The Country Gentleman recommends the following: There are some few plants which will grow and blossom with but little care or attention - but with others constant care is needful. Among the former class, the Chinese Primrose takes front rank. It will continue in bloom from nine to ten months out of the twelve; and its pure white or rich pink and crimson flowers are a great ornament. So tenacious of life and health is the root, that if planted in cotton wool soaked with water, and not allowed to wither for want of moisture, it will put forth its tender blossoms for months. It can be thus planted in a china vace or saucer, or in a glass dish, making a lovely ornament for a parlor or boudoir table. The cost of it is small; a twenty-five cent scrip will procure a fine plant, and its flowers are a certainty.

The Czar violet blossoms all winter, and perfumes the air with its wondrous fragrance. The flower is single, its color of a light blue, but its sweetness is unsurpassed by its sister flowers.

The double English violets are of a deep rich purplish blue, and will bloom for several weeks in a shady situation.

Bouvardias adorn a window garden for many months with a quick succession of buds and flowers of a rich coral hue. Bouvardia elegans, a new variety, possesses larger flowers, of a trumpet shape, and ripe red hue. Ours is just bursting into bloom, and is very beautiful.

The begonias are also very desirable, as they push forth clusters of waxen petals during all the gloomy winter season. Their glossy foliage is handsome, and they are rarely troubled with the pest of insects, which are so pernicious to all window culture of plants.

Belgium daisies are very pretty dwarf plants, and additions to every collection.

The different varieties of cyclamens are particularly beautiful. The winged flowers hover like birds over the dark rich foliage of the plant.

All the above named plants will rarely fail to produce a good supply of flowers without much coaxing, and if we add a few of the variegated foliaged plants - some sweet geraniums and several varieties of the zonale tribe, they will form a very respectable window garden, and not only give great satisfaction to their owner, but attract the lingering gaze of every passer by, and give pleasant thoughts to a large number of people.
