PONSET BLACK FLOWER POTS 
DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF BIRD NEPONSET 
BLACK FLOWER POTS 
1. The pots should be 9/10 filled with soil, leaving but 
1/10 for water. 
2. Seedlings should be firmed into the soil and watered 
well. 
3. Do not water again until the soil is nearly dry. Never 
water when the soil is wet to the touch. This is very im - 
portant. 
4. In general it will be necessary to water but once a day 
and seldom necessary to water if the day is cloudy. 
5. It is advisable to keep plants in Bird Neponset Black 
Flower Pots under cover. If the pots are set in a sash bed 
the sash should always be on during rains. Otherwise the 
soil in the pots will become wet and soggy, excluding the 
air and causing the plants to turn yellow. This same pre¬ 
caution is necessary when growing plants in clay pots. 
6. In transplanting, the plant is removed from the pot be¬ 
fore it is placed in the soil. Care should be taken not to 
disturb the root system. 
7. The Bird Neponset Black Flower Pot can be used to 
protect plants from cutworms. After transplanting to the 
ground, tear off the bottom of the pot, invert the pot and 
place it around the plant, pressing it gently into the soil 
so that it extends down about 3 /4" below the surface. 
8. Do not lift a pot containing a plant by grasping the edge 
between the fingers. 
9. Especially with large flower pots, there is a tendency 
to squeeze when handling. Reasonable care should be 
exercised so as not to tear apart the roots by too much 
pressure. 
10. The plants will do best on planks, cement or other 
dry surface. Do not place Bird Neponset Black Pots on 
a moist surface.
