SAVE THE POTS. 



Prior to this j'car of grace pots have 

 been so plentiful and cheap that they 

 have been treated as of little value. Now 

 it is different, however; pots are scarce, 

 worth saving and careful cleaning, for a 

 dirty pot is not safe for a second using. 

 In England the pot problem and the 

 necessity for economy is even greater 

 than in America and the following note 

 from a British chronicle will be of in- 

 terest: 



"Pot Avashing ranks today, as it ever 

 has done, among the most menial of a 

 gardener's duties, reserved generally for 

 wet and frosty days, and for the least 

 skillful of the gardening staff. Unloved 

 at any time, it is particularly so in times 

 of frost, unless heated potting shed or 

 convenience in boiler shed exists for 

 the work. For a considerable number 

 of years, however, pot washing by hand 

 has been entirely dispensed with by 

 many growers. It was done just as ef- 

 fectually, and far more cheaply, by the 

 elements. The finishing of crops of 

 chrysanthemums or carnations always 

 released a few thousand pots, and these, 

 freed of soil, were taken direct to the 

 then vacant standing ground and ar- 

 ranged close together. A few weeks 

 thus exposed to the weather wrought a 

 great cliange, l^he interiors being usually 

 as clean as if thoroughly scrubbed. In- 

 verting the batch, the exteriors were ex- 

 posed, with similar cleansing results, 

 frost playing a most important part in 

 freeing them from moss or vegetable ac- 

 cumulations of any kind. In this way 

 thousands of pots were cleansed at prac- 

 tically no cost, and the cleansing was 

 even more thorough and complete than in 

 ordinary washing. In addition, the pots 

 are appreciably hardened by the expo- 

 sure, while materially sweetened — dis- 

 infected if you will — by the action of 

 the frost. In any case it is worthy of 

 general adoption as a time-saver alone. 

 The idea originally came from observ- 

 ing the cleanness of the exposed portions
