Show CARE FOR THE HOUSE PLANT Should Have Plenty of Water by Soaking In Tub or Plunge In Bath Tub to Refresh Them. (By FRANCIS I.. RISLEY, Rookvill. Conn.) Plants that have been in the house all winter in a dry atmosphere will dry out quickly. Give plenty of water by soaking in a tub or a plunge in the bath tub and spray the leaves often. This will refresh them, and also destroy de-stroy the red apis which multiply continually. con-tinually. If there are any scales on Colyxes Closed; Too Late to Spray for Codling-Moth. your ferns use a small tooth brush and mild soap suds. Use some soot on your plant soil. A handful to two gallons is enough. Let in fresh air two or three times a day, moderately, so as to accustom them to it. Use only rain wtaer on calla-lilies. Blow some tobacco smoke on the plants almost al-most every day. |
