2 Milady's House Plants 



Abundance of Roots 



The essential point to remember, regardless of 

 dates or. temperatures, is that the plants must havle 

 an abundance of roots, the lower part of the pots 

 being packed with them, in fact, before they are fit 

 to be brought into the warm room to flower, and the 

 place most congeriial to them during that early period 

 of root forming is the cool, moist earth.
