Illinois Self- Watering Flower Boxes 



You can have beautiful flowers and strong, hardy, luxurious plants in your apartment, 

 city house or country home by using Illinois Self-Watering Flower Boxes. You don't 

 have to be an expert gardener to grow them. Simply fill the box with earth, plant a few 

 seeds or slips, fill the reservoir once in two weeks — the plants will sprout and grow rapidly 

 without further attention. 



Reservoir in bottom of box supplies just the proper amount of water to make plants strong 

 and healthy without rotting them. Water comes up from the bottom and reaches roots first, 

 therefore has no chance to decay stalks as in case of pouring water on top of soil — which 

 quickly becomes hard and does not allow proper absorption. Observe illustration above — 

 "A" shows exterior of box, " B" earth in same, "C" sponges which suck up moisture and supply 

 roots, "E" water in reservoir. They are made of nicely finished metal, rust and leak proof. 

 Made in a large variety of styles and sizes for indoor or outdoor use on porch, window sill, 

 lawn, etc. Inexpensive, indestructible. Other styles to order. Clubs, Hotels, Conserva- 

 tories, Public Institutions and Homes completely equipped. We can also supply very 

 handsome alabaster or cement Boxes, Urns, etc., equipped with our patent Self-Watering liners.
