Geraniums
,Imagine your garden ablaze
with scarletand white
"Geraniums; or shimmering
- with the softer shades of pink.
To turn that dream into fact
this, •suinmer, start , garden
Geranium plants now -- from
parent plants wintered indoors.
'"i3efore starting plants from
'cuttings, think back 'to the
performance , of the parent
plants ast, summer," advises
Ontario Ministry of -Agriculture
and Food flower specialist,
Hughes. ."If ,the plants grew
poorlyTor-have crinkled leaves
or spotted foliage, they may be,
seriously diseased. There's
little point in propagating
cuttings from diseased plants.
Wait until the spring planting
season and buy new, disease-
free plants from a"top-quality
grower instead."
To take a cutting from a
healthy plant, remove a leaf
with a portion of its ,stern. Dip
the end of the stem into a
fungicide, such as captan, and
place it in a sterilized medium,
„such as perlitel. Supply the
cutting with some bottom, heat
to bring the temperature to
about 70 degrees F. This
temperature helps promote
callusing and root formation.
Keep the perlite barley moist.
After roots are established;
plant the cuttings in a small
container or flat filled with
soil mixture of one-third
pasteurized -soil, one third peat
and one third perlite. Keep the
plants in the -"bright, but
sunless, window of a Cool room.
To ensure they are ready for
transplanting in late May,
fertilize • them lightly and
regularly.

On a lovely day like today no
one can hardly go unreminded
of the Spring that seemed
almost here and then vanished
away with the corning in of a
late winter storm...or one of
those infrequently* spring
blasts. It is like having the
beauty of spring almost in our
grasp when suddenly it
disappears from our view.
There areexperiences like
this in the lives of people today
and it would seem life, is
spent ever on the verge of
something, beautiful and
wonderous when out of the
unforseen. comes an event or
circumstance which takes that
beautiful life out of our grasp.
Life need not be like this. It
has just been days since the
Christian Church celebrated
the Resurrection of Christ and
now we look forward to the day
of Pentecost... the coming of
the Holy Spirit , who would
guide, teach and direct God's
people in this life.

to deal with the particular
issues which are of importance
to united churches (those made

both Protestant and Anglican);
the-- :relationship
churches within the World.
Council of Churches and within
their own denominational
l'OUC07F-TrIMBIT

through God's word ... which in
any other circumstance would
sound hollow and empty. BUT
Christ's words have changed
the lives of many a person and
have made a difference in the
individual lives down through
the centuries that we can
believe them to be true ...
Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you: not as
the world giveth, give I uo
yoii. (John 14:27)
As we look around in he
world today we can hardly say
that there is peace even if we
see peace as a cessation of war.
the peace of Christ is the peace
that is within even in troubled
times ... a calm underneath the
waves of the storm.
This is available to ,all upon
-fulfilling the conditions
required by God... That if thou
shalt confess with thy mouth
believe in thine heart' that God
hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. (Romans
the10Lord Jesus, andshall
10:9) '
This is but a very simple act
of faith and yet the blessings of
God are great and greatly to be
desired.
