"In London and all large towns gardening has its trials. ... One or two alternatives are open to us; one is the Window-box, another is the , and there is the Balcony. The windox-box is both the easiest and the most general, but, common as are these town adornments, it is a matter of fact that very little "gardening" is done in them. For the most part the man in the street gest as much æsthetic enjoyment out of a window-box as its owner, and often, except in the matter of payment, has about as much to do with it. The lordly mansions, in front of which are displayed the most beautiful colour-schemes during the fashionable season, are often closed at other periods of the year, while their owners are away enjoying flowers in distant plaes. It is of the window-gardening of that far larger class that lives in London all the year round we would say a word or two. Window-gardening might become ten times more interesting than it is now if people only woke up to a sense of its possibilities."
