most beautiful and brilliantly 
colored of all foliage plants.

of these colors, often shot with

tip to vou ladies—the colors 
are just the shades that are

decorations. You can match,

much) but the rest of the time 
they are amazingly beautiful.

Use Your House Plants Out- 
doors During the Summer 
Why not, during the sum- 
mer, move at least some of 
your house plants, pots and 
all, to your patio or porch 
where you spend so much of 
your own time then? There 
you and your friends will en- 
joy them more, and they will 
help decorate the place. 
Many house plants, such as 
Geraniums, Petunias, Sul- 
tanas and Lantanas to men- 
tion only a few, are good dur- 
ing summer in outdoor beds 
and borders or for edging 
along walks and driveways. 
Come fall, they can be dug 
up, potted, and brought in- 
doors for the winter. And, 
of course, many are ideal for 
outdoor window and porch 
boxes, and hanging baskets.
