TOOLS 



are essential, if window plants are to be carried through 

 the winter. A small work-bench, about two feet wide, and 

 at least four feet long, will be useful in various ways. A 

 trowel, coarse iron sieve, bundle of small sticks for holding 

 plants upright, some twine, a lot of ''crocks," or flower- 

 pots broken up into inch pieces, and a quantity of flower- 

 pots, will be needed. These last need not be described. 

 They should be of a light brick-red color, sound, and having 

 a suitable hole in the bottom. In speaking of pots, it must 

 be remembered that each one is of a certain size. The 

 size is determined by the width of the pot across the top ; 

 hence the names, two-inch, three-inch, seven-inch, ten-inch, 

 etc.
