vases are of elegant shape, and without drainage holes, thus saving the use of saucers. They will be 
found most useful for Dafl'odils, Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocuses, Early Scillas, Snowdrops, Chionodoxas, 
Lily of the Valley, etc., either for table decoration or the greenhouse. During Summer they may be used 
for standing little pot-plants in and other table decorations.
