42 GARDEN PROFITS 



After planting, the tile remains in the barrel; 

 leave it empty so as to take water, which is poured 

 into the tile for the lower rows ; on top of the barrel 

 for the two upper rows. It would be impossible 

 to water the lower plants without the tile and the 

 core of sand. You can water the plants too much. 

 Fill the tile once a day, and put about two quarts 

 of water around it. After cold weather sets in 

 quit watering. The plants want no winter pro- 

 tection. Set the barrel on bricks to keep it off the 

 ground. If any should die in the summer, you can 

 replant by taking a runner and putting the young 

 plant in the hole, making it fast with two little 

 sticks.
