Abstract: An improved potassium-supplement composition that is more palatable is prepared containing 10 to 50% of one or more potassium-containing mineral salts and a balance of from 25 to 50% by weight of the balance of a carbohydrate-containing foodstuff such as sugar or a non-hydroscopic starch hydrolysate and from 50 to 75% by weight of the balance of a potassium-containing foodstuff, at least half of which is milk solids, such as cocoa, powdered tomato or ground nuts.

Abstract: A portable flower pot for house plants which is essentially open at the bottom, the bottom of which is in the form of a grid or a screen, said bottom prior to adding the growing medium being at least 35% open and preferably at least 75% open, said grid or screen having openings at least 1/36" and smaller than about 1/8" in the largest dimensions.

Abstract: Water-soluble, substantially anhydrous materials such as anhydrous aspirin salt and anhydrous calcium aspirin salt, stable to hydrolysis, are prepared by subjecting a freeze-dried water-soluble material containing molecularly bound water which is susceptible to hydrolysis to a vacuum of 10 microns or less Hg to remove the molecularly bound water and condensing the removed water on a condenser below -50.degree. C.

Abstract: A novel planter which facilitates watering of a plant over extended periods, and also facilitates transplanting of the plant with little or no shock.

Abstract: A method of improving the stability of primarily dry seeds which comprises a step of secondary drying of the seeds at a first temperature of from 50.degree. to 60.degree.
