Many plants will be benefited to a 

 considerable degree by an application 

 of lime, especially in houses where 

 bone meal has been used liberally. 

 Lime seems to make it possible for the 

 bone which remains in the soil to be 

 taken up and utilized. Fresh, air- 

 slacked lime is good when free from 

 lumps, but probably hydrated or agri- 

 cultural lime is preferable, although it 

 costs more. It's a good plan to work 

 the lime Into the soil before applying 

 water. Of course, no good grower will 

 use lime where he has just put on a 

 fresh application of manure, bone or 

 tankage. Lime is not needed to make 

 the fertilizer available at first, and 

 too much ammonia would be liberated. 

 While this advice about lime applies 

 to many plants, it is especially applic- 

 able to the growing of roses. 



This has been an exceedingly diffi- 

 cult winter in all houses where it has 

 been necessary to keep the tempera- 

 ture rather high. The severe cold 

 winds have made unexpected inroads 

 on the coal pile and only thoroughly 

 well constructed houses have been 

 kept at the right temperature without 

 undue forcing of boilers. Many grow- 

 ers have run their houses cooler than 

 they would have preferred, and with 

 the coming of the warmer weather it 

 will be desirable to push the tempera- 

 ture up again. Sixty-four degrees at 

 night is about right for plants start- 

 ing into growth, but when flowers are 

 coming a little cooler temperature is 

 needed in order to develop large blos- 

 soms. In any case watch out for mil- 

 dew if you have to conserve coal, and 

 keep the heat on well into the evening. 

 Foggy, cloudy days are especially 

 dangerous, and care must be taken 

 then to keep the temperature up. This 

 is good practice also after watering. 



It is not an easy or even a pleasant 

 task to perform, but all the drainpipes 

 should be put into working condition 

 before the big thaw comes. A thaw 

 is inevitable, and unless pipes, catch 

 basins and sewer openings are free, a 

 lot of damage is likely to be done. 

 Sometimes it pays to have a few tile 

 drains laid where water frequently col-
