34 Gardening Under Glass 



all the plants I already had from my little 15 x 20 

 foot greenhouse; such as Geraniums, Begonias, 

 and Ice Plant" (Mesembryanthemum it is called 

 in the catalog). Right here let me remark that 

 if the seedsmen's business could be killed by 

 names, it would have been buried long ago. 

 And all others mentioned in the last chapter. 



Did you ever grow plants from cuttings? If 

 not, you may find some helpful suggestions in the 

 next few pages. We pretty much cut to pieces 

 all the new plants I had bought, to get all the 

 cuttings we could from them. 



Of course, all of these are simple little things — 

 for some of them you may not care at all ; but the 

 point is, you can begin to have your fun choos- 

 ing the things you want, selecting them, growing 

 them yourself, if you like, as soon as you know 

 you are going to have a winter garden. 



As you will see, with the aid of frames you can 

 have a whole garden full of things ready to go 

 into your glass garden the moment the roof is on.
