The left marker is rather larger and stronger; it, too, may be pointed
and not notched, so acting as a good pot-marker. Make it 5 ins. long,

labels as well as being useful in the outdoor garden]

A GARDEN SIEVE--MATERIALS

2 small boards 13 x 2-1/2 x 1/2 in.
2 small boards 7 x 2-1/2 x 1/2 in.
2 strips of wood 12 x 1/2 x 1/4 in.
2 strips of wood 8 x 1/2 x 1/4 in.
Fine wire netting 13 x 8 in.

[Illustration: Josephine's box had too limited a drainage area]

[Illustration: Make a flat like this one of Eloise's and so provide

Make the framework of a box without a lid, using the 13-inch pieces for
the sides and 7-inch pieces for ends, putting the ends between the side
pieces. Use the wire netting for the bottom of the box, nailing it on
with the strips of wood. Paint the sieve with two coats of dark green
paint.

A BULB FLAT

The dimensions of the box are the same as those for the sieve except for
