FLOWERS IN STREETS.
If the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association hiad its way, London would be all a-blowing and a-glowing with flowers. From one small room m Denison House, Vaushall Bridge Road, plans have come which, if put into effect, would brighten the faces of houses m desolate districts and lend a touch of colour to the gloomiest streets. For the association would like to see window boxes decorating every house, more especially m neighbourhoods which time and architects have combined to make ugly and draiti To encourage! this picturesque plan, the association offers a series of small money prizes, not as a rule exceeding 30s, for competitions arranged by local organisations, parochial bodies, schools, and so forth. At present there is a great planting and tending of these small window gardens all over London. A few competitors of utilitarian tastes have eyen succeeded m raising vegetables m their window boxes.
