The simplest method of curing a houseplant of this pest is to dip the entire top of the plant quickly in hot water, about 140 to 150 degrees. Although this temperature is uncomfortably hot to the hand, it will not injure the plant unless left there. Repeat two or three times to get all the tiny pests. bath of soapsuds makes a fine BATH Ahealth bath for any plant, this being especially effective when aphis are found. Wash the plant thoroughly.

Spots of white cottony substance are actualy a living sucking pest which soon wreaks havoc on the plant, so watch out constantly for this, known as the mealybug. The best treatment is to touch these small white creatures with a swab of cotton about a toothpick dipped in alcohol. Be sure to keep the diseased plant quarantined and well away from the other plants until it Is cured or rid of the trouble. All succesful houseplant fans agree DAILY that it is daily care which is most important In having beautiful house plants. We cannot lavish attention on our plants, then forget them for any length of time. Remember, that any plant growing in a pot is already at a disadvantage with, unnatural soil conditions. Add the additional handicap of the heated and close atmosphere of the home, and we see how important is regular daily water"PLANTS MUST BE LOOKED AT REGULARLY," ing. said a wile Indoor gardener of long years past, and this is even more essential in our modern heated homes. There is no reserve supply deep down for the roots to draw upon', as In their natural habitat. We must supply weather and moisture. A few moments each day will work wonders on any shelf of plants. There is no fast rule on watering. WATERING Your' plants may need water every daye while your neighbors' plants may grow in a more moist atmosphere. A practical method of testing is to feel the surface of the soil. lilt feels dry to the touch then water should be given. Water should be applied slowly to that it will penetrate and not Just moisten the surface, and DO use care that your pots are not standing in water afterwards. Drain off surplus, once the potis saturated; unless it is a variety requiring such constant moisture. By all means see that your plants have plenty of fresh air every day. Open a window or door to let in a good supply, but do not chill your plants with a current of cold. Keep plants always away from drafts and sudden changes. EVERGREENS HARDY ,a Mrs. M. J.
