watering-pot, and states that its superiority consists 

 in the roses being so formed as to give the water 

 thrown from them the nearest resemblance to a gentle 

 shower of rain, which renders it peculiarly suitable for 

 watering seedlings or other tender plants. As the brass 

 joints which connect the roses to the spout are made 

 watcr-tieht, there is no danger of its returning outside, 

 to the annoyance of the person using it : it has a spout 

 to which the roses are screwed ; a box to contain 

 either spout out of use ; it has, also, holes in which the 

 joints are placed ; a large rose, for watering flower- 

 beds ; and a smaller rose, for watering plants in pots.
