WINDOW- AND PORCH-BOXES 
Even if one is denied the pleasure of having a garden, 
no matter how small, it does not follow that he must be 
deprived of the joy of having plants and flowers about 
his home. Even the city flat-dwellers may have their 
share of good things by the use of window-boxes. 
We have lately devised the idea of making these 
boxes on the style of the popular sectional bookcases, 
in units of 2, 3 and 4 feet, painted green, when not 
otherwise ordered, or any color desired to match the 
woodwork of the house. 
Lately a demand for these boxes has arisen for use 
as winter adornments to the house and porch. In this 
case they are filled with small evergreens, such as 
Spruce, Arborvitacs, Firs and Pines. These small trees 
will live and thrive wonderfully well during our coldest 
winters and will add a most pleasing touch of life to an 
otherwise bare house. Prices for these vary according 
to the plants used, and will be sent on request. 
A most effective use for boxes will be found by the 
owners of large office buildings, where they are often used 
in each window all over the front. It has been iound that 
the tenants of the various rooms gladly welcome the 
touch of beauty and comfort the plants in the windows 
give them. 
Price for summer-flowering boxes, $1.60 per running foot com- 
plete, with plants and vines. 
Price for evergreen boxes varies according to plants used. 
Our Sectional Boxes fit any space and in small units are easily handled 
DECORATIVE PLAINTS IN TUBS 
We have a splendid collection of well-grown and well-established 
broad-leaved evergreens in tubs. They are highly ornamental and very 
useful for porch, garden and indoor use. As we carry only the hardiest 
and best-suited varieties, they are easily taken care of, and, apart from 
regular and thorough watering, they do not require any special attention. 
Under ordinary circumstances they are perfectly safe to keep outdoors 
until late in November, and oftentimes to Christmas. When severe 
weather sets in, they should be wintered in a rather cool hall or storage- 
room.
