PLANTS IN A UVING-RCXDM. 



Will too much steam cause the leaves 

 of geraniums and hydrangeas to drop 

 when kept in a living-room during win- 

 ter? C. A.P. 



FROM ALL SECTIONS. 



A dry, warm atmosphere, such as is 

 found in the average living-room in win- 

 ter, will cause the foliage on geraniums 

 to turn brown and fall off. They prefer 

 a cool room, not above 55 degrees at 

 night. Your hydrangeas should have 

 been rested in the cellar during the win- 

 ter and any old foliage now remaining 

 on them may be expected to fall off. 

 They are better kept cool and rather dry 

 from November to March, and at this 

 time should lose their foliage naturally.
