"To rnake your holiday plants remain
In attractive conditions as lone; aa possible
you should begin by selecting tha rlsht
varieties," a florist wild. 'Tor Christmas
ehoosa rich troena with red In tha highest
shades or with golden yellow. Had. and
gold are the best for winter decorations
because they accent Indoor brightness
when everything outside is cold and bare.
For Indcor decoration we choose for color
rather than fragrance.
"The neat piint Is durability, the length
of time a plant will last in or near per
ftlon. The really valuabue plant for,
Indoor decoration must be able to wlth
htutid great variations in Unlit, heat and
moisture.
"The Indian azalea stands first among
the flowering plants used for Indoor
decorations. These plants are now so com
m m with us that many people believe them
natives, whereas the truth Is not ona
is actually raised here. To supply tha
.American demand a huge Industry In
azaleas has built up In Holland, Uelglum
and Franc.
"As a tula they came to us early In the
fall, i.re at once put into the greenhouse
and are forced for Christmas and Kaster
decoration. While there are more than
,100 varieties only a few are suitable
for the purpose of forcing for indoor deco
ration. The most popular are the Deutsche
I'irlr. which has a snowy while flower
and the Vci aemantt. a brilliant pink."
( Klad of Plant to Boy.
"When bujlug an azalea select a plant
on which the blossoms are not yet fully
opened. The plant with the mass of open
flowers may appeal to you as being the
most perfect and making the bravest
how, but you must remember that after
perfection comes the fading of the flowers
and that within a few days tha blooms
will have none and only leaves remain.
"It Is much better to have a much less
showy start with a plant that is filled with
buds Just opening. Such a plant will be
come more and more beautiful as the days
pans and will often if properly treated last
several weks.
"Potted azaleas are grown in two style,
the low dome and the taller conical. By
all mens choose the tall conical style.
The low dome is by far the more common
because It makes the greater show, but the
tall shape Is not only more artistic, but,
other points being equal, lasts longer. If
a good selection Is made and supplemented
by Intelligent care an azalea bought for
Christmas will carry at least a few blos
soms through the winter and be ready to
set out in the yard or boarded with
a florist when warm weather romes,
"While azaleas urc Indoors, as the flowers
fade, tha dead corollas should be picked
off and the roots kept w:i watered so as
to encourage new growth. About once a
week a small quantity of liquid fertilizer
should be given. Such fertiliser Is to be
bought in powdued form at almost any
good seed store for a few cents. A small
package wl'.l be sufficient for half a dozen
plants for the entire season,
raring; for the Plaatt.
"When the weather Becomes sufficiently
warm and settled the plant may be set
out of doors In a slightly shaded spot
where there Is free circulation of air, but
not in the direct rays of the sun. During
the summer the object should be to keep
the roots cool and moist. Thla can best
be accomplished by sinking the pot up to
Its rim In the earth and watterlng con
stantly.
"When cold wnather returns it should
be taken in ami can be easily made to
blossom with more or less freedom In the
wln'.er garden. I'nder no circumstances
should the roots of the azalea be allowed
to get dry. This will cause Mie leaves to
drop and kill all the flower buds in progress
of matuiing.
"The Uloilo de Lorraine begonia come
next after the azalea In point of popularity
for Indoor decoration. It is so profusely
flowering a plant that often all the foliage
la entirely hidden.
"Individually the flowers are rather
small, but taitcn In the mass they make
a Korseous effect In pure light pink. When
first introduced In trt.s country It was ho
f aulitul that from being a novelty of the
f, usuii It became at once a standard holi
day plant. It lasts two long weiki. and
after flowering It should be cut back se
verely If you wish to carry It over another
j ear.
"It Is normally a winter bloomer and
does best in a cool, bouyant atmosphere.
Heat, especially dry heat, will cause It
to deteriorate rapidly and under the usual
conditions it la not always possible to carry
It over lor another year. It is best where
the begonia Is intended for the living room
to buy plants that are already In bloom.
Water moderately and keep as cool .as
possible without subjecting the plant to
chilly diiiuglits.
t.lorioua Polnsetta.
"The most gorgeous of all Christmas
plants Is the polnsetta. The stalk varies
from one to several feet In height and Is
adorned all Its length with rich green
leaves surmounted with a rosette of
loosely arranged brilliant carmine bracts
),rjt tile rame siie as the leaves, sup-

cluster of Insignificant yellowish
porting
flowers.
"There should be at least two stalks In
pot and threa or even fle give a much
better effect. I know of nothing more
effective for winter Indoor decoration than
few polnsettas of varying height ar
ranged with a group of pure foliage plants.
Unfortunately these plants will not
stand draughts. When subjected to chills
the leaves shrivel and fall. Without a
greenhouse It is quite useless to try to
carry one over to aneither year. Even
with a greenhouse If good plants are de-
sired It Is necessary to raise them each
season from cuttings.
The bee heath Is the most satisfactory
winter flowering heath. The flowers are
small, but It makes up In profusion what
it lacks In size. If treated like an azalea
It will flower the following year. 1 have
known of plants that bloomed winter after
winter In window gardens, receiving only
the attention bestowed on ordinary red
geraniums.
It Is a showy plant and Inexpensive,
The cyclamen is another showy flowering
plant that may be had for a small price.
If one cares to take the time it can be
readily raised from seed in a window garden.
"Not only are the flowers beautiful In
both color and form, but the follago is
prettily marked and very ornamental when
tha plant la thrifty. Like the ordinary
geraniums it thrives with a minimum of
care If only protected from tha frosts. It
Is excellent at a table decoration.
Orchid for the lloase.,
"There is only one orchid that I recom
mend as a house plant under ordinary
conditions. It is the lady's slipper, with
flowers of yellowish green and browns.
Though It Is not very showy It Is an or
chid, and that fact alone makes it Inter
esting to the average flower lover.
The flowers, even when cut, last a
long time. It can be grown in the living
10 m aa easily as a geranium and will
blossom profusely In tha dead of winter.
When there -are few other flower to be
had.
Besides these plant desirable because
of their flowers there are two red berries
shrubs especially suitable for Christmas
decorations and particularly desirable be
cause the berries endure from on year to
another. The ardlsla Is formal In appear
ance with alternate tiers of red berries
and rich green leaves.
"Besides being extremely beautiful It Is
about as hardy ss any house plant that
I know. It will endure for years, both the
leaves and berries keeping their color
and luster in the alternate heat and chill
of the ordinary living room, with a vary
ing degree of moisture and as much or as
little light as you will supply, I recom
mend it highly to persons who are look
Ing for an ornamental house plant that
will grow under adverse conditions. Its
berries are about the same size and color
as the holly, while it leaves lack the un
pleasant prickly spines.
"The second desirable red berried house
plant Is the sktmmla, which, though far
less often seen, is quite aa desirable as the
ardlsla. These plants are Imported from
Europe and are already In full berry when
they arrive. A plant of this kind should
be cared for as the azalea and will flourish
under the same conditions. If kept away
from the frosts It will do very wall In the
window of the average living room
One with Yellow Berries,
"A fitting companion for these two red
berried plants Is the small fruited Otahelte
orange, it Is the only plant with a yel
low berry to be had at this season. Un
fortunately the fiuit is neither so plentlfu
nor so lasting as either the ardlsla or th
sklmmia berries. It has, however, the ad
vantage of being easily carried over from
one season to another. It can be success
fully grown in a window, where It will
bloom and add a welcome fragrance to the
room. ,
To make your holiday plants remain
attractive as long ss possible, after making
a judicious selection you must be careful
to seep mem in a coot room. if you
must keep them In a warm, dry room be
careful about opening windows near th
plants, as a draught will make them drop
their leaves and berrlea about as quickly
.k lack of water on their roots.
