ParisIan Window eardens.

A very interesting article appears In the
New York Sun on window gardens. L
am impressed that. Horticulture must be
intensified to make 1t generally satisfac-
tory to the great majority Of mankind
Although there is land in abundance
there are no flower gardens in the streets
of American cities, and the people who
long for the flowers are generally those
who have no money to buy them, and no
land on which to grow them.
The New York Sun says; Every Paris
house Of Importance has its balconies
great, small and abundant. Other resi-
dences have little grilles. suggesting bal
comics And in all these little balconies
and window ratings. gardens are culu-
waited through the spring and summer
time that are charming and picturesque
additions to the houses, TO the streets
and to the general effect on the city. The
Paris exposition sent many Americans
home with the idea Of identifying their
windows in Partisan fashion. with these
growing gardens. The window box OF an
up-to-date style must extend clear across
the sin and must be narrow. not more
than a foot wide and about as deep. The
undersoil may be ordinary but the upper
earth must be had from the florist. Those
who live in town houses and apartments
during the summer months, miss one OF
the artistic Joys of life when they fail to
cultivate window gardens"
Women sometimes are fine florists They
appear to be gifted In that way. All they
touch seems to grow and prosper. The
cuttings will root, the flowers Will ex-
pand and the plants will thrive for them,
while others who try very hard have no
success at all. OF course the natural fo-
rist gives proper thought time and labor
to the flower raising. while too many Of
us are clumsy and inattentive to necessaL
~ little things. This window garden Idea,
placed on little balconies outside the win
dow sill, Is nevertheless 4 helpful idea to
the inmates Of contracted quarters. It is
a diversion and recreation to the invalid
TO watch the plants grow.
The French people are fine agricultur-
lists. horticulturists and fiori-culturists.
They are the best of farmers, for their
savings come from small economies and
small crops. When the Franco-German
war ended. and an enormous war indem-
nifty was demanded by the victorious Ger
mans, IL was the small farmers Of France
who met the obligation. A loan was au-
thorized and the. rate Of interest to
French people was made reasonable.
So these small farmers brought up mill
lions OF money that they had collected
in this way, and when the old stockings
were emptied into the Franch treasury
there was money and to spare, furnished
by the French to sustain their govern
ment. We can learn many lessons from
these thrifty French farmers and florists.
