THE FLORAL IVORLD 



plant, and some of the young plants 

 which were more liable to be frozen 

 owing to their situation, are still 

 sound. Do you think the plant would 

 live if all the leaves were cut off? It's 

 a magnificent plant, consequently we 

 would like to save it. 



Ohio. J. M. ECKERT. 



PLANTS MUST NOT BE NEGLECTED. 



People often say to me, "How is it 

 you have such nice plants? What do 

 yoTi do to make them grow? They 

 won't grow like that for me." My an- 

 swer is simply, that I never neglect 

 the plants. I love them and think of 

 them as living, breathing things. I 

 compare them sometimes to little chil- 

 dren. The neglected ones, like the 

 children of the slums we often read 

 about, are sometimes gorged, more of- 

 ten starved. Let plants breathe gas 

 and foul air, give them a drink once a 

 week and food once in six months, or, 

 on the other hand, gorge them, and 

 then when the leaves turn yellow and 

 plants wither ana droop like children 

 with diphtheria or scarlet fever, do 

 you wonder why it is? 



Even if the themometer stands at 

 zero, I open doors and windows every 

 day long enough to purify the air. I 

 give all plants that need it a warm 

 drink every day, food once a month, a 

 bath once a week, and many of them a 

 sprinkle or a sponge bath every day, 

 using a small, soft sponge and a dish 

 of water. Watch the leaves closely for 

 vermin and the earth for worms. If 

 found^ eradicate thoroughly. Punish, 

 when needful, by taking scissors and 

 clipping off leaves, buds and flowers, to 

 make them good plants. Shelter the 

 weak ones and give strong sunlight to 

 the hardy. Tenderly care for them at 

 all times and the leaves w^ill have a 

 glossy, eye-resting green, the flowers 

 will lift their little, fragrant faces to 

 you in thankfulness, and will repay 

 their care.
