There are some plants that appear specially adapted to window-culture. Among the finest of these is the geranium It sports almost innumerable varieties, in colors ranging from pure white through pink, cerese, cherry, and crimson, to the most fiery, intense scarlet. There are spotted ones, striped ones; varieties with white eyes, and double kinds. These double kinds are a late acquisition, but remarkably fine. Of several varieties of the double geranium, 1 have found the Gloire de Nancy (bright soft scarlet) and the Madame Lemoine (beautiful rose-color) to be the best. They stay in bloom a long time, have large and handsome trusses of flowers, and blossom profusely. The Tom Thumb double is worthless. In color and profusion it is fine, but the central blooms fade and wither long before the outer ones open, and give the whole truss an appearance of a bail of scarlet and black rags tied together. Its habit of growth is good, but not so its blossoming. For single varieties, the Herald of Spring is the most perfect flower I have ever had. It is bright crimson with white eyes; has large flowers opening uniformly on the truss, and these flowers are circular in shape - much like a pansy. The Virgo Maria is pure white, and has immense clusters of blossoms.

Rose Rendatler is bright pink, spotted with white. For variegated geraniums, the Mrs. Pollock is unsurpassed. It has bright green leaves, banded with golden-yellow and belted with brown. Where the belt streaks up into the band, it is bright crimson. The Lady Plymouth is the old rose geranium with a white variegation.

Heliotropes are beautiful in growth; in flower, very fragrant, and a profuse bloomer. Almost any kind is good. One cluster of these flowers will scent a whole room in winter, with its spicy, summer-like fragrance.

Carnations are valuable for house flowering. They blossom profusely, and are splendid flowers. Added to their beauty, is their fragrance. La Purite (bright rose), Defiance (scarlet), and Flatbush (white), are three good varieties.

Monthly roses are too well known to need any.extolling. Hermosa (pink) and Louis Phillippe (dark crimson) are free bloomers and good growers.

Fuchsias are fine for summer-flowering, but seldom blossom in winter.

Begonias do well in the house, and are valuable for their unique foliage, if they never blossomed.

Bouvardias, especially Hogarth, are nice plants for the window. Their scarlet and pink clusters are produced in great profusion, and are extremely showy.

The Calla, or Egyptian lily, does well in some rooms. Its large leaves give one a great deal of pleasure from their luxuriant, tropical appearance, and when its creamy, white blossoms appear, it is always admired.

Hanging plants ought never to be omitted from any collection. They have a grace peculiarly their own. Any old basket will do, but a sort of ox-muzzle, made of wire and lined with moss, is better than the usual make-shifts seen suspended in windows.

The terracotta baskets or pots, sold for banging plants, are pretty, but not as good as the moss baskets are. Moneywort, Trandescantia, Glechoma, or Wandering Jew, called in some places "Jill-over-the-Ground," "Cats-foot," or, more properly, ground ivy, English ivy, Maderia vine, petunia, and ice-plant, are good plants for hanging baskets. In watering plants in moss baskets, immerse them, plants, basket, and all, in a pail of water, Cannas, ooleuses, and other plants used for lawn purposes in the new sub-tropical style of gardening, will do quite well in the house. For spring flowering, I always have a lot of hyacinths and tulips. Nothing goes beyond them in showiness, and they are easily grown, - Western Rural.
