Gordon Macmillan ‘Tor tho precious thing: of Heaven, for the dew and for the deep that courseth beneath, arid for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun. and for the precious things put forth by the moon, and for the chief things of the ancient mountains and for the precious things of the lasting hills" I I I Looking back over the year that is almost gone, we are full of thankfuiness, and we remember many happy gardening days. Gar- den visitors were interesting and appreciative and much was learn- ed from them of their gardens and homes in far away places. All in all it was a busy, happy year in the garden. if you have received a gift plant this holiday season and you wish it lo grow and thrive, remember that almost all homes are too liot and dry for plants. This can be overcome by placing the plants in_ a fernery or window box on pcpples or small stones with water underneath. Porous pots need this treatment. Of course those that are not por- ous need special care in watering as they have not any way draining. Several time: I have had to tip the plant out to let the surplus water escape, but if care is iiaken there is not any need of this. Some plants will benefit by a care- ful cleansing of the lcaves with a small brush or syringe. I I I Plants need fresh air just as humans do, but a direct draught is not good. My pansy Geranium is in bloom! The Peiargonium do- mcsticium commonly called Show Geranium, and Pansy flowered, or Lady Washington. These are not perpetual bloomers like the other Geraniurns in this group, and they usually bloom at Easter, but are all the more welcome at this season of the year. The showy flowers are often marked with dark colored blotches and the blooms come at the tip: of the shoots rather than than several inches back as is the habit of other Geraniums. Am very fond of these house plants and have seen some very large lovely plants covered with bloom that lasts a very long time. Cuttings may be taken after flowering and grown outdoors un- til September when they should be brought indoors and kept in a sunny window. Keep cool through the winter and be careful in wart-' ering. After flowering they may be placed outdoors and rested. then trimmed into shape and re- potted in good rich earth. I I I In apple blossom pink (Garden- er's Joy) to Amaranth Red (Eas- ier Greeting) we have a good range of color. The biotched varicitles are Mme. Layal and Schwaben Maid reddish car- mine.
