It is very true that many house plants. receive far too much water, and this causes decay and death of the plant, A successful orist told _me to always test my plants by rapping upon the pot be- fore watering them. _If the pot rung clear the plant needed water. If the sound was the reverse, a dull, heavy sound, the plant was to be let alone. :-He always tested all his greenhouse `plants in this way, and 1 was a most successful -grower. The - roots aloneare not the only import- ant parts of the plant; The leaves i need water and considerable atten- L ti_on, for dust 7 clogs the pores and prevents -the plant from getting I If moisture.

The water should not be cold, `but about the same temperature as the" room. vlf the house is heated-by -steam or furnace, it is well that water -should be kept in some receptacle in the room, to prevent the `air becoming dry.
