HAKRISBUROt STAB-INDEPENDENT, TTTHRBDAY EVENINO. DECEMBER 3, 1914. TROPICAL PLANTS FOR THE INDOOR WINTER GARDEN Palms, Oleanders, Aspidistras, Cacti, Etc., Are Easily Kept In Good Con dition If Given the Proper Atten tion During the Frosty Season Washington, D. C., Dec. 3.—With a little care, a number of tropical plaints may be grown indoors, anil during the winter they are u particularly attrac tive addition to a bay window or con servatory garden. Various kinds of palms, rubber plants, oleanders, aspidistras, and cacti are easily kept in good condition indoors if given the proper attention and not permitted to be exposed to frost, according to the Department of Agriculture's horticul turists. Paims are much used for interior decorations where there is uo direct Bun light. Reg Alar watering js essential, with especial care not to overwater. It is 'better v,\oa moat palms to keep t'hein a litit'le dry than too wet. W'here a pot is in a jardiniere especial care must be exercised not to have them too wot. While small, wash the foliage occa sionally with soap Simla made from a good soap. Immediately follow with a thorough rinsing. When too large for tliis, spray the tops frequently with clear water. Browning at tlhe tips usually conies from trouble at the roots—first, over watering; second, worms on t)he roots; third, lack of plant food. The first is the troivble in nearly every case. Tttte worms that gave the trouble is not the ordinary earth worm, but a little white, harmless looking creature that emerges into the air as a small fly. Dissolve a piece of quick lime as big as a tea cup in throe gallons of water. After it is through sputtering and the milky mixture has cleared, pour off the ■dear part and soak your soil with it. Do not dilute, for the soaking should be thorough. To provide jlant food, stir small quantities of bone meal and wood ashes into the surface or in place of ordinary watering occasionally use manure water or ammonia water (a teaspoonful of ammonia to a quart of water). Trim off the brown tips, as tihey will never recover. If tlhe leaves turn yellow, look for scale on the un der side and be sure you are not over watering. Wash the scale off or spray with kerosene emulsiou or Whale oil soap, or some nicotine preparation. Do not repeat too often. If a 'palm grows three new leaves a year it does well. Rubber plants are especially satis factory to grow where tflere is a good lig.ht without direct sunlight. Water often enough to keep the soil moist, but do not under any circumstances permit water to stand about the roots nor al low it to become "bone dry." A potted plant set iu a jardiniere needs especial care not to overwater. Was'h the foliage frequently with soap suds made from good soap. Rinse thoroughly at once. Hepot occasionally as the pots be- Kiome full of roots. Feed once in two to four weeks with dilute nitrate of soda (a heaping teaspoonful dissolved in water) or anunonia water or manure water as described lor the palm or some prepared plant food. Oleanders may be treated more or less as are ]>alnis. Aspidistras are most ornamental. They should be kept rati)or drier than paims and rubber plants. Cacti require ra'bhor dry sandy soil.
