and Vigoro worked into row. Heavy 
top growth, almost no root. Threw 
them over the fence. I am _ puzzled 
about them. 

A. B. Klein, Ft. Pierce, Florida. 
Inclosed is a Bryophyllum leaf 
which should interest you if you have 
never had it. 
Lay the leaf on a table. After about 
10 days new sprouts and roots will 
grow from it. When new sprouts are 
about an inch high, place leaf on soil 
so roots can dig in. Do not plant it, 
just sprinkle a little dirt (sand_pre- 
ferred) on it and water at times. When 
the new plants are two or three inches 
high, they may be detached. Frost 
will kill it. 
I was delighted to get the leaf. | did 
have Bryophyllums but lost them in 
the December '45 blizzard. Then an- 
other friend in Florida sent me several 
leaves, and I handled them as Mr. 
Klein directs, except that I did not 
have table room for them. Used one 
pound coffee cans half filled with leaf 
mat from the woods, then filled with 
rich dirt. Laid the leaves singly on 
this dirt, put them out on the stands 
when weather turned warm and now 
have a nice stock of young plants. 
One of the nicest features of my plant 
hobby is the kindness of other gar- 
deners. 
Am also puzzled about my Tali- 
nums. They seed themselves and are 
about six weeks late this year. Was 
afraid to advertise them in last issue, 
but have plenty now. They bloom very 
early from seed and the bloom some- 
what resembles pink Baby’s Breath. 
Have a long season of bloom; then be- 
come dormant. Can be set away in a 
dark closet and given a little water 
about twice a month. Will start new 
growth earlier than seedlings and come 
into bloom sooner. Tender to frost. 
Mrs. Mary Cady of Wrights, Penna., 
wrote me of an odd experience. ““One 
of my friends once told me of an odd 
experience she had. She had set two 
clumps of red Peonies on either side 
of some white lilies which bloomed at 
the same time. The next season the 
Lilies were a pale pink. They con- 
tinued so each year, but any bublets 
replanted elsewhere were white. 
Strange, wasn’t it?” 
] hope reporting this circumstance 
will not bring wrath down on Mrs. 
Cady’s head, as was my fate for re- 
porting to Horticulture of the remark- 
able behavior of a Rose bush in a 
friend's yard. I was reprimanded by 
an official of the Rose Society, and a 
nurseryman and several wrote me to 
instruct me, though their instructions 
had no acquaintance with the actual 
facts. 
‘“Whatsoever therefore ye eat, or 
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to 
the glory of God.’’—I Cor. 10, 31. 
If this means what it says, then it 
means that God expects us to do our 
very best in our everyday lives and 
work. The Bible puts much stress on 
doing our very best. The Lord makes 
it plain that He will not accept any- 
thing short of that. Then most strikes, 
demanding pay for work not done, 
slow downs and all such tricks are 
brazenly against the Bible. Evidently 
their inspiration comes from the other 
direction; and Christians should take 
ay
