The (luality of a flower pot dej)eiids, first of all, on the clay. 

 And tliere is all the difference in the world in clays. The 



IONIA CLAY 



gives a porous ])ot — the best growing pot on the market. 

 It gives a strong pot — the strongest made. It gives a light 

 ])ot — the lightest made, which makes a saving in freight and 

 in handling. The saving in freight is a very important 

 item on a large order. ^ 



IONIA POTS 



are sorted carefully, twice, after leaving the kilns and before 

 packing. Never anything but perfect })ots in Ionia cases. 



Ionia pots are so strong and arc so carefully packed (in hardwood crates witli 



plenty of straw) that w.- practically never have a claim for breakage. In the 



past six yeais we liave tiled with the two railroads on which wc shii) only one claim for 

 l>reakage," and tiiat for an amount less than $;;.(»0. it is a record wltllOUt a 



parallel.
