Practical window gardening

Abstract

Introduction: Very few people are rich enough to own conservatories or greenhouses, but almost every one appreciates flowers, especially through the winter months, where everything out of doors is bleak and bare. For this reason, flowers have been grown in windows of the homes of rich and poor alike. As this method is simple, and inexpensive, requiring a small amount of care in proportion to the returns, it is wide-spread. Of course some understanding is necessary to success. Experienced floriculturists can give the information necessary to a beginner and the actual test of practical window gardening will do the rest.
