Barnard's Royal Nasturtiums WINDOW AND PORCH BOXES FOR THE CITY HOME The soil from under the sod in a vacant lot is usually very good for this purpose. Let the boxes be at least 6 inches deep. Fill in an inch layer of small stones or broken flower pots. Upon this layer of drainage material place several good sized lumps of charcoal, for sour soil will often do more harm than a sooty atmosphere. Dust and grime are foes that must be dealt with, but they are easily routed by frequent sprinkling, using a small hand sprayer. To a quart of luke warm water add 1 tablespoonful of liquid ammonia. Let this sprinkling be done after the sun has gone. Do not allow soil to become soggy. Some of the following plants may be started quite satisfactorily from seed: Sweet Alyssium (Maritimum), Nasturtium, Cobea Scandens, Kenilworth Ivy, Thunbergia, Mau- randia (Oxalis), and Morning Glory. These are all climbers, but by pinching back frequently may be found most adaptable to use with potted plants, such as Geraniums, Petunias, Begonias, Ferns, English Ivy, and Ivy Geraniums. The Japanese morning-glory is very beautiful for boxes, grown as it is by the Japanese. When about to its fourth set of leaves begin to pinch back. This will make it bushy instead of climb- ing. The foliage and flowers are both very lovely. Portulaca (the double varieties), is exceptionally adapted for boxes, especially where it is very sunny. It stands both heat and drought remarkably well. If the box is protected from strong winds and sun. The tuberous rooted Begonia grows welL Combined with ferns it makes an unusually lovely box. Boxes in windows protected by awnings are especially fortunate. A delightful article entitled "The Face Your House Shows to the World," by Amelia Leavitt Hill, is found in Good Housekeep- ing, May, '23. "Why do we see so few fine window boxes?" I asked the old gardener. '"Cause after they plaate their stuff they goes off and fergits It," and the gardener, who really loves his flowers, turned away with a sigh. See page 118 for self watering window boxes.
