,GARDENING.IN WINDOW BOXES
A window box overflowing with
gaily blooming flowers is within
the range of. almost every person. ,
Even apartment dwellers can have •
one of these. This sort 'of garden-•
ing is highly intensive with .many,
more plants to the square foot than
would be grown ,wider' ordinary .
conditions: 'This means that very
rich soil should be used and in ail
ditioii a'fairly frequent .application
of •chemical fertiiiizer during the.
season. Being exposed on all sides ,
to drying • winds, a •thorough water-
ing once a day of the. wir_do.w box
i$ •advised•.
. USE VERY RICH SOW
The box painted, or stained to
match house trim, • should• be as •
long as the window and should be •
arranged, so that the top of it is al-
most . flush with the window sill.
There must be holes in the bottom •
• to • provide drainage; and alsd,•a .lay
er of gravel, cinders, broken crock-
ery or similar material'for, the 'very
same purpose.
'Along the front of window boxes
are planted trailing Nasturtiums,
Ivy, Lobelia, Alyssum and similar
plants, with Petunias, Ageratums.
Begonias, Ferns, Geraniums °and
other plants especially recommend-
ed for this • purpose farther back.
Shelter from the taunter a day or
two should be provided'. iintil the
plants get established. •
