"A very common error in window
gardening is that of attempting too
much, Too many plants are crowded
into the little space at command SO that
it is impossible to give each the air and
light it should have. Again. plants OF
too diverse character are brought to-
gether. It is no uncommon thing to
| see tropical plants and plants from the
temperate zone, if not even Alpine
plants, all crowded into the same win
dow and subjected to the same tenn
perature and treatment. Better far to
have one healthy. weil-grown plant that
will yield its flowers In perfection than
q dozen sicklys feeble, wretched plants,
that have no beauty either OF leaf or
blossom. - 49,.
