NEW SELF-WATERING FLOWER-BOXES 
This shows how flowers will do “down town” where fchev do not get much sun. Here we have Geraniums growing and blooming beautifully, 
with Vinca variegata to droop over the edge. (See offer No. 86 below.) 
ALWAYS NEAT AND SATISFACTORY—EVERY ONE GUARANTEED NOT TO LEAK 
Your interest and ours will be mutually served if you order 
one or more of our Self-watering Boxes. Their chief merit lies in 
the fact that plants grow and thrive better in them, and blooms 
will be larger and foliage heavier, than in 
the ordinary surface-watered boxes. 
The boxes are provided with a self¬ 
watering device which renders attention 
unnecessary except at intervals of from 
io to 20 days. They are made of strong 
galvanized iron and painted an attractive green. Through 
the tube in the corner water is poured into the reservoir (e) 
underneath the false bottom (d) which supports the soil (b). 
Sponges (cc) touch the extreme bottom 
of box and extend upward into the soil 
in which the flowers are planted, thus

From Hotel Windermere—Chicago 
I am pleased to say that we have had your Self-watering Flower Boxes 
in use for about a year. By their use we have been able to grow our 
plants in corners and places where the sun does not shine. We can heartily 
recommend them. — Charles G. Moore, Mgr. 
From a Florist 
Gentlemen: — Words cannot express my satisfaction in these boxes 
and baskets. Plants grow better in them, but the non-dripping and non¬ 
rotting mean more than anything else to me. Very truly yours, 
A. S. F., Florist, Deansboro, N. Y.
