WINDOWS A-RLOOM

In my garden record" where I keep an account of planting and blooming to guide me in my flower growing, I find an entry made ex- 4ctly year ago today.
 Filled the window boxes with pansies and English daisies"
 How well I remember their saucy spring beauty. There was very little color In the garden then, for the first early tulips had come reluctantly into bloom only the day :,efore, as we had had a week of chilly, frosty weather following Easter. The cro- cusses were all gone and the daffo- dils were not in sight from the house And then. all of a sudden, the living room windows burst into joyous color brought home from the flower mar ket in big basket and transplanted directly into the boxes.
 Here's spring delight that literal ly everybody may have, Twink in the country or the city. And why more city folk don't fill their window stills with bloom, l never can understand. In England they do. There's hardly d window, even of the humblest hovel, that doesn't have it's surf of bios- soms. Up and down every street and alley there IS uOuDlc layer or flowers
 Pansies and the little pink English daisies are so cheap that they are within reach of everyone. and they greatly prefer the cold, brisy air or early spring to the warmer days that follow. A plain wooden box, which any member of the family could knock together, can be filled for well, say dollar-with enough pansy and daisy plants to bring the garden to your very window sash. A few in- expensive prgs of vine to hang down over the box (wandering Jew from the pot you have had indoors all winter may be moved out now). and you will send out flor; $&zasss.,,' g to your entire neighborhood " NJ
 There is not much elst that V1 safe to put out in the open air u.- May comes. unless you sink q few pots of daffodils, narcissus and jon quls into your window box. Later you may replace the pansies and English daisies with geraniums. pe- tunias or nasturtiums, but just now the earliest spring blooms are the ones for you. Do start the fashion in your street,
