using the scythe boxes, and starting the plants from 

 seed, very pretty boxes may be gotten up for from 

 thirty-five to fifty cents a pair that will give as much 

 pleasure as more expensive ones. The more flowers 

 are cut from these boxes of annuals the more freely 

 they will bloom, and no seeds should be allowed to 

 form. A little liquid manure should be given all 

 window-boxes except those containing Begonias 

 once a week during the summer, and all withered 

 flowers and leaves promptly removed. Nip back 

 weak, straggly growths and encourage the plants to 

 grow stocky and the vines to branch freely.
