Everybody knows that after getting our tubs for large plants made of the most enduring woods, we are often worried over the rotting away of the bottoms through contact with the earth.

Clement & Dunbar, of Philadelphia, who make the preparing of cedar tubs for plants a specialty of business, have an arrangement by which independent feet are fastened to the tub, as in the cut annexed. It is a capital idea, and will be much appreciated by the many who have had to worry over new bottoms for old tubs.
