of percolating through the soil. The pot should not be filled to the top with earth, or there will be no place for the water. The geranium is the one plant which should not receive too much water, as too much mois- ture will cause the leaves to drop.
 A dear little old lady whom l count among my friends achieved success with her plants through this device; she had a tinsmith make her a zinc tray as long as her dining-room win sides of this tray are two inches deep and the bottom of 1t is covered with pebbles. This try is set on top of a table and the table is mounted on small wheels Ordinary castors would do as welD, so that the table may be wheeled away from the window on frosty nights. With this device, the water which she applies to her plants never runs onto the woodwork accidentally. for the surplus waters runs onto the bed of pebbles and is evaporated-thereby creating a moist atmosphere which is good for the plants and also good for human be- ings.
