I am going to have the pleasure of making you graft, in your portable greenhouse, oranges and camel- lias, wherewith to furnish your balcony garden when it shall come to be established. I am going also to make you plant a simple and modest potato in a box, that you may have the pleasure of grafting on its stalks shoots of tomatoes. THE PARLOR GARDENER. 79 Yes, shoots that will bloom and produce their fruit, while the vegetation of the potato is run- ning its career and continuing to form its tu...bers. On closing the account, you will gather potatoes enough for a dish, and tomatoes enough to make a sauce for the beef stew, to be served with the potatoes. I will lay a wager, madam, that this tomato sauce will have a more exquisite flavor for your palate than any your cook ever pre- pared before, let her be the very best of all possi- ble cooks. When you procure an aquarium, you may cul- tivate rice in it, which will come to perfect ma- turity. You must graft shoots of this rice upon seeds of the species phalaris ; and you will see that they will not grow the less healthily, nor form their ears the less perfectly for being grafts.
