NUNS and ivy In your window boxes
raise vegetables. Oh, yes, You can. For
instance, there are the early onions, so
expensive and so valuable in the spring

A tomato plant in a pot which is two
feet deep and carefully tended will give
You those early tomatoes for which you

than a rubber plant, besides having the
virtue OF supplying you with rare and
much priced seasoning. New York Sun.
