Florists and nurserymen re port that the indoor gardening hobby in the last 15 years has shot upward like Jack's bean stalk. Today, women and some men are potting everything from ivy to African violets, from mother - in - law's tongue to or chids. The results of their hobby show alike in one room city apartments and small green houses in suburbia. By far the greater increase has been in cultivation, of green or foliage plants, rather than the flowering such as azalea or hydrangea, florists said. Green plants last longer. One florist explained that "even with the worst care, they're good for at least six months." The first and only govern ment census on the subject, is sued in 1949, showed that 35 million "unfinished" and 39 mil lion "finished" green plants were sold. More Plants Sold Unfinished and finished are commercial terms to describe the degree of a plant's growth by the time it reaches the home. The unfinished are the smaller, less mature. "The number of plants sold has more than doubled since that 1949 count," said Truman Fossum, a horticulturist and ag ricultural economist, who com piled the census. Fossum, now with a New York advertising I agency, then was on loan to the I Department of Agriculture from I Cornell university's department ot iionculture. He gave three reasons why more of us have turned "dish gardener," his term for the in door green thumbers who culti vate plants in containers rang ing from decorative dishes to small wash tubs. Housewives Want Change The biggest one is availabil ity. Shipping facilities have been so improved that now trop ical-type plants started in such warm areas as Florida and Cal ifornia are available in most parts of the nation. Home decoration is another. Housewives want some "break" from the starkness of modern homes and their furnishings. Plants help provide it. Indoor gardens (the term "house plants" now is consid ered old-fashioned) also help bring the outdoor look to homes with masses of glass walls. "And," said Fossum, "as we get more urbanized, we grow more indoors. It's the desire, to YOU CAN BUY THE BEST FOR LESS! ? voii -OL- 199 HAUkw KA a Loci i keep a little of nature around. Sort of spring the year round. Fossum said there is even one Sari Francisco store which runs an. orchid re-conditioning serv ice.' The grower can take his plants in for fumigation, a bath and a change of soil.
