CHAPTER IX 



Flowering Plants for House Conditions 



Those that are sure to succeed — The most floriferous 

 and also easily grown — Kinds for sunless windows — 

 Shrubs and bulbs that will flower at any season — 

 Begonias — Callas — African lily, etc. 



A WINDOW garden without some flower- 

 ing plants would be monotonous, but in the 

 majority of cases palms and other plants 

 grown for their foliage will be the more easily 

 managed. The constant change added to 

 the living room . by the growing of some 

 flowering plants will, however, more than 

 repay for any trouble one may be put to in 

 order to have good specimens. 



In addition to the plants mentioned in 

 other chapters the following plants may be 

 grown in the house with reasonable ease. 



FOR SUNLESS WINDOWS 



Next to the geranium I believe the fibrous 

 begonias will give most satisfaction. They 

 are easily grown, and will remain in bloom
