Points On
House Plants
The chief 'difficulty encountered in
growing ,plants in the biome is the
hot, dry atmosphere, writes , Miss Ise-
belia Pneston, Division of ,Horticul-
ture,. Dominion Experimental Farms
Service. This can be controlled .to
some extent by keeping dishes of wa-
ter on the 'adiators and spraying the
plants with a mist -like spray of wa-
ter. The spraying helps to destrloy
insects and keeping the foliage of
plants 'free from dust encourages
good growth. Light le another neees-
sity.-and-. a. -_Window. that has sunlight
for several hours a day is required
for most flowering plants, but ferns
and other -•plants grown, fromtheir
leaves will do well without sun. Fresco
air is essential but draughts and sud-
den of temperature must be
cdhage p .
avoided.
The soil should be fairly rich and
porous so that water drains out of it

All should be thonauglhly mixed and
slightly !Moistened.
If new clay pots are used, they
should be soaked in water for a' time
and dried before usi'n'g. Old -pots
should be tperougihly :scrubbed; both
inside •and out. Before putting in the
doll, some broken creeks ehouid be
placed over the drainage holies. Pots
eliiould not be larger than is neces-
sary to 'hold the roots. It is better
tb sJbart a plant in a . small pot and
then repot it into a larger one wheel

Plantsshould be watered often' en-

to do it. The soil in glazed pots must
not be allowed to dry out, but it will
require less water than that in a Daly
pot, and if allowed to become sodden,
will soon affect the plant.
Succulents
There are a 'num'ber of different
species of plants in this group, though
they are all called Cactus by slopae
dealers. The majority of -.'the,m, re-
quire light doll, and not' very much
water, and:thrive in hot rooms. The
Christmas Cactus is a very attractive
:house plant when in bloom, and some
people are able tm manage it so well
that"it blooms every year. About the
end of Settenvber, this plants should
be encouraged to rest by giving was
ter only twine a week. The flower
buds stllbuld be formed in November,
and more water will be required. Af-
ter blooming, a rest 'period with lit-
tle water is desirable. The other
plants in , this 'group are grown for
their peculiar shapes and not for
their blooms. •
Flowering Plants .
The geranium is well known and
often does well in sunny windows.
They should not be grown' in large
pots, as they bloom better in small
ones. Plants, that bave been grow-
ing in, the garden in summer, -can. -be
taken up and the roote and tops cut
back severely, and potted in sandy
soil. When the roots become active
again, repot into richersoil, but soil
too rich in nitrogen .must be avoided.
Cuttings taken in Summer make the
best plants• for winter' bloom:
The ever-bliooming, small flowering
Begonia eem:perflairens is one of the
trout satisfactory !house plants. `The^
flowers are .small, but there are al-
ways ,some td be found, • The leaves
are reddish w nen grown in hot sun
outdoors, but generally turn green fn
the winter. Cuttings are easily root-
ed in water -from the bran•obes that
grew too long to be desirable.
The African' Violet (Saintpaulia)
seems to do best in a place where
it get§ plenty of light, but not direct
sunlight. It sometinlds takes- a long
time to start int? bloom.
Petunias can be treated like ger-
aniums, or, seedlings can be potted
and grown in the house,.
• Foliage Plants
Colis the plants often called
"Foliages,'." should be Cut back like
geraniums, and grown in.a. . sunny
dew. • If they leek', l.igbt, they lase
their colour. Ferns of a.11 sorts re-
quire little direct sunlight, but dis-
like the hot, dry atmosphere of cen-
tral heated housies. The soil for them
should contain more leaf mould or
peat than other plants require. They
are very subject to attacks by scale
insects, and a constant watch should
be kept for them, and any . found
should be destroyed at once.
Rex and other fancy leaved Bego-
na•s do well in houses, and their var-
iegated foliage add a nate of colour
to a group of ferns.
The Aspidistra is' supposed to
grand adyee e conditions better than
most plant's!. When well grown, the
r e
rich. green of the large leaves es
is very
attractive. When the pots become
crowded, it is better to divide the
plant rather 'than pot it into a large
Pot.
Constant • watcah must be kept for
insects, as once they become numer-
ous, it is almost impossible to conn
trol them.

ter or ice seems, or because of Pail:
ure of the lawn. to 'drain rapidly in
the spring, thus ea oureging disease..
Consequently, every effort should be
made to ensure proper drainage. In
some eases -where the subsbril is very
compact, tile drai'nts are necessary in
order •to provide" adequate under-
drainage. It is important that there
are noelew areas in. the lawn surface.
Shallow depressions may be levelled
by top-dressdnygewitin geed top sail. In
the case of deeper: hollows it may be
necessary to 'rift the turf, build up
the level of the soil to the desired
+height with good' topsoil and then
replace the sod.
All Heaves and other brush should:
be raked from the lawn during the:
Fall. The practice of providing Win-
ter covers of manure, straw, leaves
or siimillar materials is not recom-
mended, since they are not necessary
and frequemtiy de 'more ha1-m than.
good. In addition to being unsightly,
such covers tend , to smother the
grass, favour disease, and harbor in-
sec.tsi. Manure and straw contain
numerous weed- deeds. Leaves are
particularly. :harmful since a mat of
wet leaves will another •the grass
very quickly. If Manure is used on
the lawn as a top -dressing it should
be finely pulverized mid worked down
into the turf so that no lumps lie on
the surface. Ally manure used should
he -t'horoughl'y decomposed and free
froth weed seed. •
- Several of . t'he late Fall operations
are designed to combat the disease
known as - snow mould. The fungus
causing this disease thrives under
moist, cool conditions!. Although it
May occur in the Fall, Winter or
Spring, it is usually most prevalent
in the "early Spring when the snow
is melting. In the first stages of the
disease areas of the turf beoome cov-
ered with a white cottony 'growth.
Later these areas become gray in
Dolour and finally the affected grass
becomes light brown+. In serious cas-
es the diseased turf is killed. On
lawns where the disease is known to
be' prevalent it is a r good policy to
treat for snowmould in the late Fall.
An application of a mixture consist-
ing of. 2-3 Calomel and 1-3 bichloride
of mercury, at the'4''ra.te of three to
four ounces per 1,000' square feet prb-
duces satisfactory results. The best
way . to apply this malterial is • uni-
formly over, the area. Even distri-
bution is essential. It is desirable to
lightly water the lawn immediately
after application. These materials.
are extremely poisonous and cone -
sive to metals, and should be handed
aecordin.gly. .
It is a common practice to neglect
the lawn after the final nriowing in
the fall. There are, however, a num-
ber of operations which may be car-
ried out to good advantage. Although
the gras:s may be permitted, ,to go ins
to the winter slightly longer than the
normal height, a long, matted growt'la
is definitely undesirable. It is re-
commended. that the turf be cut as
long as it is making active growth,
say's J. H. Boyce, Division of Forage
Plants, Central Experilm,enettl Farm,
Ottawa. '

The first prize for the best
plate of •rolls (8 io assorted
shapes) at the 1940• Canadian
National Exhibition, Toronto,
went to Mrs. Wardlaw Norris,
R.R. 3, Bolton, Ontario. And
every woman will want to know
how she made her rolls. Here's
her advice and recipe:
"One secret of making good rolls
or bread is to keep the temperature'
right while the dough is rising.
Then to regulatethe oven so they .w
bake so an even golden colour.
Another important point is so use
Robin Hood Flour. I have used
Robin Hood for four years andI find
it is always of the same high quality.
Robin Hood Flour makes the dough
very elastic and easy to shape into
fancy designs. It also [lakes the
rolls very white and fine of texture.
Tempting to look at and delicious
to eat. Another great advantage of
usieg Robin Hood Flour is that you
are always delighted with all the
baking you turn out?
