Gardens in Crowded Cities.

Nothing brings the country more near to the city than a garden. The vacant-lot gardens are good in congested places. But there are few who can have a vacant-lot garden compared to those who can have window boxes. Get ready to put up the window boxes in the crowded sections and thus gladden thousands. Gay geraniums and graceful vines that trail their leaves over the sides of the box are the things to plant The window-bbx garden should also contain saucy geraniums, wide-eyed petunias and bright verbenas. The placing of wihdow-box gardens in crowded city'Streets is one of the happiest ways of" casing the lot of those who must live and work in the city all summer.
