CARTERS ALICANTE VASE. 
The conventional Garden Vase is a receptacle in 
which plants usually pass a miserable existence under the 
uncongenial alternatives of being unduly drenched with 
water, or scorched up by the sun and drying winds, on 
account of the bulk of soil being insufficient to retain 
enough moisture for the successful culture of plants 
therein. 
But we have changed all this. As their name 
implies, CARTERS SOIL CAPACITY 
VASES — of which the Alicante is a typical example 
— entirely obviates this. In them internal soil space is 
the first consideration, which enables plants to flourish, 
the roots being in a large bulk of earth and not requiring 
the constant attention necessary to the average vase. 
The design of the Alicante Vase is of that free 
style which harmonises with all classes of architecture. 
When placed on the piers and buttresses of balustrades 
and terrace walls it imparts a dignity to the house, while 
in the garden, on the lawn, or in the centre of cross 
walks and beds, a massive well-filled vase adds a charm 
to the flower garden. 
The Alicante Vase is made in two sizes— 
14 in. and 18 in. internal diameter.
