Its roof is of bent cardboard, and the glass in it is waxed sandwich paper. The box itself forms the greenhouse building. If you like, your greenhouse may be made smaller, but this size is an easy one to handle. Greenhouse for the garden is made from the deep half of some box about seven inches long and five inches deep. Garden stands are made by gilding spools and then poking into each spool, as it stands upright, some artificial flowers. The paper should be pasted over the sides of the box quite flat. A long box covered over with green crape paper looks just like a garden hedge. If you have none, ordinary brown paper will answer. ![]() A roadway may be made from sandpaper too. Sandpaper cut in strips and laid upon it forms the garden paths. Green crape paper placed upon the floor will make the garden lawn. It has a pergola and a greenhouse, a sunken pool, flower-stands, gravel walks, benches, and everything that a garden should have. It is such fun to play in a garden that I made one for Boxville.
