THE OLD WAT, 



"THE ROYAL" POT LIFTER. 



Those who have experienced trouble and had accidents in lifting 

 potted plants out of fancy jardinieres as they empty stale water, will 

 appreciate the value of our Koyal Pot Lifter. It is made of brass, is 

 strong and will not rust. 



There are various contrivances on the market for this purpose, but 

 they are cheap wire arrangements liable to slip, rust and break, and 

 besides, look unsightly connected with an aristocratic jardiniere, while 

 our "Royal" adds richness. We furnish them to fit pots of the fol- 

 lowing sizes : 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 inch. Price, 6Uc. each, or by 

 mail, 65c. each.
