Dear Lady: Make your next cake with SWANS DOWN CAKE FLOUR, you can be ’’sure of From The Windowsill We saw African Violets, white ones, pink ones and various shades of blue blooming with lots of vigour inside* the window of Bailey's flower shop. They were a welcome sight on such a dreary day. So we asked Mr. Bailey for a few pointers on growing the plants at home because so many times we have seen plants that either have a great flourish of leaves and no blooms or a few blooms and sick looking leaves. The first consideraton is wat­ ering and feeding according Mr. Bailey. It’s much better the plant to be dry moist, and the leaves come quite limp when needs water. In fact it be watered until it really needs it. If it has too much water, the roots begin to rot. Feeding is another important factor in successful raising of the plants. A good commercial fertilizer, preferably one which will dissolve in water, is adequate. This should be used once every two weeks in the regular water­ ing session. Although experiments have been made lately in watering the plants from the top, Mr. Bailey recommends watering Them from the bottom by placing the pot in a saucer of warm water. The temperature of the water de­ pends on the depth of the sau­ cer. At any rate, it should be ■well above room temperature. What about spots on the leaves? This is caused from a combination of water and sun. A drop of water won’t hurt a leaf too much if it is out of the -dir­ ect sunlight. However, if the sun has a chance to evaporate the water, the leaf will turn brown in the spot where water -was. In fact, the plant should nev­ er be in direct sunlight for any length of time. A window where light is constant but not bright, or a north window where it is not too cold is "best. Mr. Bailey recommends leav­ ing the plant in one spot in the the That way, _ having a cake to be proud of—a dream of a . queen of a cal^e. Swans Down is the perfect answer to cake bakers’ doubts.
