' The size of the box. of course, depends on the window its to fit under, but a good standard size is ten Inches wide with an 8 inch depth. This makes a box small enough to be easily constructed in a house workroom. The important thing to remember is that a box must be stiong and large enough to hold soil and withstand the effects of watering. That means one should construct the box of dampness-resistawood, such as cypress, white pine and red wood. The - boaids, for best results, should be not less than an inch thick. Since the , seeds and flowers will be watered almost daily, quick drainage is essential in a flower box, which holds a relatively small quantity of soil to retain the water. This is achieved by sloping the bottom of the box to the front, where drainage holes are bored. With the holes in the front, away from the side of the house, the extra water will dram off freely, without staining the paint under the window To support the box, fit wooden or metal brackets around the window sill, running them fully to the front of the box.
