The window Garden,

In the matter OF window gardening the
beginners most common cause Of fall
ure is due to ignorance as to the use OF
water on plants and seeds. Seeds should
be watered sparingly and only at night,
increasing the quantity OF water with
growth. Potted plants In a w~indow-bos
should have. say, a goblet of water
to the pot daily, in the evening. unless
already drenched with rain. The soil In
the box should never be allowed to be,
come muddy; the top OF 1t should b:
broken frequently to the depth OF ar
inch. for baking generally follows water
ing during sunny weather. Any plan
which seems sickly should be removed
and replaced.
