EXCELSIOR 
Standard Flower Pots. 
—WITH— 
Patent Ventilated and Perfect Drainage Bottom. 
Awarded THE ONLY FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATE 
OF MERIT, for Standard Flower Pots, by the Society of 
American Florists, at Boston, Mass., August 21st, 1890. 
These Pots are all ‘‘STANDARD” shapes and sizes, the 
same as adopted and recommended by the Society of American 
Florists, and are far superior to any other FLOWER POTS. 
By the use of the EXCELSIOR FLOWER POTS the 
danger of OVER-WATERING is avoided. 
OVER-WATERING and the want of PROPER VEN- 
TILATION causes the soil in and underneath the Pots to 
become sour, and the roots to decay. Many valuable plants 
are lost in this way.
