A SIMPLE FLOWER GARDEN.

THE POSITION m THE WINDOW 



of these plants must now be considered. The soil in which 

 plants grow does not, within certain limits, seem to make 

 much difference ; but the temperature of the air in which 

 the J live does make a great deal. Here, into our one room 

 with its three windows, we have brought plants that rexuire 

 very different treatment. At a well-regulated commercial 

 establishment, each kind would have a separate house and 

 treatment^ — a cool house for one kind, a warm one for an- 

 other. Here, all we can do is to compromise the mat- 

 ter as best we may. We can, however, remedy this in 

 part, by standing the plants in different positions. 



The following can stand in the warmest and sunniest 

 places in the south windows : — 



Bouvardia, 

 Ally s sum, 

 Eupatorum, 

 Chinese Primrose,

These may go to the east window, where there is the 

 least sun and lowest temperature : —
