night temperatures showed very little damage from thrips, even though 

 there were some thrips present on the plants at the end of the experiment. 



Suggested summer care 



Browallias are more satisfactory when grown as house plants onlv 

 one season. It is an annual plant that is easily started from seed. For 

 good spring and late winter flowering plants, the seed should be started 

 in August and grown along in a cool sunny window in flats or pans until 

 large enough to transplant. When plants are about two inches high they 

 may be potted to the container in which they will flower. From then 

 until flowering size, beginning when the plants are quite small, they may 

 be given a maximum sun in either a south or east window. Along in the 

 spring it may be necessary to shade the plants slightly or move them to 

 a location that does not get full sun. Plants may be flowered on through 

 the summer in pots, placed in window boxes, or set out in the garden. 



Chrysanthemum Pot Plants 



The chrysanthemum is one of the flowering perennials that can be 

 used as a fall flowering plant indoors. About four months or more are 

 required to grow good potted specimens, but the culture is not at all 

 difficult under most home conditions. As different varieties of chrvsan- 

 themum vary in their time of blooming, it is possible, beginning with 

 early hardy varieties, to have flowering pot plants from late July to 

 early December. The later blooming sorts are those ordinarilv grown
