A study of the accompanying illustration shows the water 

 reservoir (E). the false bottom (D). Sponges through false 

 bottom (CO, Soil (B),and body of box (A). In the right 

 hand corner of the box will be noted a tube which extends 

 from reservoir upward through false bottom and soil to top 

 This is for the purpose of pouring water, when needed, into 

 the reservoir. These sponges draw up the water slowly and 

 feed the roots of the plant in exactly the right amount to 

 make the life and growth of the plant a certainty. DRAIN- 

 AGE, which is of utmost importance in plant culture, is pro- 

 vided by a small opening in one end immediately above the 

 line of the false bottom, which prevents any possibility of a 

 heavy downpo\ir of rain ever drowning out the plants. It 

 will be noted that this plan is what is known as Sub-irrigation 

 .and is conceded by all authorities to be the most perfect plan 

 ever de\'ised for the growth of any kind of plant life. 



Our method of under-watering prevents any possibility of 

 the surface of the soil becoming hardened or baked as in the 

 surface-watered box or pot. This one fact saves the life of 

 many valuable plants. 



A liberal supply of air to the roots is constantly maintained 

 through the sponges and the soil will always be found mealy 

 and loose, and moisture is always evenly distributed from 

 top to bottom of soil. You may think you cannot grow Flowers 

 or Ferns in your home, but a trial of Illinois Self-Watering 

 Flower Boxes will convince you that you are mistaken.
