Throwing Light On In The Era NewmarketAurora Wei Sept Gera mums I Time For Dividing Peonies BY JOHN If only my geraniums would grow bice grandmothers is the complaint of many an apartment or home window gardener They remember with nostalgia that red ger anium in grandmothers win dow which bloomed all winter despite fight conditions which were far from ideal During the depression days the use of geraniums in the garden went out of style and it was only about 10 years ago that they were received with enthusiasm Since then the demand has been so great that its been hard for the plant growers to keep op with the supply These have been for outdoor only and geraniums a house plant were also un popular as bouse or apart ment plants when varieties were introduced that had brighter and larger flowers Unfortunately these needed more sunshine to keep form ing buds and stayed barely alive during the dark months of November December and January INDOOR LIGHTING Recent research has pro duced new kinds that will bloom well in the winter months when sunshine is at its lowest ebb of this is being helped along by the introduction of the special light growing fluorescent tubes which duplicate quite closely the full sunshine con ditions found outdoors in the garden With the new light lubes you will be able to grow in doors lateblooming varieties such as Ricard Red Landry Mine Landry and Pink Giant They need a long day to bring them into bloom and this means that the fluorescent lights will need to be turned on from four in the afternoon until nine at night to lengthen the day Two sets of tubes are now on the market One is the wide spectrum Gro Lux a new tube which is richer in red light so important when growing geraniums indoors The other is the Optima tube which provides the same sort of light conditions In homes or apartments without fluorescent lighting the best winterblooming kinds are those that flower the earliest in spring The various Irene geraniums are excellent All of the Fiat group except Red Fiat are also among the best Fiat Enchantress a fine salmon- pink is the most satisfactory winter bloomer of this class- The ivyleaved kinds vary a great deal in their ability to bloom during the short days of winter but are worth trying to see which does the best Research has shown that the scentedleaved ger aniums soon become lanky and look ugly best to give this type a trial under the new fluorescent lights where better success can be expected GIVE PLANT SPACE Youll find that any ger anium will grow better in a five inch pot rather than smaller ones The trend for the past five years has been to use lighter and lighter soil mixtures This has not worked out too satisfactorily either in the home or out in the garden A simple mixture consisting of three parts top- soil one part humus and one part sand should grow a first class geranium indoors For humus you can use peat Could Newmarket John Walker and Ford Robinson both of Aurora have received pro motions

recommendation for watering geraniums is to keep them on the dry side For those growing outdoors this works well but it must be modified indoors Here dont allow the plants to be quite dry if you wish lots of bloom A watering every other day will keep the soil moderately moist at all times its also important to keep the humidity around the plant up to per cent A mechan ical humidifier Is the most satisfactory way of doing this Standing the pots in a tray or pan fitted with gravel and containing an inch or so of water will also boost the humidity in the air consider ably During the next year or
