thirty-three inches long by nine inches

tograph was taken with plants in the
box, and that helps to display its use.
They are: One Drac@na indivisa, two
Drac@na terminals, two Athercium
vittatum var, two Cocos Weddelina,
two Asparagus tenuissimus, five Pelli-
onia pulchra, the latter being the
plant dropping down in front, and is
extremely rich looking in contrast
with the light colors of the box. This
collection of plants, as is easily seen.
makes an attractive box, and they are
selected to withstand the temperature
and peculiar atmospheric conditions of
the ordinary living room, and would
cost about $500 For fancy box, such
as the Minton tile, we would not advise
very common or mean-looking plants.
they would be out of place; but it is
not necessary that one should be with
out window box if he cannot afford
or does not care to invest SO much money
in one as this would cost-the price
is about $500 With d saw, a ham
NOR, a chisel few nails and lumber. a
serviceable box can easily be made.
Get one-inch planed pine boards, free
as to make box of the same size as
the one described: or any size in length
and width to suit your window, and
paint it any desired color. Bore six
halfinch augur holes in the bottom at
equal distances and the box is ready
for the plants. If it is desired to have
it little moro fancy in style. procure
half-inch black walnut trimmings and
tack them at top, bottom and ends, so
as to make it look like panel. a
splendid decoration is oilcloth of tile
or other pattern, cut to size and fas-
tened on with the black walnut trim
mings. A few geraniums. heliotropes,
sweet allyssum, begonias and trop@o-
lums to droop over the edge will give a
pretty effect Such plants will grow
easily, and can be procured at very lit,
tie cost. A dozen plants should be
enough, and any florist can supply
them. If you have no soil, it would be
better to get that also from the man
who furnishes the plants. To give the
collection rich appearance it would
be well to have one palm for the center
of the box. The illustration is from a
