WiIINUUW UASHS, 
These are made on the principle of the window boxes, 
with glass all round and above, thus enclosing and pro- 
tecting the plants from winds, storms, dust, and other 
adverse influences’ to which those in simple window 
boxes are exposed. The cases being built against the 
window access is obtained by lifting the sash. This may 
be raised the greater part of the day, but closed when 
necessary to prevent ‘dust settling upon the plants; also 
when the ‘room becomes hot from the burning of gas or 
from other cause. 
During severé weather, ifthe sash be raised, the warmth 
of the room will help to keep the plants free from frost. 
The Ferns may either be planted in soil or kept in pots, 
When in the latter they will need water more frequently 
than when planted out, as the soil in a pot dries more 
quickly than a larger body filling the bottom of the case. 
If exposed to the sun the case must be shaded at al 
times when there is risk of the Ferns being scorched.
