there is much to be done
in the garden-consequently it
is often overlooked. Hence this
suggestion. Remove the oldest
canes, cutting them off close
to the ground. 1t is usually
necessary to cut the canes to
be removed into small sections
so as to get them out without
undue injury to the other canes.
Make sure the other canes are
securely fastened to the sup

CUBAN
AmoryIlis for Winter Show
By W. H. YoUNcMAN

The Amaryllis family is a
large and colorful one, contain
ing many species that can con-
tribute greatly to the beauty
and interest of the window
garden.
Many gardeners are familiar
with the Hippeastrurn, which is
commonly called Amaryllis. In
fact the whole Technology of
the Amaryllis family is thor
oughly confused. so don't be
surprised If when you ask for
an hippeastrum bulb you are
frowned upon and handed an
amaryllis bulb.
The seller would be equally
surprised if you asked for a
habranthus bulb. because at
one time that term applied to
the hippeastrum, and at one
time was known as Rhodohpi-
ala gifida.
But. in spite of all of this
confusion the Amaryllis family
contains a great many inter-
esting dubious plants suitable
for forcing in the window
garden.
Buy Big Bulbs
The best known are the hip
peastrums (but known every
where as amaryllis) and their
hybrids. Because these bulbs
contain well formed buds it is
desirable to buy the biggest and
best bulbs to insure an out
standing display. There are a
considerable number of hybrid
varieties on the market which
command a substantially high
er price than those commonly
grown from seed (many are
now being produced in Florida).
The true hybrids take several
years to produce salable
bulb, hence the distinction.
Among the better known hy-
birds are: Scarlet Admiral. In
nocence. Pink Perfection, Amer
ican Express. Cherokee and
Queen of the Whites. Every
fancier has his or her favor
ties, and certainly they are
much more to be desired than
the fulv0us reds Of the older
species or the stripes commonly
associated with the seedlings.
Some Other Suggestions
Other members of the Anna
ryllis family that merit atten-
ton are: The Amazon-lily, the
Blood-lily. the Aztec-lily. the
Ismene-lily or daffodil. Fairy
lily and possibly the Kafir-lily.
The latter is an evergreen
whereas the others are grown
for a few months and then dried
of for a rest period. In fact
with the one exception the cul-
ture of these Amaryllis is the
same. only the size and color of
the flowers differing, perhaps
the growing room temperatures.
The Amazon-lily (Eucharis
(amazonica) grandifiora) has
pure white star-shaped flowers
on two-foot stalks. If anything
the Amazon-lily likes a more
fibrous soil than is generally
supplied an amaryllis and the
addition Of a bit of charcoal for
sweetness. Also. it prefers a bit
warmer situation than the
others.
The Blood-lily (Haemanthus
coccineus, H. katherinae) have
bright red flowers, the latter
with an orange overcast. They
like more shade than the others.
an acid soil and during the
growing season a temperature
OF not to exceed SIS degrees at
night.

boss, dispensed on a television
program June 2, the Columbia
Broadcasting System has main
tanned.
The CHS position was taken in
reply to a protest from the Cath
olic War Veterans after the CHS
TV-radio interview with the Rus

president, Frank Stanton, empha-
sized the adulthood of the Amer
lean people in his reply to the
CWV protest. He said that the

that Lenin at one time made the
statement that the us. press
would carry 80 per cent of the

The CWV protest said that the
Khrushchev interview amounted
to piping communist propaganda
into the living rooms of the
