REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON WINDOW GARDENING, FOR THE YEAR 1887. BY MRS. H. L. T. WOLCOTT, CHAIRMAN. The Committee on Window Gardening, in submitting the list of prizes awarded, desire to state that the success of the last year was most encouraging. Parents and teachers became conscious of new interests in homes through this simple organization. The unavoidable necessity of detaining young children from their homes for so long a part of the day, in bringing their plants to the hall, and returning with them, became objectionable before the end of the season. After some delay, and in order to overcome other difficulties, halls have been obtained through the coöperation of others (Mr. Nathaniel J. Bradlee, the Church of the Good Shepherd, and the North End Industrial School). By this means we hope to enlist cordial sympathy in the aims and work of the Committee, and eventually to secure sectional Committees, who will take charge of the various exhibitions, reporting always to the Committee on Window Gardening, at Horticultural Hall, Tremont Street, Boston.
