A SIMPLE FLOWER GARDEN". 



up, the pots washed, and then moved to a sunny place in 

 the window. 



MORE PLANTS 



than those we have now on hand can be accommodated in the 

 window, and, to keep up a succession, and have a variety, 

 others must be bought. We have already nearly all that 

 our garden will afford, and the plants still there are, with a • 

 few exceptions, no longer of any value. The new plants 

 can be obtained of the florists, and will be already potted, 

 and in order for immediate use. The only attention they 

 will require will be to see that both pots and plants are 

 perfectly clean. Having in mind our original object, — 

 plants from which flowers maybe cut, — the following list will 

 aid us by giving the right kinds and quantities : — 



2 Azalias, 4 Heliotropes, 



1 Orange, 6 Smilax, 



1 Lemon, 2 Murandias, 



2 Cape Jasmines, 4 Ivies, 



2 Camellias. 



The smilax and murandias and ivies are vines, and as 

 they are trained upon long strings, and grow where nothing 

 else will, and are valuable for green in flower- work, the 

 number advised is not excessive. There are two more plants 

 left in the garden, that, when the frost takes away their 

 leaves, will be removed to the house cellar, and eventually 

 reach the window. Of them, more in Chapters VII. and 

 XI.
