Most garden soils to-day are deficient in humus—a vital 
constituent of all fertile soils and essential to healthy plant 
growth. Without humus, growth is stunted and weakly 
and no amount of fertiliser will remedy the defect. 
ROOT-O-POTS supply essential humus and deposit it 
around the roots where it is incorporated with the soil by 
the action of earth worms. 
NO OTHER POT GIVES THESE ADVANTAGES. 
(1) ROOT-O-POTS bring plants to maturity quicker with- 
out check on transplanting. 
(2) The roots revel in the peat walls and bottom of the 
pots resulting in a healthy vigorous plant. 
(3) The ROOT-O-POT absorbs many times its own weight 
in water enabling the plant to resist long periods of drought 
when planted out. 
(4) ROOT-O-POTS improve soil fertility in the MOST 
ECONOMICAL WAY—where the plant is actually growing. 
When you consider these advantages you realise the 
EXCEPTIONAL VALUE of ROOT-O-POTS. 
ROOT-O-POTS are made from the finest sterilised horti- 
cultural peat and are suitable for all types of plants and 
Nursery stock. They are used in quantity not only in this 
country but in many parts of the world. Ideal for Tomatoes, 
Cucumbers, Beans, Strawberries, Sweet Peas, Chrysan- 
themums and all cuttings, Bedding and Rock plants, and 
should be used with suitable potting compost. 
ROOT-O-POTS are light in weight, open in texture and 
strong. They are economical in transport, travel without 
breakage and can be dropped without damage. 
ROOT-O-POTS Give Better Plants —Quicker.
