A window garden in winter! How delightful when the outside world is bleak and bare. It is quite pos sible to have such a garden no matter how your house is heated, or whether or not you have sunny windows. One always can find plants that will thrive under almost any con ditions in which human beings can live. Some plants will not thrive in a low temperature or one that varies too much, while others will do no good in an overheated house. For cool windows such as north and west ones, there are no more satisfactory blooming plants than the primroses, cinerarias, and flowering begonias. Keep geraniums in a sunny win dow, do not keep them too wet. Foli age plants thrive in most conditions. Soil for House Plants. Prof. Thayer of Massachusetts State college says, “The average soil will grow the average plant.” He sug gests one-third loam, one-third leaf mold, one-third sand and a little bone meal, for rank and file of house plants. Mr. William N. Craig, that dean of good gardeners, suggests using “a six-inch pot of bone meal to a wheelbarrow of loam.” Many garden plants will grow in side a house. Here are a few that will bloom during the winter, be sides geraniums and petunias are begonias, snapdragons, heliotrope foliage plants, ageratum nicotina and sweet alyssum. Growing houseplants from seed is such fun. Try it. Fate (Farmer’s Wife) I made a cake, and it was good; It came out just as good cakes should. I made some tea, fragrant, strong, But, sadly, no one came along. I made a cake and it was punk; It rose and then it went kerplunk. I made some tea, ’twas weak and thin— And all that day my friends dropped in.
