WINDOW GARDENING.

Fig. 49 is a very pretty little flower basket, made of wire work, painted green. 

 It is supported underneath by a frame work of wood, either oak or pine, neatly 

 decorated, and having castors attached by the legs, for ready removal. 



A zinc tray of perhaps four inches depth, is fitted inside the wire which holds 

 all the earth and water, (which all other baskets of this construction should have,) 

 a small aperture for the withdrawal of the water, and fitted with a small stop 

 cock which should be hidden from sight. The plants kept in here, are to be 

 packed in moss and will, with occasional watering, keep fresh and green upon 

 the surface. 



Fig. 48. 



Figs. 50 and 51 are simple stands to be used for the same purpose, or can be 

 adapted to the keeping of cut flowers. The top of No. 51, is covered with a 

 small movable brass wire grating, the meshes being half an inch square, to sup- 

 port the flowers, and keep them in an upright position. 



Pig. 50 is more convenient for preserving small plants, just in bloom, packed 

 in with moss. This is, also, covered with wire work of brass. 



Pig. 52 is a plant table, made of any style of wood, the heavier the better. 

 It is of considerable depth, and will hold a large quantity of earth, is also lined
