LIGHT, HEAT AND VENTILATION 



living-room, while others require a cooler situa- 

 tion for their best development. 



Most dormant plants and those making little 

 growth during the winter may be kept much 

 cooler than the ordinary flowering plants. 



The plants should not be exposed to the cold, 

 wet rains of late fall and early spring. If this 

 is done and the leaves of the plants turn yellow 

 and drop there is little need to ask "What is the 

 matter with my plants?" If they need a wash- 

 ing, place them in the sink or bath-tub and spray 

 them. It is true that this takes more time, but 

 it is vastly more beneficial to the plants. 



VENTILATION 



Give the plants fresh air daily, for it is just 

 as necessary to plant life as it is to human life. 

 In cold weather open the door or window far- 

 thest removed from the plants and allow the 

 fresh, cool air to mingle with the warm. On 

 pleasant days nearer windows may be opened 

 for a time. Cool, fresh air will not injure the 

 plants unless they are exposed to its action for 

 too long a period.
