“Window Box" Gardening New Farm Stunt in Germany.

Hamburg, July 6. : —Not content with urging that back yards and tennis courts be made to grow vegetables, the proponents of what may be called “window box gardening” are now hard at work. It is the exception, rather than the rule, that a German city or country house is without its window or its balcony flower box. It Is urged that these boxes, instead of being used for flowers, be devoted to beans, hops or cucumbers. The proponents of the new plan outline carefully

just what kinds of vegetables can bo grown practically, in such limited quarters, and just how they should be tended.
