Irop. Thefx h' ng of the 1.. is one of I - S , i J This year, I hope, I am antici pating a little. "Usually in mid January, I receive , questions on how to care for the Christmas poinsettias and then It Is too late. It is important never to allow the temperature in the room where the poinsettias are kept, to drop below 60 de- arees, and avoid draughts, as these two mis- toVoa vmTI - tnr1 to make the f ol- 5 iage drop. retairuni leaves points in a well-j if. grown poisettia I plant. L. When flower- - urn. state ing is over and the leaves begin to fall, the plant should be dried off and allowed to rest in a warm place for three or four months. Then It may be plunged outdoors over summer. Plants must re ceive full light at all times, ex cepting when they are resting. The average modern house is kept too dry and too warm for the successful culture of native ferns, but many of the greenhouse ferns are from the south and Will thrive in an atmosphere kept moist and the temperature be tween 50 and 80 degrees. In car ingvfor the fern, remember it is not well to wet the leaves often. Water on the soil surface or by standing the pot in a bowl of wa ter until saturated. But it is im perative to keep the plant from standing in water. Keep the out er surface of the pot free from scum and wash the leaves about once a month. Never let them dry in hot sun, and do not place them in direct sunlight j Set Azaleas Out j - The so-called Indian azaleas, as well as some of, the Kurumes are frequently used as Christmas gifts. . Usually in spring, these should be set out into the garden for future bloom. Much of the al leged tenderness of azaleas is due more to dryness in summer than vinter cold. Remember that a mulch and some irrigation Is needed during the summer or you will lose your azaleas. Acid soil is required and the azaleas need a little more light than the true rhododendron, but all do well in semi-shade. A sawdust, or peat moss or oak-leaf mulch will prove beneficial. Do not plan to keep the hya cinth bulbs for further forcing. However, if the plant is treated correctly after it is through blooming it will do rather well in the garden. This means that water should not be given so plen tifully after the blooming as dur ing bloom, and as soon as possible set the bulb out of doors into the ground. You won't get any bloom the first spring, but you usually will the second, particularly If, a little bonemeal has been scattered over the soil in the fall. Those of you who have received or obtained, by yourselves, a lit tle evergreen tree which you hope to use.! again at some - future Christmas, should give that tree the utmost care. If it is potted in doors this year, never for min ute let the roots dry out. Once the roots of an evergreen have become dry, your tree Is gone.. If you have planted it out of doors, I hope you planted it not more than an inch deeper than it was growing in the first place. It will be very necessary to keep the tree well watered during its first few summers and a mulch over the soil will also be beneficial. Questions and Answers: Mrs. W. W. H. of Cutler City writes to tell me (in response to my remarks on various mayflow ers) that she had lived in Ver mont for many years and the mayflowers there were hepaticas and not trailing arbutus which some easterners have known as mayflowers. W. B. F. of Salem writes of his experience with naphalene flakes and gladiolas in response to a request of J. D. D. a few weeks ago. "Last year," says W. F. B "I had about 300 glad bulbs. I used 10 to 12 ounces on the bulbs and left them in the flakes until planting time this spring. After planting they were slow in coming up and about one-quarter of them never did sprout Those that did were awful looking some like corkscrews, others grew six to eight Inches and then doubled back. Only a few had . good blooms. In the spring, I purchased and planted more bulbs and these bloomed as glads should. I may be wrong, but I lay the failure of the bulbs I wintered to too much naphthalene flakes and this year I am .using one ounce of flakes to 100 bulbs and will only leave them in the , flakes SO days." (Thanks, W. B. F.) Mrs. T. R. T. (in reference to a holly article which recently ap peared in The Oregon Statesman and in which the holly was re ferred to as the material from which was made the crown of I Christ writes tnait sne nas neara of a plant named "crown-of-thorns," and does not believe the holly was so used. Ans.: In the holly article, the reference was made only as legen dary in some areas. There is a crown-of-thorns plant botanic ally known as Euphorbia splen dens, but I believe its common name was given it because the plant's stems curve and are thick ly covered with stout spines an inch or so long. E. R. asks if the pepper-vine will grow here. Ans.: I have never seen it here and the garden encyclopedias re fer to it as tender and a native of Florida and Mexico. Merry Christmas!
