DECORATIVE WINDOW BOXES.

In the past few years the value OF
the window box as a means of exterior
decoration and interior cheer. has be-
come more and more appreciated. To-
day the popularity of these little win
dow gardens is at it's height. and lndl1-
ferent indeed is the woman who has
not at least one of these COlorful boxes
about her home.
Green is the conventional color for
these boxes, alrho on gray-shlngied
house bark covered boxes are gem
orally used, while boxes Of stucco,
bronze and thing are frequently pre-
ferred in the windows Of apartment
houses.
To obtain one OF the ordinary green
painted window boxes. the housekeeper
should have a carpenter make her
box Of stout pine, ten inches wide and
six inches deep and as long as the
window is wide. She should then get
tinsmith to make a zinc tray to mt
| into the box as such tray will keep
the soil from drying out as rapidly as
il would otherwise do.
| If the box is TO be in a shady posi-
| ton it's zinc tray should have holes
punched in the bottom for drainage,
but in a sunny position this is not
necessary because the sun will dry
| out the soil too easily.
| Very rich soil must be used in =
| window box, The cramping of roots
aaccssitates this. The best soil for
this use is the potting earth used by
florists, but as the average home ma :
| ker prefers not to go to the expense
| of purchasing this kind Of soil from q
| florist, he may make Gerry good soil
! in the following manner.
Put layer Of clnkers in the bot
tom Of the box; place a layer Of pas
ture sod on top of the clinkers; next
put in a layer Of old cow manure and
then fill the box with fertile garden
earth.
Plants most picturesque for the
front row Of a window box are those
of dropping habit such as ivy, kenil-
worth, iobeias, tropec!uns and 9th.

should stand erect growing plants
such as geraniums, heliotropes and

ing habit in their window boxes, as
we'll as those Of erect and dropping
habit: they enjoy having their win
dows encircled by foliage, and this
bower-like effect is particularly APP
propriate for dining room where
cheer and beauty are most essential.
Senecio Cor parlor ivy,) moneywort,
smilax, lygodium Cor climbing fern)
and passifloras are some Of the climb
ing plants which may be used in a
window box, and IL the housekkeeper
will put UP strings for these to climb

ferred effect.
Window boxes which are on the
shady side OF the house may not con-

which require sunshine; the main
dependence should be on plants OF
graceful form and beautiful foliage. In
the list of dropping plants given above
'tropolums" and "passforas" would
be best for boxes in a strong sunny po-
sition, and other dropping plants
named being best for boxes in shady
position.
After a few weeks, If the plants do
not seem to be thriving. the soil must
be looked to again. A light sprinkling
of bone dust should be applied or a
coating Of rotten manure given. Instead
of this, one may water the plants with
diluted liquid manure weekly or every
ten days, which produces practically
the same effect.
A windoy box II well cared for,
! should thrive all summer and, with a
new coating of manure and perhaps
thinning out Of some of the plants,

Of the window TO brighten the winter
