Illinois Self- Watering Flower- Boxes 



TRY THEM THIS WINTER FOR YOUR WINDOWS— GUARANTEED NOT TO LEAK 



Sponges (cc) touch the extreme bottom of box 

 and extend upward into the soil in which the flowers 

 are planted, thus supplying water by sub-irrigation. 

 Careful trials have proved 

 that plants treated this way 

 thrive much better, blooms 

 will be larger and foliage 

 heavier than in ordinary sur- 

 face-watered boxes. Makes a 

 splendid Christmas present. 



The boxes are made of heavy galvanized iron, 

 which is painted an attractive green, and are pro- 

 vided with a self-watering device which renders 

 attention unnecessary, except 

 at intervals of from ten to 

 twenty days. Through the 

 tube in the corner water is 

 poured into the reservoir (e) 

 underneath the false bottom 

 (d) which supports the soil (b).
