INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.


This is a good idea for house plants, which are such a trouble to keep
properly watered.

All gardeners tell you that plants never do so well in jardinières as in
the red earthen pots. It is for the reason that the common pots are
porous and allow evaporation, so that the water does not become stagnant
and injure the plant, while the glazed jardinières effectually prevent
it.

The great objection to the red pots is that they need a saucer under
them, and when moved are difficult to handle without spilling the
contents of the saucer.

Plants are not a bit greedy. They don't drink all the water that is
given them at once; they love to let a little water run through and
remain in the saucer until they need it. It is therefore necessary to
the health of plants to let them stand in a vessel that will permit them
to make their little reserve store if they wish to.

The new invention accomplishes all of these purposes.
