Rapid Vegetation.

A cheap sponge can be converted into a hanging bunch of greenery for room decoration. Plunge it into hot water, press it dry, then put in its holes or pores seeds of millet, red clover, barley, linseed, grasses, etc., in fact any species of plants which germinate easily and produce, as far as possible, leaves or blades of different shades. Place the sponge thus prepared on a vase or in a saucer, or better still, suspend it in the recess of a window, where it may get as much sunshine as possible. Every morning, for a week, sprinkle its surface lightly with water. Soon the seeds will germinate and grow. In a short time they will form a ball of greenery, making a charming decoration for a room.
