HANGING BASKETS, VASES, ETC. 



The growing of plants in hanging-vases has become quite popular. 

 They are made of various forms and material, from the common 

 earthenware to the finest China and terra-cotta, ornamental and gilt ; 

 also of wire and rustic work, varying in price from fifty cents to five 

 dollars each. The following plants are suited for planting in them, 

 on account of their slender habit and trailing branches. They should 

 be planted in a rich, porous soil, and kept freely watered.

Winter-blooming Bulbs. 



Under this head may be classed two distinct kinds , the hardy sorts 

 which are usually forced into bloom, among which the Hyacinth has 

 become, by common consent, the favorite, not only for its exqisite tints, 

 but also for its delightful perfume. They are also grown extensively 

 in glasses with water, and in this form, are an interesting and beauti- 

 ful object in the Parlor window. For this purpose, we would recom- 

 mend the following varieties : Red and Pink. — Bouquet Tendre, 

 Panorama, Temple d'Apollon, Mars- White. — Anna Maria, Prince of 

 Waterloo, La Deesse, Grand Vainqueur. Blue. — Lord Wellington, 

 A la Mode, Mignonne Yon Dryfhout, Prince of Saxe Weimer. Yellow.

 quils, Crocus, and Narcissus, will make a beautiful display during the
