at night, many people fail to account for the damage done to young shoots, roots, 
and flower-buds. KILSLUG placed on the benches in the late afternoon will attract 
them, and they will be found dead in the morning. 
HOUSE CULTURE 
There are a number of varieties which grow successfully in dwelling houses, 
and those recommended are Cattleya and its multigeneric hybrids, and Cypri- 
pediums. While the conditions are apt to be dry and more or less subject to drafts, 
they will thrive very well if one keeps the foregoing directions in mind — par- 
ticularly relative to night temperature and humidity — and uses a fine hand spray 
on the foliage on bright days. The use of a metal tray under the plants filled with 
pebbles and kept damp will greatly assist in keeping the air moist around the 
plants. 
CONCLUSION 
The amateur can grow healthy plants and enjoy beautiful flowers in his 
leisure time if general directions are followed. Many of the chances for failure can 
be eliminated by precautions taken upon acquiring plants. Buy only established 
plants of strong, healthy growth and free from disease and insects at the outset. 
Keep your plants clean, learn the simple rules for temperature, ventilation, water- 
ing, shade and light, and your efforts are sure to be crowned with success.
