Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 January 1915 — Adapting the Porch Box. [ARTICLE]

Adapting the Porch Box.

There is a growing fancy for bringing the porch boxes indoors in winter, and planting gay flowers that make the window charming both inside and out. Plant closely enough to cover the soil, and oh! be careful to have a harmony of color. Keep to one or two colors rather than an inartistic Jumble. How often we see scarlet geraniums and purple-red petunias in the same box, sometimes with still a third angry color. Use all petunias, or grow Scarlet and white geraniums. Pink and white geraniums with trailing ivy (Knickerbocker or German) make a charming bit of gay color. —Philadelphia Press.
