GARDEN HINTS
When Winter comes, the
gardener’s attention is turned
to house plants. Whether you
have a single flower or an elab
orate indoor garden, these sug
gestions may be useful: Soil
for house plants should be
sandy and contain some leaf-
mold in order to insure good
drainage. The air inside is
usually dry, so sprinkle the
leaves occasionally, especially
the foilage plants. Too much
watering should be avoided.
House plants do better in small
pots rather than large ones and
should be placed close together.
Foilage plants are more suc
cessful than flowering plants
indoors. Ferns, Sanseveria
(snake-plant), begonias, cacti,
geraniums, Englisn ivy, peri
winkle, so-called “air” plants,
and the fleshy-leafed succulent
plants are a few of the many
plants that may be grown suc
cessfully indoors.
Why not give your gardening
friend useful garden tools for
Christmas? There are many to
choose from and they make
lasting gifts.
Order your spring seed cata
logs now and be ready to make
plans for your spring gardens.
There are many new plant in
troductions that are worthy of
trial, not only new flowers but
also many new vegetable varie
ties.
Fruit and ornamental trees
may be fertilized any time from
nov/ until March. I would not
advise fertilizing flowering
shrubs until February or March
The fertilizer used will depend
largely on the type of soil.
Examine your dahlia tubers,
gladioli corms, and other stored
bulbs or roots from time to time
through the winter to check on
rotting, insects, etc., and pre
vent any damage from spread
ing.
After your Christmas poin-
settas have finished blooming,
decrease the amount of water
and place them in a cool place
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
In the spirit of the Holiday Season, I send Greet
ings to all of you!
Ecusta is only beginning and, during the coming
year, we hope to bring it to completion.
I feel it fitting at this Holy Season—when “Peace
on earth, good-will towards men” is more needed than
ever—to send you a message of gratitude and cheer for
the god work and co-operation you have shown, and to
thank you all for your assistance in making Ecusta pos
sible.
I need your help and enthusiasm now more than
ever before. You have proven you are capable of good
deeds and it has been my ambition, at all times, to do
my share.
Much has been published about me in newspapers
and magazines, but all this v/ould not have been pos
sible without your co-operation.
My “old friends” in Champagne, Endless and
Boucher are, naturally, included in all I have said be
fore.
I sincerely hope that all of you, in the circle of
your dear families, will have a very Merry Christmas,
Y/hich I will celebrate with you in spirit, and pray thai
many more years will be ahead of us in which all of
us can work together in happiness, contentment and
prosperity.
Sincerely yours,
HARRY H. STRAUS
President.
