to the window garden and the small conservatory. It 

 is hoped that the book will commend itself to school- 

 teachers and owners of small conservatories, as well as 

 to the grower of plants in the windows of the dwelling. 



The photographs used for the illustrations were pre- 

 pared, under the direction of the author, by Mr. O. L. 

 Foster, a commercial photographer of Lafayette, In- 

 diana. 



The writer also wishes to acknowledge his indebted- 

 ness to Professor Stanley Coulter for many kind sug- 

 gestions and criticisms.
