22 NATURE STUDY AND AGRICULTURE 
5. Seeds, germination, and seedlings. — The window garden affords 
a convenient plan for conducting the study of seeds and their germina- 
tion as outlined in a previous chapter. In fact, those experiments are 
probably the most important thing for which the window garden may 
be used. 
6. Other exercises and projects suitable for the school garden and 
window garden may be found at the end of the chapter on Soils, and 
many others may easily be devised by any teacher who is interested in 
investigating or illustrating the science and art of raising plants. 
7. Oral or written composition. — Give a carefully prepared account, 
either oral or written, of your experience in carrying out some of the 
suggestions in this chapter. Be sure to make your report clear as well 
as interesting. Some of the preceding projects would be suitable; for 
example, 
a. How to grow hyacinths (or other bulbous plants). Project No. 1. 
b. From slip to flower, or the history of my geranium (or other house 
plant). No. 2. 
c. Ornamental planting on our school grounds (illustrated with a map). 
No. 4.
