triving- and arranging flower-stands, baskets, small conservatories, 
balconies, and many other means and appliances for using flowers 
and plants for the ornamentation of our houses." — Critic. 
" This little volume contains many valuable and, what will be 
to some, novel hints respecting the management of in-door plants, 
and even of a small out-door garden. The possessor, if it be only 
of half-a-dozen plants, will here learn how to make them grow 
their best; while those who cultivate on a somewhat larger scale, 
will find described an ingenious forcing-case, invented by the 
author, and said to be both effective for its purpose and sufficiently 
ornamental to decorate a drawing-room, together with a singular 
device for opening a glimpse into a conservatory. The book — 
small, elegant, and inexpensive — ought to be in the hands of all 
amateurs, and especially of ladies, for whom, indeed, it is chiefly 
designed." — Globe. 
" The rules for raising and tending ' In-Door Plants ' are 
clearly laid down, and will be found useful aids to a very rational 
amusement; they include the mtinagcment of the conservatory 
and greenhouse, as well as the graceful decoration of the drawing- 
room and boudoir. Under their direction, the palace and the 
cottage, through every vicissitude of season or weather, may alike 
be cheered by the aromatic perfume and brilliant hues of nature's 
choicest gifts." — Morning Post. 
" We can assure om* fair readers that they will find a variety 
of hints in this book on 'In-Door Plants,' which, if they are 
apt scholars, will teach them ' how to grow them.' " — Gardener's 
Chronicle. 
" We have great pleasure in bringing under the notice of our 
readers a little book, which will be found of great practical value 
to all such as desire to make the most of the limited opportuni- 
ties atforded by an urban or suburban residence." — Westminster 
Hevieiu. 
" A very pretty and interesting little volume for ladies. 
As all the maxims contained in these pages seem the result of 
practical experience, we strongly recommend it to all young 
housekeepers who desire to give an additional attraction to the 
houses of their lords and masters."— P/ess.
