VI WINDOW GARDENING. 



the necessity for many changes, and called for the addition of 

 much new matter. 



The book is strictly what its name implies, a manual of 

 " Window Gardening," and contains all the information neces- 

 sary for the culture of plants in the parlor. 



It is not an expensive book, but is a manual of culture for the 

 many ; and its price places it within the reach of all who wish to 

 brighten the dark days of winter by the presence of flowers in the 

 window, or who enjoy the home-culture of the pet geraniums, the 

 monthly roses, or the dark-leaved ivy, which often, under the con- 

 stant care of loving hands, thrive better in the chamber-window 

 than in the costly greenhouse. 



The present volume is but one of a series of cheap works on 

 different horticultural subjects ; another of which ("Popular Flow- 

 ers ") is already before the public, and of which others are in 

 preparation.
