Different plants require different treatment and temperature, but I find as a rule the majority treat them all alike and wonder why they do not have any “luck” with some kinds. For example, I gave my pet carnations just as much water, and as often, as my geraniums. They began to look sick and I lost three before I found out they did not require much wetting.
I’m thinking seriously of trying the different varieties of some one plant, begonias, perhaps. According to catalogue description they are admirably adapted to house culture. They do not require much sun and are free from insects. Most varieties blossom freely, and even if they did not the foliage is very attractive. Countess Louise Erdody is a curiosity and has a history. It was produced from seed planted in the garden of Count Erdody, a Hungarian, and named in honor of the Countess. During the summer begonias may be grown upon the piazza and a plant stand filled with well rooted specimens would be a beautiful ornament.
