EILIPKI,EY Even tilQu#11 it is Winter 09W) there i5 no reason to give up the pleasures of gardening. Just look to your iedoor garden — and if you don't have one already, it is a good time to start for now plants are in abundant supply in the stores. The types of flowering and foliage plants you can grow indoors are limited only by the space yOu have available. They range from the simple cactus or snake plant to the more temperamental African violet and fibrous begonias, exotic bromeliads and lush tropical palms, philodendrons and miniature trees. If you are just starting your indoor garden, you may want to try several kinds. One easy way to get started is to visit your supermarket or grocer and look in the fruit and vegetable section. Seeds of oranges, avocados, pomegranates, dates and many other tropical or, sub-tropical fruits will germinate in the house fairly quickly and grow into godd house plants. Plant the seeds in a sand-peat-soil mixture and place 'near the heat ducts until they germinate. Pineapples will provide you with fruits to eat as well as plants for the house. Buy pineapple fruit when in season, slice off the crown of leaves at the top of the fruit, making the cut at the junction of the fruit and leaf bases. Insert this in sand and keep it moist and it will soon produce roots, when it can be potted in soil. The sweet potato vine may be grown from the tubers sold in some stores, but watch carefully for a bud .when buying; some wholesalers sterilize the tubers and render them useless for cultivation. If you Want to try one, put the tuber in a mason jar filled with water and arrange it so that only the bottom-half is submerged with the top-half rising from the jar. (Use cocktail sticks pushed into the tuber to hold it at the right height.) With the beginning of the new year and the slowly lengthening days, most house plants get ready to renew. their lease on life. Older plants that have been just coasting along through the short dark days of fall and early winter should be repotted now. Pry off some of the old soil from the top .shoulder and from :•. showy but not often seen vine, around the sicles; ,. „ or if the pots 'gloriosa, the gloriosa lily, in 'WC) are snail for the plant, ie'Por bright red and Witt seed, to start your indoor What to use for soil is a question most often asked by those who look out of the window and survey the hard, frozen ground. You can either buy a prepared potting soil in almost any .local store, or you can mix your own. One mixture that has proved very successful if used properly, eliminates garden, soil completely and thus avoids the danger • of introducing insects, worms and soil diseases. To make one pailful, mix the following ingredients thoroughly with your trowel in any large container; 4 quarts of perlite, 4 quarts flaky sphagnum moss, 2 quarts peat moss, 2 teaspoons of slow acting urea-form fertilizer and one teaspoon each of muriate of potash, superphosphate and ground limestone. All of these can be obtained at garden stores or from fertilizer dealers. The major difference between ' this mixture and true soil is that this potting soil should be fertilized lightly every two weeks with a good liquid fertilizer after the first six months, since the ingredients contain no appreciable plant food of their own. Failure to do this will most assuredly result in yellow or brown foliage which is Ihelfalliriark Tnalnutriticin, Clinton6 Nevo-RecPrd, Tboradey, January Auburn. and .District MRS, VVBS BRADNOCK 7 ,cfrresPenrient— phone 526.7595 of A, meeting to be held today Roy PA-L1.59o, otigirrom or the.

Orange garden. into containers two inches larger. At the same time you can' wash off the unsightly algae from around the sides of the clay pots, and the dried salts from the rims of old pots, whether plastic or clay. As soon as you see any sign of plant activity, you can gradually increase watering, Then loosen the top of the soil in the pots with your indoor plant cultivator and scratch in a little fertilizer. The kind used for African violets will do very well, or any other mild complete plant food. You can also repot those plants that are just coming to life such as dracaenas,' crotons, screw pines or pandanus. The same holds true for these which have just finished blooming, like the Christmas azaleas. Another enjoyable task is potting up a few tender bulbs for indoor bloom. There are many different kinds offered each year as well as the old standbys.'
