GROWING PLANTS IN BIRD N 
A POT FOR GROWING PLANTS 
The BIRD NEPONSET BLACK FLOWER POT is a 
product of two years research work in greenhouses and 
scientific laboratories and has been developed especially 
for growing plants. It is light in weight, rugged, and 
flexible and will grow plants equal to those in clay pots. 
It may serve as a plant container, a shipping pot, or be re¬ 
used if plants are shifted to pots of larger size. 
The non-porous structure makes the pot adaptable to any 
condition where plants can be grown. An even distribution 
of moisture in the soil is assured with a greatly reduced 
time for attention. 
CONDITIONS FOR BEST GROWTH 
The essentials for good growth of plants are light, moisture, 
a proper temperature and a good potting soil. The aeration 
of the soil takes care of itself through the surface in the 
same manner that aeration occurs in field and forest. 
Once a plant is established in a Bird Neponset Black 
Flower Pot the moisture of the soil is the most important 
factor to control. Under conditions of excess moisture the 
soil is mud and the plants become spindling and yellow. 
Too much moisture fills up the pores of the soil. The soil 
should be moist, never wet, to give an even, vigorous 
growth and a dark, healthy green color with a firm texture 
to the leaves. 
BIRD FLOWER POTS REQUIRE LITTLE WATER 
This flower pot conserves the moisture of the soil. The 
use of such pots requires about one-half the amount of 
water normally applied to porous pots. Under ordinary 
conditions water need be applied but once in twenty-four 
hours. Water should not be applied until the soil is almost 
dry. Proper judgment should be exercised so that the 
soil will almost dry out on each day of pleasant weather. 
Practically no water should be applied during a cloudy 
period. r
