"What will grow and look nicely in my window this winter ?" is a question often asked in early fall. A quiet search in the garden beds, even if there has been a light frost, often brings treasures to view. Here in the petunia bed, under the old plants, are late seedlings several inches high. These, potted, will grow and bloom all winter. Sweet alyssum, too, may be treated in the same way. Be sure to get a clump from the musk bed if you want someting to scent the whole room.

Perhaps your geranium bed is now full of large plants, and you wonder what can be done with them. Last fall I cut off a half bushel of slips and carried them to a florist. He was very glad to get them, for he said his stock geraniums always run low towards spring, and he gave me in exchange several choice plants for my window garden. Next fall I shall cut off slips from coleus or anything else that is a flourishing plant, and take them to the florist's. I may get some plant in exchange that will gladden my eyes all winter, and that is better than letting Jack Frost destroy them. After the geraniums are cut down, I pull them up and store them in the cellar, packing them in a large clothes basket with earth around the roots. In February I plant them in pots, and put them in a sunny cellar or garret window, where they soon come out again and are thrifty plants. - Sister Gracious.
