Hand book of practical landscape gardening, designed for city and suburban residences, and country school-houses . •-«.•••., No. From this we revert to the common practice of window deco ration with pot plants and hanging baskets filled w ithwhose graceful lines oft wave so thick and fresh in thegive an idea that they are like the Mi ilv upon 86 HAND-BOOK OF PRACTICAL air, while they call lovers to them, under the impression that whatmay there be said shall come to pass. Through the kind courtesy of James Vick, Esq., we copy fromhis Floral Guide some illustrations of how to arrange plants andhanging baskets in the window. No. 1 represents two windows on each side of a mirror, withplants in pots, and hanging baskets. This is apparently givenfor outside than inside show. No. 2 shows the plants in pots, and mostly upon the tloor; lessof hanging plants than of erect No. 3. No. 3 is a tasteful arrangement of plants and vines, in a baywindow; yet we think a cased box for the roots of plants underthe window-sill, and the climbers planted to run upon fine wiresover the casings, with here and there a shrubby plant in thecenter, or along the window lights, would be more natural. Thevase is excellent, and so the hanging baskets; but as we havebefore said, there is generally too much care and attention re-quired in this matter to meet the resources of a majority withwhom purity and truth are always in association with earthsproductions of beauty, and thus a forethought of a future paradise. LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 87 No. 4 is a presentation which rarely can be Found, form of the window, with the heavy stile in i not generally found in residences of those who cannol depend upona green house to supply plants. %U^J *-&
