GARDENS FOR THE WINTER

Specially Designed Boxes Will Always Be Found to Becure the Best Possible Results. If It is possible, the boxes should be made to order. When one realize* that these boxes will last for many seasons, this does not seem extravagant. Good wood can then be selected, and the boxes made to fit the exact space one wishes to devote to them. Whatever the length desired, do not have the boxes less than one foot wide and one foot deep. Excellent boxes may be purchaqpd ready made at the various florist shops and department stores in the city if one does not care to go to the trouble of having them made. Never set the boxes flat on the porch or window sill, but support the ends by pieces of “two-by-four.” In the bottom of each box bore quarter-inch holes at a distance of six to eight inches apart, to insure drainage.
