We Can Convince You 



It makes no difference what you grow— flowers or vegetables, under 

 glass or in the open — your object is the same— to increase quality and 

 quantity. That is where your profit lies, and in that is where Magic Com- 

 plete Plant Foods will help. '**' 



Let us know your specialty and how much space (in square feet) you devote to it. We 

 will prescribe the special plant food you require, and tell you ju§t how to use Magic 

 Special Plant Foods. Mere words you don't want and promises are a drug on the 

 market. What you want is results, and so do we. 

 We cai^ONVINCE you if you will let us.

DIRT BANDS 



Very soon every grower will be mak- 

 ing free use of dirt bands for the grow- 

 ing of all plants. Certainly, uo florist 

 can afford to pass them by. They are 

 time and money savers, producing better 

 plants at less cost and with less labor. 

 It simply is a question of getting the 

 best band. 



Our new EEADY-USE dirt band tells 

 its own story. Send a postal for free 

 samples and see how it does it. It comes 

 to you ready to set the plant in, which 

 means saving of very valuable time re- 

 quired to fold the ordinary strips of 

 paper commonly offered for bands. 



We make plain bands, too, from high- 

 grade, hard finish stock. Samples will 

 be sent. Compare them with others and 

 put them to any test. It is not how 

 cheap, but how good, is our motto.
