WINDOW GARDENING. 



73 



Figs. 60 and 61 are two exquisite flower stands, very suitable for setting 

 in the parlor window, just under the drooping lace curtains. 



Fig. 61 is constructed of iron, but 

 has a basin above filled with sand, in 

 which may be grown either bulb or 

 cut flowers, placed in moist sand. 



Fig. 60 is a lovely basket of rustic 

 work, principally of the same ma- 

 terial as that from which our cane 

 chairs are constructed. It is filled 

 with ferns, drooping plants, Smilax, 

 and has a great variety of other 

 plants too numerous to mention in 

 detail. Such a basket can be easily 

 obtained or constructed at any furni- 

 ture store, and filled by any florist. 



Fig. 62 is of Terra Cotta, delicately 

 moulded in the form of vase rather 

 than a plant stand, and filled with a 

 profusion of charming plants from 

 Tulip to Achyranthus, and Snow 

 Drop to Fuchsia. 



Every one who wishes to learn the 

 best plants foi' such purposes will find 

 full descriptions in Part Two. 



Figs. 53 to 59 need little explana- 

 tion. Every one has necessity for 

 some plant stands for the pots before 

 i,.j„ 62. the window. All these designs are 



constructed of iron or made of wire and in countless patterns and devices. The 

 cost is but very moderate ranging from $5.00 to $25.00. All are easily movable 

 and light.
