Start tubers
this week
Dahlias, lack the .hdines
of many eering-flowering bulbe,
That's why they must be stored
indoors over the winter. Not a
true bulbous plant. the dahlia
grows front a bulb -like tuber.
To get early flowering plants,
start the tubers indoors., about
the first of April,
lese flat boxes and sandy
loam. First. lay the 'tubers on
their sides with the buds point-
ing upwards. Cover them with
about 2 inches of soil. Be sure
to give them plenty ,of moist-
ure and a warm location,
When growth starts, the
.boxes may be moved outside,
provided protection from night
frost is afforded by polyethyl-
ene bags or glees. eL's not safe
to go ahead with garden plant-
ing until frost danger is past.
Horticulturists with the on -
(ado Department of Agricul-
ture suggest spacing the large -
flowered varieties about 3 feet
apart. Smaller types will do
well with 2.foo( spaeing. Place
the plants about 6 inches deep,
but cover the shoot with only
3 inches of sail. As growth pro-
gresses, keep tilling in the hole
until ground level is reached.
Press the soil down fairly
Dahlias need ivell-drained
soil and plenty of water. Be-
ware of high nitrogen fertiliz-
ere; t hey _encourage leafy
growth and flowers often do
poorly as a result,

Many flower lovers dream of
windows full of flowering
plants bringing the joy of the.
outdoors into the house.
This week we saw that dream
realized as we visited the *home
of Mes. Percy Passmore, John
street, who has sunny south
and east windows full of stur-
dy geraniums flowering pro-
fusely* foliage plants, bego-
nias, cyclamen and many ether
A'arieties of house plants. •
The sunroom windows fee-
ing south and east are ideal
for geraniums MUM love the
sun. These plants are all
young, being started last eon -
son but have grown healthily
and have many flowers, They
have recently been topped by
taking off slips which will be
ready for outdoor planting,
Mrs. Passmore has nitily
varieties of 'geraniums includ-
ing the appleblossom and Mar -
the Washington or pansy -flow-
ered and colors vary from
white, pink, red to magenta.
Most of these are a mass of
flowers. When the warm wea-
ther collies they will be
planted outside,
She also has quite an inter-
esting variety of coleus or fol-
iage plants as they are corn-
monly called. They are noted
for the variety of colors and
markings, on their leaves, Al-
though they do produce a
flower it is disregarded and in
fact is usually pinched off.
These, too, will go outdoors
when the weather permits,
They do not like ()idle as
much sun as the geraniums
it tends to facle—and even burn,
the leaves,
Cyclamen
There are, also, in this sun -
room three cyclamen which
Mrs, Passmore has had for
eight years and are a picture
of bloom. One has around 40
flowers in a rjch rose -pink
color. When they finish flow-
ering they are gradually al-
lowed to die away and placed
out -of -sight till. ,fall.
"When you look at. them in
the fall they appear to he dead
but with a good soaking in
water and warmth they come
along to :flower again", she
said,
African violets
But the piece de resistance
to many people would be her

Two films on cancer were
