Walker, read before the Montreal Oardcncrs' and Florists' Club, March 6, 19ia. The standard flower pot of today is little different from the pot of our forefathers as far as I know. The ma- terial used today may be of a better grade, and imiformity of shape may have improved, but otherwise there has been no improvement from a grower's standpoint. The grower cannot blame the manu- facturer if the pot of the present day is not satisfactory, as it is possible the manufacturer knows nothing, or at least should not be expected to know, anything about the require- ments of plants as we understand them. Therefore his business is to produce as good a pot as possible of the orthodox type. It is for the grower to suggest to the manufacturer how the pot could be improved upon. In suggesting such a radical change as I w-ill outline, it seems to me that the proper way to bring such a mat- ter before the grower is through flor- ists' clubs and horticultural societies; they could discuss the matter at their meetings and publish the findings. It might be advisable, however, to have a number of reputable growers experi- ment with the pot before passing judgment, but in the case of the change I suggest, the points in its fa- vor are so apparent that the experi- mental stage could be dispensed with; as a matter of fact, the writer has ex- perimented with the pot and found it to be all he claims for it. The change I suggest is the manner in which the pot should be drained. At the present time our pots are drained by an opening in the bottom of the pot
