PLANTS FOR WINDOW GARDENING. 



summer, set the plant in a sheltered situation out of 

 doors. 



The leaves need frequent washings, to keep them free 

 from dust. 



This plant will thrive with very little sun. 



JASMINE, 



A family of favorite climbing shrubs, and very pretty for 

 window culture, alike desirable for their neat foliage and 

 fragrant flowers. The flowers are white or yellow, and pro- 

 duced from February to June, or later. 



The soil should be equal parts of loam and peat, with a 

 slight admixture of sand. The only insect attacking them 

 is scale, which a little care in washing will soon remove. 

 With common room culture, they grow to a large size and 

 make superb plants. 



Water should be rather freely given. They should be 

 trained on neat trellises, and the branches allowed to droop. 

 The most desirable varieties are, — 



J. Azoricum. White flowers in summer. 

 /. Odoratissimum. Yellow flowers in spring. 

 J". MuUiflorum, White flowers in spring. 

 J. Niuliflorum. Yellow flowers in spring.
