on around the top edges. 1t is this
narrow top band that gives the box its
style. Eight inches is good width,
six inches is plenty deep, and the
length should be such that the box
will extend along the entire length OF
the window sill A simple method or
anchoring the box in position is shown
in Fig. 5. Screw the screw-eye into
the window frame and the screw-hook
into the box. Care of course must be-
taken to set the box far enough out
so it will not interfere with the rails
ing OF the window screen. Bore the
drain holes through the bottom board
about six inches apart.
A soap box will do for the plant box
illustrated in Fig 6, but you will have
a neater appearing job If you build IL
up yourself, fitting the bottom boards
between the sides. Fig. shows how
the corner strips should be prepared
and fastened together. Make them
long enough so the tops will project
one inch above the top of the box,
and the lower ends about two inches
below the bottom. The upper corners
can be cut off by means of chisel.
In fastening the corner strips in place.
be careful to make the lower projec-
lions equal. Fig. shows a good way
OF spacing the drain holes.
A dark shade OF green always looks

putty the holes before applying the
paint.
If you make your flower-boxes neat

neighbors for similar boxes and earn
some money for your bank account.
