PLANTS FOR WINDOW GARDENING. 123 



Where plants are needed for effect, and little attention 

 can be given, palms and agaves are eminently useful. All 

 winter they need little care, and, provided they are well 

 grown in summer, will only from November to April re- 

 quire an occasional watermg ; in fact, the care to give is, 

 to see they are not over-watered. Of course we cannot 

 give full descriptions of all; but, as a general rule, any 

 green-house palm will thrive in the parlor, and well repay 

 the little care it needs.
