By RUTH W, SPEARS Plant stands come in a wide pange of styles and today's pat- tern gives directions for making two entirely different types. The shadow box which will hold three four-inch pots hangs on the wall to brighten up a corner of most any room in the house. While the terraced stand was designed for a bay window it will fit nicely into any sunny angle. It is three feet ten inches high with the top shelf fourteen inches long and the bottom shelf thirty inches long. You get the green and white rope effect which borders the shelves by tracing the sawing and paint- ing designs directly onto the, wood. This is a well-balanced stand that is suitable for small pots of African violets or large geranium plants. Price of pattern 366 is 40c postpaid.
