You'll want them green and healthy next winter when they will be the center of attention again. The best method of feeding your house plants is to use liq uid fertilizer. If some of the plants have outgrown the containers and become root-bound, repot into a larger container. A good potting medium is a mixture of three parts loamy soil, two parts peat moss and one part coarse sand. To this mixture add one cup of 20 percent super-phosphate to each bushel of prepared soil. Bone meal may be substitut ed for the superphosphate. Many house plants do bet ter out of doors in the sum mer, if they are adapted to outdoor conditions. They may be grown on porches, terraces or in the garden border. This would not apply to African violets and cer tain sensitive specimens. A good way to carry many types of house plants through the summer is to bury them up to the rim of their con tainers in a choice site out of doors. A layer of gravel at the base of each pot will as sure good drainage.
