AN IRRIGATrNG FLOWER POT. 



It is generally conceded that lack of 

 adequate and regular watering is re- 

 sponsible for by far the larger num- 

 ber of failures of amateurs who at- 

 tempt window gardens in dwelling 

 houses. Watering may be neglected 

 until roots of plants are dried out and 

 killed, or so little water may be ap- 

 plied that it never penetrates to roots, 

 or so much water may be supplied that 

 combined with defective drainage the 

 soil may be soured and roots may rot. 

 It is claimed by the manufacturers of 

 the Joy-0 Jardinieres and Pots adver- 

 tised in this paper that this recently 

 devised pot banishes all the above 

 troubles, if only water is supplied at 

 least once in every eight days and the 

 owner of the plants may be absent for 

 a week or even ten days without det- 

 riment to the plants for lack of water, 

 provided the reservoir is filled the day 

 of departure, a feature which will at 

 once appeal to most amateurs. 



The pot is composed of two parts, 

 the pot proper, and the reservoir into 

 which the pot fits with sufficient space 

 between the walls of the pot and res- 

 ervoir. The pot holding the plant is 

 made with imperforate bottom and

its side walls are glazed externally so 

 as to restrict to the porous base the 

 flow of water which percolates slowly 

 through the pores of the clay, reaches 

 the inside of the pot, rises through the 

 soil to roots of plant and finally the 

 surplus evaporates from the surface — 

 practically a scheme of sub-irrigation. 

 The pots are of pleasing shape and 

 do not show disfigurations due to salts 

 or vegetation, and need no covering 

 to make them presentable. They 

 should make a good selling article for 

 the florist.
