Ajd to Transplanting.

Transplanting flowering and vegetable plants is now greatly facilitated by the use of paper flower pots which are nothing/ffibre or less than the familiar j?aper drinking cups. For use in the farm and garden these cups are perforated and the seedlings are grown in them in the nursery. When It comes time to put the delicate plants out in the open they are transferred bodily, pots and all, and placed in the ground, The transfer is attended by no whatever, which is rarely the case when the roots are disturbed during the operation as when removing them from the little pots of clay which are generally used for this purpose. The perforations enable the rootlets to find their way beyond the limits of the pot, and so the paper does not interfere with their growth.
