In our parlor window I have at present a delightful garden, consisting of a new green-leaved Myrtle in the center, on each side of which is placed a plant of India-rubber tree, and between these and the sides of the window two pretty plants of Veronica Imperialis, bearing respectively eight and twelve expanded spikes of beautiful purple flowers. In front, next the glass, I have two elegent little plants of Acacia Lophantha, and on either side a potful of Roman Hyacinths; then two nicely variegated-leaved silver tricolor Pelargoniums, and two pots, each containing four Due Van Thol Tulips, similarly placed. In each corner is a potful of Ferns, Pteris serrulata and Adian-turn Cuneatum. The whole is set in a framework of Jasminum Nudifiorum trained up both sides of the interior of the window; two branches being introduced from a plant grown outside, through apertures made purposely for them. They are laden with flowers in even greater profusion than the shoots outside, and they come into flower a fortnight earlier.

The surface soil of the Myrtle, Veronica and Acacia pots is covered with Club Moss (Selaginella Kraussiana), intermingled with some seedling Ferns. - The Garden.
