wINDOw-GARDENING AMONG THE POOR.
TO tAs EditOr OF The Tribune

SIR: Thank you for your charming little
narrative of the lady distributing her flowers to the
Arabs In the heat and dust outside the house.
The tender natural charity OF the act with its manifold
UNREASONABLE results leads TO suggest the iDstitu
ton of society for the encouragement OF window
gardening" among the poor OF the city This movement
was begun London than ten years back by Lady
Burdett Couts Lord sbaftesbury and Others with tho
happiest effects assure you. The oyernows from
the wretched reighborhoods into the Temple Gardens
for instance where the gardener made pretty nearly
perennial display of Horticulture proved sight TO move
the most selfish and cynical Tie and children.
during fine weather swarmed in thousands TO those
fair grounds the banks OF the Thames the crowded
city, and several times the attention of the writer OF
called TO the keen nquiing interest OF the
visitors about and growths, and varieties OF
stock plants Of which the gardener, Mr. Broome, WAS
Justly proud. That's come" he would say, from
these folks learning TO keep flowers at home" Could
not the Commissioners OF Parks encourage such y
socetyf Might displays take place In the public
parks Here is ground OF education for CHRISTIANS
Of all denominations TO meet and Work III concert Z.
