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 earthen- 

 ware 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 sort3 

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

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

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

 in glasses with water, and in this form are an interesting and beautiful
