THE RIGHT ANGLE
Make this spring’s pruning chores easy on your hands
—and on your plants—by sharpening dull blades now.
Use a small metal file, pulling in one direction across
the blade at the same angle as the cutting edge. You
may also use a tool specifically made for pruning and
lopping blades,
left,
to get the right angle. Resharpen
blades after every 2 to 3 hours of use.
For buying information see page 204.

TROPICAL
TOUGH
A new generation of sturdy
anthuriums may help tropical
plants shed their reputations
as fragile beauties. These
varieties keep their blooms
for several weeks with little
care, even in dry, dimly lit
interiors. ‘White Gemini’,
above
, and ‘Peppermint’,
below
, are available at garden
retailers nationwide.
