The Gardening season may be pro-I longed after frost has cut down plants and a great deal of pleasure derived by cultivating a few plants indoors. The window garden may consist of a jardiniere with one plant or a few choice potted plants on a stand, to­ gether with a few bulbs forced for winter blooming, says John F. Clark, Horticultural Specialist, Ont. Dept, of Agriculture, Toronto, Potting Thoroughly wash old pots before using a second time. Avoid using too large a pot and remember your plant should be removed to just the next size larger. The best soil is leaf mould from the woods, mixed with any fresh loam and a little well rotted stable manure. Place broken pieces of flow­ er pots on the bottom of the pot for good drainage and then add a quan­ tity of soil, placing the ball of roots exactly in the centre. This will leave a free space all around the pot which may be sifted full of soil and firmed down until the soil is within an inch of the top of th epot. After re-pott­ ing. give a good watering, but after this be sparing of water until the plant shows signs of new growth, which will take place simultaneously with its making roots in the fresh soil. Proper Position The position for the plants during winter is’in windows with a southern or eastern exposure. Plants need all the light they can get in winter, es­ pecially those that are expected to bloom. To prevent draughts which are injurious to many, the windows should be tight. Draw down the blinds at night and endeavour to keep an even temperature at all times, Avoid extremes of temperature, but bear in mind that plants require a sup­ ply of fresh air. Tender plants should * be moved away from the window on nights when real cold snaps are perienced. Atmosphere The most common difficulty growing plants in the home is. very dry condition of the atmosphere. If pots are placed in a fernery on small blocks, water may be left on the bottom to provide humidity, or water soaked moss may be placed around the pots. If the plants are in the kitchen, a pan of water may be left to boil, permitting the steam to escape. The foliage will need cleansing from time to time to free it from dust. .Tile bathtub is an excellent place for this purpose, the plant being turned on their sides and supported on a small box above the bottom of the tub. Then they may, be freely syring­ ed without soaking the soil. The fol­ iage of Rex Begonias should be clean­ sed with a piece of dry or only slight­ ly moist-cotton. In the case of Rub­ ber Plants, Aspidistras, Palms and Amaryllis, they may be sponged off with a damp cloth. Watering No water should be given until the plant actually needs it. All soft-wood­ ed plants, with a large leaf surface, need more water than varieties and a plant in luxuriant growth needs more than one which is I sickly and cut back. Pests and Prevention There are a few kinds of insects which infest house plants and as soon as noticed they should be eradicated. Among the most common is the Aphis or plant lice. The lice suck the juice from the tender portions and soon permanently injure the plant, As a cure and preventive measure, take 4 ounces of Ivory Soap, cut into fine pieces, cover with water and boil un­ til melted, when a gallon of water may be added and the foliage of the I plant completely immersed in the mix­ ture. Tliis is' also effective against Thrip, Mealy Bug, Red Spider and Scale. Lemon or Fir Tree Oil pro­ vides a good remedy for those pests and full directions accompany them. Resting Most plants require a period rest, just as a human being needs sleep to prevent becoming exhausted, so a plant requires something correspond­ ing to sleep. We must imitate nature’s way of doing things. Outdoor plants grow for a season and rest for a sea­ son, and without that rest period they will soon be robbed of vitality and cease to appear at their best. When a plant ceases to bloom and shows an inclination to stop growing by ripen­ ing its leaves, encourage rest by with­ holding water in a great degree, also pernritting a less amount of light and heat than it has been receiving and withhold all plant foods. Place it away In a darkened room, in the cel­ lar and seek to keep it as near a standstill as possible. Do not become alarmed If the plant drops alt its leav­ es, for when it is brought to the light in spring, new foliage will appear. fl Domino Baking POWDER - -t - Lb.
