THE WINTER 



Well-grown specimens will be literally covered 

 with flowers of most lovely shades of red, rose, 

 cherry, and pure white, some single, some 

 double all beautiful. They last for weeks if 

 kept in a cool temperature. The room that 

 suits the Ten-week Stock and the Marguerite 

 Carnation will suit this plant perfectly, there- 

 fore the three make a fine combination for 

 cool but sunny windows. 



NO winter window-garden collection can 

 be considered complete nowadays if it 

 does not include such bulbs as the Holland and 

 Roman Hyacinths, Lilium Harrisii, and sev- 

 eral varieties of Narcissus. These can be potted 

 in October and November, put away in a dark, 

 cool place to form roots, and left there until the 

 first of January or later. Bring them out when 

 the top has begun to push up, and they will soon 

 make vigorous growth under the combined in- 

 fluence of warmth and light. Plants potted in 

 the months named ought to come into bloom 

 in February. 



It must not be understood by the reader that
