FOR AMATEUR CULTURE 



we suspect it, and the mischief thus done often 

 resuhs in speedy failure. Water hanging 

 plants as well as you do the plants on the sill 

 and there is no reason why you should not 

 grow good ones. 



The writer does not want to be understood 

 as meaning that the plants made mention of 

 in the preceding pages include all that are de- 

 sirable for window-culture because the list is 

 not extended to greater length. Such is not 

 the case. He has spoken only of the kinds he 

 considers best for that purpose — the kinds 

 that the beginner in indoor gardening will be 

 most likely to succeed with. 



A study of the catalogues of the florists will 

 enable the ambitious amateur to discover 

 many other kinds that can be grown in the 

 window-garden. But he would advise con- 

 fining selections to this list for the present. It 

 is well to wait until you have gained some gen- 

 eral knowledge of plants before undertaking 

 to grow those which require a good deal of 

 care and attention.
