  Operation 
  

  

  A 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  accompanying 
  illustration 
  shows 
  the 
  

   water 
  reservoir 
  (B), 
  the 
  false 
  bottom 
  (D). 
  Sponges 
  

   through 
  false 
  bottom 
  (CC), 
  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. 
  DRAINAGE, 
  

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

   vided 
  by 
  a 
  small 
  opening 
  in 
  one 
  end 
  imediately 
  above 
  

   the 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  false 
  botom, 
  which 
  prevents 
  any 
  possi- 
  

   bility 
  of 
  a 
  heavy 
  downpour 
  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 
  authori- 
  

   ties 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  most 
  perfect 
  plan 
  ever 
  devised 
  for 
  the 
  

   growth 
  of 
  any 
  kind 
  of 
  plant 
  life. 
  

  

  Our 
  method 
  of 
  under-watering 
  prevents 
  any 
  possi- 
  

   bility 
  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 
  main- 
  

   tained 
  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 
  con- 
  

   vince 
  you 
  that 
  you 
  are 
  mistaken.
