SPECIMEN PLANTS FOR HOUSE 

 DECORATION. 



Many persons, loving plants, refrain 

 from having any, as it is generally known 

 that gas is injurious to vegetation. 



In our home gas is used both for light- 

 ing and cooking, yet I have grown beauti- 

 ful specimens plants of sanseveria zeylan- 

 ica, asparagus tenuissimus, Boston fern, 

 and asparagus sprengeri without difficulty. 

 As each of these makes a large plant they 

 suffice for indoor decorative effects in 

 most homes. Every warm, pleasant 

 morning I set them out on a sheltered 

 porch and shower liberally with luke- 

 warm water. Leaving them out till dry, 

 serves for an airing. If more than a week 

 elapses without favorable weather, I 

 shower in the kitchen. Also, I never 

 fail to water them ever>' morning, and 

 occasionally add a few drops of ammonia 

 to the water.

A LAMARQUE ROSE. 



I have a Lamarque rose three years old. 

 For the first two years I grew it as a 

 shrub — that is, I kept it pinched back 

 and root-bound, but the third spring I 

 repotted it in a x^ry large pot and gave 

 it the very richest soil possible, mixing in 

 a large portion of well rotted cow manure. 

 This has grown to the height of ten or 

 twelve feet, has sent out numerous side 

 branches from the main half dozen 

 branches, and when in full bloom is ex- 

 quisite. The large creamy white roses 

 are perfectly double to the center and 

 the fragrance is delightful. This takes 

 up a large portion of any pit but is well 

 worth all the care given it, I have never 

 seen this recommended as a pot plant, 

 but this with my INIarechal Neil, are two 

 of the best blooming and most exquisite 

 roses I have, 



I keep soil well stirred, now and then 

 pat in a top dressing of rich earth, and 

 twice a week give liquid fertilizer.
