A Concrete Veranda Box for 

 Eighty Cents 



FOR some years we had used wooden 

 boxes for flowers on our stone porch, 

 only to find them unsatisfactory, on account 

 of warping, cracking, and the consequent 

 very careful watering needed to keep the 

 plants from drying out, and as more and 

 more stone, stucco and cement houses were 

 built in our neighborhood, the possibilities 

 of concrete were considered. 



On account of weight, we decided to make 

 boxes, five feet long, all walls one inch thick, 

 so as to be easily handled. We have since 

 found that any length concrete box can be 



A cement veranda box just taKen from the mold 

 and ready for finishing off 



successfully made, but as our old boxes had 

 been in 10- and 15-foot lengths, a 5-foot unit 

 was easier to experiment with, and could be 

 used to good advantage. 



We made a mold consisting of bottom, 

 sides and end planks, loosely nailed together, 

 the nails not quite driven in. This mold 

 we lined, loosely, with poultry netting and 

 folded the ends and corners so as to make 

 a reasonably close fit to the walls of 

 mold. 



To go inside the netting we made an inner 

 mold, consisting of four pieces of plank, 

 sides and ends, not nailed but with cleats 

 near each end of side planks, of such thickness 

 as to let the two end planks come inside of 

 the side planks, so as to make the outside 

 end face of the inner mold smooth. This 

 mold measured two inches smaller each 

 way than the outer mold, leaving an inch 

 clearance all around. 



Mortar, consisting of one part Portland 

 cement, two parts of sand and enough 

 water to soften the mass to the consistency 

 of dough, was poured in bottom of outside 

 mold over the wire, to a thickness of one 

 inch. The inner mold was then set in, care 

 being taken to keep it central, and the space 

 between the sides and ends of the two
