PART II PLANTS FOR WINDOW GARDENS,. Fig. 1.—Design for Ornamental Hanging Basset. Hanging Baskets. Hanging Baskets form our simplest and also cheapest style of window orna-ment. They need very little care, their demands are not very exacting, andthe chances of failure are very much less than plants of more sensitive nature,fit only for careful pot culture. The Hanging Basket is supposed to be a moderninvention, or, at any rate, not very popularly used until late times; hence, itstrikes us with feelings of curiosity to learn that, in the observance of theJewish rural festivals hundreds of years ago, plants and cut flowers were taste-fully arranged, placed in vases, and suspended from the branches forming theroof of the leaf-covered tabernacle. This was made of the branches of theoak, cedar, palm, and willow, so cut as to prevent them from withering forseven days, while the Passover was celebrated.
