between the plants The cans are filled with water which graaually escapes to the earth in the boxes Roots of the plants are thus soaked instead of the upper inch of soil only as often happens If the cans are filled several times a day in hot weather the plants are bound to flourish like the proverbial green bay tree A mild dose of plant food will be welcomed by every porch box Blither use a
