WINDOW GARDENING 



It is better to purchase young rubber plants 

 from the florist as they are very difficult to prop- 

 agate. 



TRADESCANTIA 



The Tradescantia, or wandering jew, serves 

 well as a basket or bracket plant where the stems 

 have an opportunity to droop. (Fig. 3.) They 

 will do well in shaded positions but require an 

 abundance of water. 



Soil prepared according to formula No. i 

 will do well for them. The Tradescantia are 

 best propagated by cuttings planted in pots of 

 fresh soil.
