INDOORS AND UNDER GLASS

There is nothing which adds so much sunshine and cheer to the rooms of a house then color and fragrance of blossoming plants.
This is not a technical book; simply an attempt to tell in so plain way that they cannot be misunderstood the everyday details of the successful management of plants in the house and within such small glass structures as may be made, even with limited means and time, a part of the average home.
