Show POTTED PLANTS IN THE WINTER SEASON Plant Should Be Made as Nearly Natural as Possible Air and Sunshine Needed. It must be borne in mind that a plant in a pot is trying to develop itself under unnatural conditions and it must be assisted in every possible way, and the conditions under which it labors should be made as nearly natural as possible. It must be supplied sup-plied with fresh air In liberal quantities quanti-ties as frequently as the weather will admit. It must be given the benefit of all sunshine furnished by the short winter days, if It is a sunshlne-lovlng plant, as most flowering plants aro. If it is not particularly fond of sunshine sun-shine it will require good light In liberal amount. And In order to make development as thorough aa possible, and lay the foundation for future good work in the production of flowers, it must be supplied with all the nutriment it can make use of, for no plant can do itself justice unless II is well fed. And water must also be given in proportion to the needs ol the plant at this season. |
