WINDOW GARDENINO 
Fig. 11. 
Fig. 14 is still another design actually in use in one of our central New York 
homes. Here is a bow window filled with two boxes supported by legs, each box ten 
inches deep and filled inside either with earth or separate pots, the interspaces 
being filled in with moss or earth. The aim is to give a chance to plants with fine 
contrasts of foliage ; Pelargoniums, Petunias, Heliotropes, Fuchsias, Amaranth, 
Coleus, Begonia, Geraniums, &c. In one end is a Maurandia climbing vine ; in 
the other is a Mexican Coboea, both twining and drooping over the wires which 
rise from the centre of the box, and curve towards the sides affording a delicate dra- 
pery of green. A hanging basket of moss hangs over each box, the one filled 
with Oxalis and Tradescantia, the other with Ice Plant. In the vase hanging just 
over the middle is placed a Kenilworth or Coliseum Ivy. On various brackets 
below are placed dishes of Ivy, Ferns and Moneywort. A few tall plants may 
be introduced to advantage, say one large pot full in the centre of each box. In 
one pot Caladiums, in the other Calla Lilies
