Flowering Plants for House Decoration 85 



The Final Disposition 



Unless one has a garden and proposes to grow them 

 on for future use, perhaps the best course, though 

 somewhat shocking, is to throw them on the rubbish 

 heap as soon as they have passed the ornamental 

 stage. In fact, the rubbish pile is regarded as a very 

 valuable adjunct to every well conducted gardening 

 establishment. Very little sentiment is displayed at 

 this stage of the game, all effort having been exerted 

 to properly care for the plants while they were alive 

 and useful. 



PRIMULA SINENSIS 



Undoubtedly a gem among plants for indoors. Some of the finest are 



grown from start to finish in cottage windows (see page 83)
