GROWING PLANTS FOR 



easier culture. Indeed, I know of no other 

 plant that requires so little attention. It will 

 take care of itself if you give it water enough 

 to keep the soil about its roots moist all the 

 time. A plant in a six-inch pot will often 

 have as many as two hundred leaves on it. 

 From this some idea can be gained of its deco- 

 rative capabilities. No one need be without 

 material for the decoration of the table at any 

 and all times who has half a dozen of these 

 Geraniums. And they will add quite as much 

 to the beauty of the window as to that of the 

 table. They thus answer a double purpose 

 most effectively. 



OMALL plants of Dracena and Pandanus 

 O are fine for table use. Especially the 

 variety of Pandanus catalogued as P. Veitchii. 

 This has a white stripe running the entire 

 length of each leaf. The leaves are long, 

 slender, and gracefully arching, thus adapting 

 it to the purpose admirably. But neither of 

 these plants do their best in the window-garden, 

 and I would only recommend them to the 

 woman who has the advantages of the home 

 greenhouse.
