About this book
The contents list miniature gardens in windows, under artificial light, in containers, in glass and in greenhouses, together with miniature roses indoors and out. The advice on light stresses that plants have varying needs for light and sunlight, and that only sunlight falling directly on a plant benefits it. The temperature discussion distinguishes plants that grow best with cool nights from some tender tropical plants that suffer a chill when night temperatures fall below sixty degrees.
The discussion of miniature compositions describes the container and plant as one picture, with neither outshining the other and the container setting off the plant. The account mentions tiny bird cages, little woven baskets and glass lamp shades among containers originally made for entirely different purposes.
