The real estate man is q high-power-

ought to be helped and encouraged in

ment of Agriculture.

verse is considered best when watering

eral character If the growth Is to be

ter need different treatment 1t is very

pearance of growing green leaves rath-
err than to raise flowers indoors.
Suitable Plants Named.
The Department Of Agriculture's spe-
cialist makes the following suggestions
for a window box:
Begonias are one Of the most attrao-
tive plants that may be used for an In
door box. Both towering and nom
Towering varieties will give satisfac-
ton: in fact, the towering variety is
one of the few plants that will blossom
indoors without special cultivation. The
begonia is not very particular In Its
requirements. and will flourish with
ordinary care.
Small ferns obtained from a florist
will flourish. These are particularly
adapted to house culture, as they do
not require direct sunlight. {Care of
ferns will be described in greater de-
tail In a subsequent article).
Even more hardy than ferns is the
foliage plant known as the aspidistra
This adaptable plant-growth will stand
measure of neglect, drought and dust
and still thrive. It does not require
direct sunlight.
Geraniums may also be used as foli-
age plants, though they must not be
expected to blossom in the window
box.
Kenilworth ivy may be planted along
the edge. It will grow nicely from
seed. q,
Gives Window Bower Effect.
Smilax may be grown from the back
Of the box. and trained up about the
window to give the effect of an attrac-
tive bower.
The inexperienced grower Of plants
indoors cannot expect to do well with
roses. These plants are most exacting.
and not only will they probably fail
to flower, but also their foliage may
be affected by mildew, blight, etc.
The ordinary individual who desires
other varieties Of growing flowers. may
supplement his window box with flow
ering ported plants brought in from
outside, including bulbs raised as de-
scribed in previous article of this

The indoor window box, properly
planned and tended, will afford much
pleasure and satisfaction to the house
wife who misses her out-of-door gar
den during the winter months. 1t Is a
mistaken notion that plants when kept
in living rooms use up certain ele-
ments of the air in such quantities as
to make II unhealthful for individuals
using the room. according to experts
OF the Department of Agriculture. 1t
is much harder on plants to be In
room with people than for people to be
in o room with growing plants. Plants,
indeed, use air, but use such q small
proportion that the effect OF the plant
in the room Is negligible II the room
is ventilated at all This also holds
good for cut flowers or plants in SICK
room, although the odor of some fow-
ers may be depressing to the patient
and bad for that reason.
Twelve Inches Good Depth.
A good depth for an indoor window
box is about twelve inches. The bot
tom of the box should be covered with
stones and broken pottery to give
drainage, and this should be covered
by layer of moss. to prevent the soil
above from working down through the
stones The drainage and moss should
take up about three inches. The great
err the body of soil above the moss the
more uniform it may be kept as to
moisture. The soil should come to
within an inch and a half or two
inches of the top of the box
The indoor window box should be
made to At into the window. To get
as much light as possible, it should be
level with the window. 1t may be fas-
tened with brackets or placed on
table, or have legs made for 1t. There
should be a drip pan beneath to keep
water from soiling the floor. The box
may rest directly above the drip pan
on legs half an inch to an inch high. or
the box may be watertight, with the
exception of a hole at one end to let
out the water.
Soil Should Become Dry.
The top of the soil should be allowed
to become quite dry once in while.
The results of watering will teach the
owner to regulate the supply. Boxes
may need watering in sunshiny wealth
