 black dirt, fill the reservoir with water and sow the

Operation 



A study of the accompanying illustration 

 shows the water reservoir (E), the false bottom 

 (D). Sponges through false bottom (GC), 

 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 provided by a small opening in one end im- 

 mediately above the line of the false bottom, 

 which prevents any possibility 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 con- 

 ceded by all authorities to be the most perfect 

 plan ever devised for the growth of any kind 

 of plant life.
