The soil should be rich gar den loam. or compost consisting of routed sod and stable manure thoroughly mixed together and screen through a screen with at least half-inch mesh
 Filling the Box
 Before filling the box, layer of broken pots or coarse gravel, or clinkers from the ash heap should be placed over the bottom of the box to the depth of one inch. If the box is made air tight, holes should be provided in the bottom, in order that any excess Of moisture which come from watering the plant may escape from the bottom. After placing tnis drainage material in the bottom of the box, fill it to within one inch of the top with the soil above described.
