Now that the holiday season
is past we might well turn our
attention to starting plants
from cuttings. This is fairly
easy with the indoor plants,
but the growing Of new plants
Of the evergreens is even more
fun.
1t can still be done although
the ideal time for taking cut
tings Of the conifers and box
wood Is late November or early
December.
We can still get good enough
results to justify building an
indoor propagation frame II
we want to do it on q fairly
large scale. On q small scale
it is easy enough to use
6-inch pots.
In Peat Moss and Sand
The growing Of cuttings Of
the conifers-the hemlock, the
yewS, jumpers, pines and the
false cedars-is not a difficult
task. In fact, other than taking
considerable time, it is Just as
easy as roofing geraniums.
Most Of them root readily in
a haf-and-half mixture Of
peat moss and sand. The juni-
pers seem to do better in clean,
sharp sand than in the mix
ture.
The cuttings are usually the
new growth and should be
pulled by tearing of the short
new growths. BY tearing them
of a bit of the old wood will
be attached. Some say this is
needed for good roofing, while
others say it is bad because,
unless handled with care, there
is danger of air pockets being
left around them so, Of course,
they advocate cutting of this
bit Of wood that forms some
thing Of an angle.
Can Dip in HOrmOnes
At any rate, take cuttings
that are four to six inches in
length. The six-inch pot will
hold 20 to 25 cuttings If they
are spaced two inches apart.
Moisten the sand or sand-peat
mixture and insert the cuttings
after removing the needles or
lower leaves.
( Most gardeners dip the ends
Of the cuttings in one Of the
roofing hormones. Knock the
surplus hormone material of
before placing the cutting in
the roofing media.
When the cuttings are in
place press the media about

stimulation which work with
flowers seems to trigger. Should
you find yourself bursting with
new ideas as you arrange, re-
check the work against your
first idea, which is usually the
freshest.
Two common human weak
nesses are stumbling blocks for
many arrangers. One is the
failure to completely finish an
arrangement. This happens to
someone who becomes impatient
because her next move was not
clear and she did not know
quite how to 60 on. Just one
little step further and the idea
would have bloSSomed fully.
The other weakness is the
never ending quest for perfec-
ton. The overstressing of COM
plete harmony, complete bal
ance, perfect unity without the
slightest discord. This can be-
come a monotonous and un-
bearable recitation.
Avoid Lobored erection
There Is q time when one
must stop and never touch
again, even If one is not quite
satisfied. Overworked and la
bored arranging lacks spirit.
even II at the outset a brilliant
idea was the spark.
All flower arrangements orig
mate with an emotion which
can be visibly expressed by
using either knowingly or in
stinctively the basic principles
Of design. But, don't just let
your flowers stand up ana pose
within these well-known prin-
ciples and in an oft repeated
man1ec. This makes your ar
rangement a monotonous repe-
tition Of many others. BY copy
ing your own work or that of
others you miss the fun of err
ing. Of departure from routine
and the freedom of self
expression.
Today I shall not write
about the construction CT the
arrangement. 1t obviously can
be done in as many ways as
you wish and the plant ma
terials will permit. 1t was in
the bleak and cold sea son when
I bought the beautiful flowers.
and ! brought them home for
good cheer.
Spin Your Own Dreom
Therefore the gladioli we're
combined with eucalyptus and
bayberry in a black container
to tell Of dark, swirling. wintry
winds, Of bare gray branches
against the faraway sky, of a
cup Of darkness. In the midst
of this. warm, vigorous and
tender glows a rosy, friendly
group Of fresh flowers.
I admit that tbs description
may teach you nothing since
our Illustration cannot show
you the many shadirgs Of the
color. gray. the cold simmer
ing blackness of the container
and the soft warmth of the
pink blossoms. I have endeav-
ored tc trace TO: YOU my path
in the emotional creation of
this arrangement. Give your
self a chance to spin a dream
and then bring it to life with
all the technical ability at your

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
by MRS. HERBERT n. GREGER-
Make Your Own Dream Come True

Our home is the place where
we rest our spirits as well as
our bodies. Since we want it to
be our ideal Of a home. we
strive to fill it with comfort and
love. with peace and beauty.
Our basic needs for shelter,
food, clothing and security. as
well as our yearnings for per-
sonal freedom, privacy or COM
panionship, and our deep need
for peace and quiet, will mod
ulate our choices.
For the arranger, the flower
decorations which beautify her
home will of necessity change
with the seasonal materials
which our climate produces.
Special occasions such as Christ
mas, New Years. a national
festival or a family celebration
can interrupt this seasonal ad-
justment and offer us either
specialized or traditional ex-
pressions with flowers.
Now that the holiday decor
ations are cleared away, the
home has q somewhat empty
look although our usual sur
roundingS are the same. The
living room needs a cheerful
note and I shall decorate it
with some fresh flowers. Beau
tiful pink gladioli were so
fresh and so reasonably priced
that I bought them without any
plan, I just wanted a note of
cheer in my home. ! loved them
when I saw them and think
that Is the best reason for buy
ing them.
