Naturally they soon exhaust the soil of plantfood and water. In order to take care of this need; soils used in pots and boxes should be In good physical condition and hold large quantities of water. A soil of good physical condition may be made by mixing three parts of loam, one part of decomposed organic matter such as peat moss, composted material, or leaf mold, and one part of sand or sifted coal ashes. If one prefers, good potting soil may usually be obtained from a florist. J Physical condition of the soil has ; little to do with plantfood content. except that a friable sou is necessary for proper root growth, and such root growth makes possible the absorption of plantfood. But a I friable soil may still be unfertile, j To assure an adequate supply of food in the soil, a complete plant-1 food should be mixed with the soil before i: is placed in the pot at the rate of one heaping tablespoontul per gallon of soil.
