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

retairuni

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.
