^WINDOW GARDEN 



$100 Worth of Plants Grown in 

 an Attic Window 



MY ATTIC garden consists of a skylight 

 4x6 ft. which is cut in the south pitch 

 of the roof. Under the skylight is a rough 

 box seven inches deep, four feet wide and 

 seven feet in length, made from pieces of 

 floor boards which were left by the builders. 

 The box is placed within a few inches of the 

 glass on the lowest side and is securely fast- 

 ened to the rafters above by wires. 



The floral display which this little garden 

 furnished would have cost nearly one hundred 

 dollars, if the plants had been purchased 

 from a florist. More than 700 strong thrifty 

 plants of nicotiana, balsam, stocks and cosmos 

 were started from seed. About 100 plants 



In this attic window more than 1200 bedding plants 

 were started for the summer garden, Sweet peas were 

 also grown for early spring flowers. 



of the Drooping Scarlet sage were also grown 

 (these were a brilliant show all of the late 

 summer and autumn) besides enough plants 

 of double petunia to fill a large bed and a 

 few given to the neighbors. More pansies 

 were grown than of any other kind of plant. 

 The little plants appeared above the ground in 

 from seven to ten days after sowing the seed 

 and grew rapidly, being large, sturdy plants, 

 showing buds when it came to be warm 

 enough to set them out, May ist. They 

 blossomed freely all summer ceasing only 

 when the frost of autumn came. The 

 varieties were: Snow Queen, Giant Madam 

 Perret, Meteor, Giant Persian Striped, 

 Emperor William, Black-blue and Giant 

 Adonis.
