SAUCERS are shallow vessels, made without any open- 

 ing in the bottom, and are intended to hold the water 

 that runs through flower-pots. Porous earthenware 

 saucers may be used in greenhouses and conservatories 

 to prevent the water from running over the floor ; but 

 in dwelling-houses they must be glazed, otherwise the 

 moisture will soak through and spoil the furniture, even 

 although no water is standing in them. Glazed and 

 hard-burned saucers are now obtainable in many 

 patterns, plain and ornamental. Coloured china and 

 stoneware pots in many ornamental patterns are also 

 obtainable, and the ordinary pots, placed inside them, 

 are completely hidden. If water stands in these pots 

 or saucers, after an hour or two, as a result of watering, 

 it should be emptied out to let air get to the roots of 

 the plants.
