A GUIDE TO THE AMATEUR IN THE 
Fruit, Vegetable, and Flower 
Garden, 
WITH FULL DIRECTIONS FOR THE 
Greenhouse, Conservatory, and 
WINDOW GARDEN. 
By PETER HENDERSON, 
AUTHOR OF “GARDENING FOR PROFIT,” AND “PRAC¬ 
TICAL FLORICULTURE.” 
ILLUSTRATED. 
It is one of the best guides to window-gardening we 
know of. The fact is, that the number of plants that can 
be successfully grown in window-gardening is very limit¬ 
ed, and though it is possible to make a very large list of 
those which may he grown, if unusual pains he taken, 
the general cultivator wishes only to undertake those 
which promise to he successful with a moderate expendi¬ 
ture of time and attention. The rules to be observed in 
order to succeed with window plants, are very few, and 
the whole story is plainly told.— Christian Advocate ,
