PATENT APPLIED FOR. 



Having three (3) holes in sides at equal distances and at angl« with 

 bottom of pot, perfectly free drainage and ventilation are insured. 



The absence of hole in bottom, as in the ordinary flower pot, prevents 

 clogging of outlet, trouble from worms and decay of roots from want of proper 

 ventilation. 



Also Pressed Improved and Hand-made pots. All sizes constantly on hand 

 at LOWEST PRICES. Hanging Vases and Seed Pans.
