months because they provide
so much color and pleasure to
family living during the win

If you have rooted cuttings
to pot try this mixture: 3 parts
of good loam soil; 2 parts of
peat moss; and 1 part of coarse
sand, all of these by volume.
To this mixture add 1 cupful
of 20 per cent superphosphate
to each bushel of•prepared
soil. Bone meal may be sub
stituted for the superphos
phate.
I suggested peat moss be
cause it is readily available
and a good clean source of
organic matter. You may sub
stitute leaf mold or well de-.
composed compost for the
• peat.
If the garden loam is heavy
or clay-like, you should use
two parts of sand. If the
garden loam is llg^t or sandy.

If a good soil mixture is
used at potting time, the plants
usually do not need fertilizer
for two or three months. How
ever. well established and
actively growing plants may
need a small amount of fprtl-
llzer every five or six weeks.
Do not fertilize restingplants.
The best method to apply
fertilizer to house plants is
in liquid form. If a soluble
fertilizer is used, be sure to
follow the manufacturer’s in
struction. If a dry garden-
type fertilizer is used, such
as an 8-8-8, dissolve one
teaspoonful In one quart of
warm water. Stir well and
let stand over night before
applying. Use enough of the
solution around each estab
lished plant to wet the soil
well.
If some of your plants have
outgrown the container and
have become root (pot) boimd,
re-pot In a larger container
using the same mixture as
suggested at the beginning.
Many house plants do
better out of doors in the
summer if they are adapted to
outdoor conditions. They may
be grown on porches, ter
races, or in the garden border.
