Fig. 49 is a very pretty little flower basket, made of wire work, painted green. 
It is supported underneath by a frame work of wood, either oak or pine, neatly 
decorated, and having castors attached by the legs, for read}' removal. 
A zinc tray of perhaps four inches depth, is fitted inside the wire, which holds 
all the earth and water, (which all other baskets of this construction should have.) 
A small aperture for the withdrawal of the water, is fitted with a small stop 
cock, which should be hidden from sight. The plants kept in here, are to be 
packed in moss and will, with occasional watering, keep fresh and green upon 
the surface. 
Fig. 48. 
Figs. 50 and 51 are simple stands to be used for the same purpose, or can be 
adapted to the keeping of cut flowers. The top of No. 51, is covered with a 
small movable brass wire grating, the meshes being half an inch square, to sup- 
port the flowers, and keep them in an upright position. 
Fig. 50 is more convenient for preserving small plants, just in bloom, packed 
in with moss. This is, also, covered with wire work of brass. 
Fig. 52 is a plant table, made of any style of wood, the heavier the better. 
It is of considerable depth, and will hold a large quantity of earth, is also lined
