A Window box Flower Garden.

N AAOO" OOA c1O"GT UATUeus
A window box may be very cheap or
a very expensive affair, but cheap one,
made out Of packing box, will grow
flowers just as we'll as a costly one made
of tiles. All that is necessary is some
thing that will hold soil. It is not
enough to simply nail window boxes to
the wall; a brace should run length
wise of the box, and be strongly brack-
eted at each end to furnish support for
the box. The soil with which the box
is filed should be rich; plants will not
grow in poor earth. It is often difficult
to get good soil in the city, but the adj
dition of a. little bonemeal, which can
be procured from any store where gar
den seeds are sold, will make poor soil
sufficiently rich in all elements of plant
food to insure success. If you do not
feel able to afford fertilizer the use of
soapsuds on washing day will supple
ment, to a considerable extent, what
ever nutriment is contained in such soil
as happens to be available. Ladies'

things down at Washington that this
Republican congress should not be
blamed for this exasperating delay in
