molds was filled, a little at a time, the mortar 

 being tamped solid over the netting with a 

 small stick. 



No care need be exercised in keeping the 

 netting in the centre of space between the 

 two molds, as its position is immaterial, and 

 even were it against either side, the mortar 

 would work around it so it would not show, but 

 when the space is full, care should be 

 taken that all ragged edges and ends of 

 netting are beneath the top of the mortar 

 surface. 



After the mortar has slightly set, which 

 will be in four or five hours, the inner mold 

 is carefully withdrawn, one plank at a time, 

 and the box left to set thoroughly, for about 

 three days. It is important to withdraw 

 the inner mold as soon as possible, as the 

 planks of which it is made tend to swell, 

 while the mortar contracts slightly and the 

 bottom mortar will split if the mold is not 

 withdrawn on time. The partially driven 

 nails of outside mold are then pulled, and the 

 mold taken from around the box, which is 



Mold for two 5-foot boxes, showing inner mold 

 and wire netting 



troweled up smooth with very thin pure 

 cement. Holes for drainage can be cut in 

 bottom with a pocket knife, and after thor- 

 oughly wetting the box, a very thin pure 

 cement wash is applied with a brush, 

 and it is ready for use. The outer surface 

 need not of necessity be troweled and 

 cement-washed. It could be left rough 

 and covered with small stone pebble dash, 

 or be finished to match the house or wall 

 as desired. 



This gives the boxes the appearance of 

 being a part of the porch, and they can be 

 left in place all winter, after the plants are 

 removed, without being the eyesore that 

 wooden boxes are, under similar cir- 

 cumstances. 



Boxes made as described hold moist- 

 ure much better than wooden ones and the 

 plants grow better in them. 



For all ordinary requirements, the poultry- 

 netting reinforcement is quite strong enough, 

 but a very long box, practically unbreakable, 

 can be made by using a welded fabric known 

 as Pittsburg fence in place of the netting. 



It is desirable, where several boxes are 

 needed, to arrange molds so that more 

 than one box can be made at a time, thereby
