CHAPTER XII. 



SELECT FLOWERING PLANTS SUTTABLE FOE WINDOW 

 GAKDENlNGt. 



|E have now arrived at a very advanced stage of 

 *•' our operations. We understand how to grow 

 our window flowers to the best advantage. I 

 will now select a few of the most suitable plants for 

 taking under your care ; and for the sake of those who 

 have the ambition to grow some of the rarer kinds of 

 plants I will make my selection pretty extensive. 

 The acknowledged leaders of window plants are the 

 universal Geraniums and Fuchsias. Their beauty 

 and easy management cause them to be general 

 favourites, and I will begin with them. 



Scented-leaved Pelargoniums. — Lady Plymouth 

 (variegated); Pheasant's Foot; Fair Emily; Fair 

 Helen. 



Large flowering Pelargoniums. — Bonnie Charlie ; 

 Charles Turner; Rifleman; Queen Victoria. 



Fancy Pelargoniums. — Bella ; Miss-in-her-Teens ; 

 Duchess of Somerset. 



Golden Tricolor Geraniums. — Mrs. Pollock; Lady 

 Galium ; Sir Robert Napier.
