proof paper, eliminating breakage. There is a rein¬ 
forcing disc in the bottom of the pot which prevents 
the roots from growing out between the closing sec¬ 
tions and adds to the strength of the container. 
Research has proved that this new pot encour¬ 
ages maximum growth. The walls of the pot are 
non-porous and promote a more even distribution of 
moisture and a better ramification of root growth 
than porous pots. 
The plants are grown from seed to maturity in 
the one green pot.
