POTS AND GROWING CONTAINERS 
BIRD VITA-M POTS JIFFY POTS 
A new pot of molded pulp construction, closely 
resembling a clay pot in appearance and dimen- 
sions. It is extremely lightweight but completely 
durable with comparatively smooth interior and 
exterior surfaces. 
You may grow and ship in the Vita-M pot, or it 
may be reused as many as four times or more 
without deterioration. Roots do not grow through 
the sides or bottom. Plants are easily knocked out 
of Vita-M pots leaving clean interior pot surfaces. 
No breakage.

VITA-POTS: Grow and ship in the same pot—saves 
labor and leaves root ball undisturbed. Nutrient 
treatment, so successful in Vita-Bands, has now 
been applied to this sturdy resinous pot. Reduces 
watering. 
RED POTS: For shipping only. Not recommended 
for growing. Lightweight and sturdily made to 
protect root ball from breakage—inner wax coat- 
ing prevents drying out. A must to preserve the 
top quality of your plants in transit.

A new ‘expendable’ pot constructed of 25% 
wood fiber and 75% peat, JIFFY-POTS contain 
supplementary soluble fertilizers — Nitrogen, 
phosphorus and potash. Roots grow through it 
easily and become part of the pot very early in 
growth. 
Available in 214 and 38-inch pots, they are rigid 
except when thoroughly soaked and will stand 
considerable handling and shipping abuse.
