New buds appear imediately

re-
quired to 'bring on the next years
blooms. Most people ` lose , their.
plants :•,because' ' when they set
them aside fora "rest . period
they are • neglected .and :allowed'
to ,dry out ;''They . need the light
provided • in a southern exposed
1>wndow and.keep the soil evenly'
moist but never sodden. An ::acid
type, :fertilizer should;:: be used
according to. directions .'of the
manufacturer. Plants are usually
'propogated' from 'seed, cuttings.

The next 'query is about .the
Jersusalem C h e:r r y (Solanum
Pseudo -Capsicum). This • bright
cheerful inexpensive little plant
is very popular ' at Christmas
time. The round cherry.;like ber-
ries are at first green, then 'yel-
low '• and then red, giving.: the
plant probably the longest• "bloo-
ming" (really fruiting) period
of any. plant: • Undoubtedly the
secret of success with these plants
is to .procure. them very .early . in
the fall before . the florist has
moved them into :Warm 'quarters.
Your , plant ''adjusts, better • under
your conditions.' The plant can
be put out into the garden to
keep it.,; After fruiting cut it.
back -to within inches or s� • of
its main stem and set out of 'doors
in a shady "spot. If it is to be re-
potted use, the ,average ,soil mix-
ture,
It does best. ,in a southern ex-
posed window, or possibly- west.
When watering, soak, allow to
approach dryness,. then soak
