REPORT 



OF THE 



Committee on Window Gardening, 



FOE THE YEAR 1887. 



By Mrs. H. L. T. WOLCOTT, Chairman. 



The Committee on Window Gardening, in submitting the list of 

 prizes awarded, desire to state that the success of the last year 

 was most encouraging. Parents and teachers became conscious 

 of new interests in homes through this simple organization. 



The unavoidable necessity of detaining young children from 

 their homes for so long a part of the day, in bringing their plants 

 to the hall, and returning with them, became objectionable before 

 the end of the season. 



After some dela}-, and in order to overcome other difficulties, halls 

 have been obtained through the cooperation of others (Mr. Nath- 

 aniel J. Bradlee, the Church of the Good Shepherd, and the North 

 End Industrial School). By this means we hope to enlist cordial 

 sympathy in the aims and work of the Committee, and eventually 

 to secure sectional Committees, who will take charge of the various 

 exhibitions, reporting always to the Committee on Window Gar- 

 dening, at Horticultural Hall, Tremont Street, Boston.
