Floral Notes.

Cover the plants while sweeping to protect them from the dust. All bulbs coming in flower should have a great dtoal of water. Bring your hyacinths from the cellar when you wish them to bloom. Do not water house plants too often, once or twice a week is enough for most More plants are ruined by too much water and "too poor light than in any other way. * , Cultivate as mahy plants as you have room for and you will discover to your gratification that room Will grow with the floral habit The use of commercial plant food on plants in the house will be found much more desirable than stable, manure; it is clean to handle, is easily applied and usually more satisfactory. Sickly plants are not worth bothering with. Throw them out and start afresh.
