portable plant support is necessary. 



Made in four heights. Posts are galvanized steel angles, 

 sharpened at one end, and with clamp holes for rails, spaced 

 every four inches. Rails are of best cypress and are firmly 

 secured to the posts by a special binding clamp that is as easy 

 to apply as it is easy to remove. Can be erected quicker than 

 you can drive wood stakes and stretch strings.
