MOISTURE IN FLOWER POTS
Ingenious Arrangement for Supplying
Water to Plants Without Trouble
Of Leakage.

A nower-loving genius has invented
a box for supplying moisture to plants
in window-boxes, stationary stands or
other receptacles By which water may
be supplied once a week or even at
longer intervals.
The illustration shows that the wa

box or pot through a tube N the cor

two inches deep and on top of 1t is
placed false bottom which supports
the soil. Inserted in the holes to the
false bottom are sponges which touch
