BY A. R. BUCKLEY Given the proper soil and other necessary conditions, there is no house plant easier to grow than the rex begonia. Furthermore, this plant has infinite varieties of many-colored rough-textured foliage of interest for every day of the year. Many new ones now available are perfectly suited to every kind of dwelling fro m the small country cottage to the modern suburban bungalow or split-level home. Types vary from the small Baby Rainbow, which is not much larger than a saucer and is very colorful, to the large ones that grow more than a yard across and have leaves a foot or more wide. There are varieties with silvery leaves, with red leaves; or deep velvety-green leaves with lustrous red hairs. There are cut-leaved types and elephant-ear types, all of which command and receive very flattering remarks from visitors. All have appropriate names. For example, there is the Glory of St. Albans, an English introduction with leaves that reflect the rose-colored tints of a cathedral window. Others are Fireflush, the leaves of which appear to be on fire when light strikes them at an oblique angle; Solid Silver, with leaves that appear as though painted with aluminum, and Iron Cross, whose leaves have a large, dark red cross on a silvery-green background. These fibrous begonias are surface feeders with hairy rootlets, and therefore must not be potted too firmly. The soil should remain loose so that the roots can penetrate easily. A good potting soil consists of equal parts of good garden loam, sand and leafmold or peat moss. Add to this One part of will-decayed cow manure or one-half part of commercial dried sheep manure. Then to each bushel of soil add a three-inch potful of bone meal. Do not overwater. The plants should be kept just moist all the time, but not so wet that the soil is soggy. They adapt themselves well to a wide range of temperature, which should remain fairly constant, For Since that date he has been a member of the Canadian Army (Regular), and the Royal Canadian Air Force. He has served in Europe and the Middle East, coming to CFB Clinton in 1966. CPL BASE COMMAND We have a Limited Supply OF SEED CORN STILL AVAILABLE!! HENSALL DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE HENSM.I.

The best location is close to a well-lighted north window or a westerly window shaded most of the day. One of the most important requirements of the rex or painted begonia is fairly high and constant humidity . Set the plants in a tray of sphagnum moss, or pebbles that can be kept moist, and occasionally spray them with water through an atomizer. They will amply repay your kindness by producing a very rich velvety sheen over the surface of the leaves. These beautiful plants will grow in window boxes provided they are shaded and sheltered from the wind. Instead of planting them out, it is better to set the pots in the window box and fill in between them with sphagnum„ moss, which should be kept moist at all times. Plant numbers can be increased by several methods of propagation. In February or March cut off a mature leaf complete with an inch of stem. Turn it upside down on a table and cut through the main veins with a razor blade or sharp knife just at the place where the veins divide. Next, turn the leaf right-side-up and place it flat on a box or pot of sand. Use a hairpin or wire to peg it down. Water well with a fine rose can or an atomizer and cover with polyethylene. This is all the watering that -will be needed. After a two or three week period at average room temperature, small plants will form at the place where each incision was made, and at the stem. These little plants may be potted into one-inch pots willed with a sand-peat mixture. Another method is to cut the leaf into triangular pieces, each with a good-sized vein, and insert them on edge in sand and cover them as above. A third method is t6 take leaves, each with about an inch of stem, and insert them around the edge of a pot of sand. The base of each -leaf should be located about one-quarter inch below the surface. Eleven workshops throughout Ontario are part of the organi- zation which The Ability Fund (March of Dimes) uses to rehabili- tate disabled adults, training them to do work, helping them to gain confidence and self-respect and as- sisting them towards independence.
