Operation 



A study of the accompanying illustration .shows the water 

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

 bottom (GG), Soil (B), and body of box (A). In the right-hand 

 corner of the box will be noted a tube which extends from reser- 

 voir 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 immediately 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-irrlgatlon and is conceded by all 

 authorities to be the most perfect plan ever devised for the 

 growth of any kind of plant fife. 



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 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 convince you 

 that you are mistaken.
