Abstract

A self service rack assembly for displaying and supporting hanging basket plants and/or bedding plants and potted plants in flats or trays is disclosed. The rack is quickly and easily assembled and is supported by either suitable wheels or legs for movement into and out of a store or display area or for permanent location. The rack assembly includes various supporting uprights and interchangeable trays, support shelves, and bars so that the rack assembly can be adapted to display a single type of plant container such as hanging baskets or can be adapted to display more than one type. The rack assembly is intended for use in self service stores such as hardware, department, discount, garden stores, and similar other outlets where such containers of plants are displayed and sold.
