Care of House.
Plants for the

Best Blooming}

lt is-ruther. diféienlt to keep house
plants in good condition throughout a
long winter, ‘hence. a few hint. smay be
useful. Some ‘plants make but little
grow during whiter; and while they

are this at rest or nearly so, they!

should te give njust enough water
to prevent. the roots ‘from drying 1)
This appHes: particularly to palms,
hydrangea, and fuchsin, the two lait-
‘er being kept in o cool place. Plants
which are growing. should be kept
well watered, ‘but {t ig important to
, see that no water necumulates In the
pot or-in the jardiniere in which the
plants are sitting, otherwise. the root
will rot und the plant not thrive.
This often happens to large _ ferns.
Plants should be watered only when
the soil is becoming dry, and then a
thorough wetting should be ‘given,not
every day ns is so often done, -
Geraniums. should be kept close to

_the window where they will get much

light ‘and sun to ‘have them bloom
well. Most: blooming . plants‘ such as
geraniums, eyclainens, impatiens and
Imlbs, do better ‘If kept in. a imoder-
