Plants for the Office Window 



Q. I want a beautiful plant for my office 

 window which opens on a court that never 

 gets the sun. I am sick of the conventional 

 florist's stuff. I want something new, prefer- 

 ably Japanese or Russian, or with flowers 

 six inches across, that will make customers 

 glad they came to see me. I want it to 

 bloom a month and throw it away if it gets 

 shabby. Henry R. Williams. 



New York, N. Y. 



.4. No decent plant can be expected to 

 bloom more than two weeks in such a place. 

 Why don't you try that beautiful little red- 

 berried Japanese shrub with waxy evergreen 

 leaves which the florists call Ardisia crcnulala 

 and the importers of Japanese plants Ardisia 

 crispa? It may cost you a dollar, but will 

 last two months, if you get your stenographer 

 interested. She will transfer it from the 

 window to her desk every night, so that the 

 janitors won't open the window and let the 

 winter wind chill it. If the berries drop off, 

 let her take it home, and the chances are she 

 will take good care of it for the next ten 

 months (it looks well all the year round) and 

 bring it back next winter with berries on it. 



[in this department we invite suggestions from amateurs con- 

 cerning anything connected with the home garden. If you have 

 worked out the ideas, so much the better. We offer a five-dollar 

 bill for the best suggestion that comes to us each month. Address

Forcing Twigs in Water 



FROM February 15th to March 10th is the 

 time to bring in twigs of flowering shrubs 

 and trees and put them in a vase of water in 

 a sunny window sill, where they will open 

 during the dreariest month of the year — the 

 month before spring comes. Among the 

 showiest and most interesting are the flower- 

 ing dogwood, Forsythia, apple, peach, pear, 

 red maple, elm, beech, and horse chestnut. 

 Magnolias have the largest flowers of all, but 

 it is doubtful if any one has succeeded with 

 them. Change the water everv day or two.
