Very often 1 a ne vhouse plant costing two or \ three dollars is received into a 5 home where, though it is valued and t acclaimed with enthusiasm for its V [beauty and cheer, there is distress-|l ' ing doubt as how it should be cared ll for. And naturally, you want thatil plant to last as long as possible, 1 don t you ? You want to get all 1 the good out of it you can. Al- 1 though there is no special trick tol it, it is well to remember that cer-I tain types of plants demand cer- 1 tain conditions. 1 A Cyclamen plant, bright with its: amelike, exotic blooms, is deliver-|l ed to the door. Set proudly before; i a window or on top of the piano,, it is conceded. to with due rever- ence by all in the household. Then`l isomebody, usually father says:l1 :What are we supposed to do with 4 it ? Minutes of silence.

This is safe practice, saving you work and fuss when you want to bring it into the house in early September. The fAza1ea enjoys partial shade during: the hot `summer. In September, `lwhen you lift it from the 1.,-'arden, set it in a cool place indoom un- til it is ready to begin forcing. which is about six or seven weeks `before Christmas. It is then the |buds begin to form. When the buds ,|`beg`in `to fatten, bring it into the living` room Where you can have the fun of watching it come into {lower again. l Should a Jerusalem Cherry ap- pear at your home give it precisely the same treatment as you would an ;iAzalea. Remember, don't move .lthese plants out of or into llower ,I pots because they are cranky about lhaving their roots disturbed. It . does them no harm" to make them ,=keep right on _2`rowing in their ori- glginal pots. Again you are l'ortun- pate if you have received owering 5 Begonias or -Impatiens plants. These are specially noted for the great 1 length of theirblooming period, al- .ways lending" cheer to dark winter days. Either of them will continue ,- to flower in a_ shad_\' part of your, not nee(lin_u' as much sunli_2'l1t` as most other o\verinf.r plants. 1 Primula obconica is with- out exception the best indoor il0\\'- ,I(,'l'llL[`.` plant of all. It is able to - withstand more varied changes or 'tempcrature than any other l10u.~'e liplant. It iblooms the whole year oground. The tall mauve, pink or blue owers are borne in ciu. above stems about ten inches tall. t-;'1`he leaves shape themselves into Kl t*larg`c rosette supporting the liower 3 stalks. To some people the leaves -_ of this particular primula are irri~ y tating or poisonous only when t.he;v' 5 -'come in contact with the skin. But at remember, only the P. obconica can be charged with this offence and not the P. rmalacoides, P. sinensis and the many other Primulas. A Chinese Primrose and a Primula are the same thiirg. All the Primulas like plenty of water. 1 3 I-leudfines and Hone} (Continued from pa_2'e two) Reading by me. Meebe this would be enough, but ifnot l could read some more.
