LOOK PRETTY IN WINDOW

Nasturtiums One of .the Best Plants for the Purpose, and WiiFThnva^rrr: With Little Attention. Nasturtiums can he grown in any warm room that has a sunny window. Strong sunshine is absolutely necessary, Windows that have only a little? sunshine, morning or afternoon, will not give good results. \ ; ' The Pennsylvania department, of agriculture recommends the filling of a pot six inches in diameter nearly full of soil ; after it is pressed down there must be’a space about three-quarters of ap inch between the top of the soil and the top of the pot. This is to enable one to thoroughly water the soil. In the center place three or four seeds of a climbing nasturtium, putting them about half an inch below the surface of the soil. Then place the pot. in the sunny windows and provide a trellis of strings. : - • The important thing to remember ft that while the seeds are germinating and the plant young, great care must be taken not to provide too much water and so sour the soil.
