ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS 



Our Square Paper Pots are the Original Im- 

 proved DOUBLE Hottom Square Paper Pots that 

 we have sold for FIVE YEARS. 



They are by far tlie BEST POT on the market 

 today. 



They arc made with one tack. No glue. 



By ACTUAL TEST they can be made up MOUB 

 THAN TWICE AS FAST as a stamped out pot 

 can be folded, assembled and "locked." 



They are made of the same new, tough paper 

 that lias made our Square Paper Pots and Square 

 Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE YEARS' TEST 

 by the U. S. Government, the Canadian Govern- 

 ment, International Expositions, large numbers 

 of State Agricultural Experiment Stations, City 

 Parks, Public Institutions and many thousands 

 of Superintendents, Florists and Truckers in all 

 parts of the country and Canada. 



"Enclosed please find a postofflce money order, 

 for which please send us 10,000 3-in. Square Pa- 

 per Pots by freight to Yantic, Conn." Avery 

 Bros., Norwich Town, Conn. 



(Avery Bros, got 5000 of our 3-in. Pots in 1913, 

 nOOO in 1914, 7000 In 1915, 10,000 in lyifi and 

 10,000 this year. They know the merits of our 

 Pots. ) 



"Kindly send us by express 20,000 Paper Pots, 

 Bize 3-in., for wliicli I inclose check." George 

 Foulshani, Supt., Lenox, Mass. 



(Mr. Foulsliam orders our Paper Pots regularly 

 every year and says "We grow sweet peas and 

 all our annuals in them.") 



"Send ))y freight 5000 3-in. Square Paper Pots, 

 8000 4-in. Square Paper Pots." G. E. Hunt, 

 Florist, Rutland, Vt. 



(Mr. Hunt orders our Paper Pots each year 

 and knows tliey are tlie best there are.)

CBEASED DIRT BANDS 



1— Should a Dirt Band be CREASED and the 

 ENDS held togetlier until it is set in place? Yes. 



OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED and tlie 

 ENDS HELD TOGETHER. 



NOT "LOCKED" 



2 — Should the ends of Dirt Bands be 

 "LOCKED?" NO. Because "locking" does not 

 serve any purpose and is a serious detriment. 



If the ends are "LOCKED" the band lias to be 

 TORN OFF when the plant is taken out. 



After the bands are filled and watered tlie soil 

 settles tight against tlie insides and they cannot 

 be unlocked. 



TEARING the ends of the bands apart will 

 break many of the "balls" or cubes of soil. 



Get a "locked" band, lock it and try tearing 

 It apart. 



Ours are made to SLIP APART easily, without 

 tearing, to let the plant out. 



Our bands are made of the same special, tough 

 paper that has been PROVED 5 YEARS to be 

 liorfi'ct for the purpose. 



They are tlie BEST Band on the market, but 

 also tlie CHEAPEST. 



Mr. H. B. Weaver of Bird-in-IIand, Pa., grows 

 Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and otlier 

 cut flowers. He says of our Dirt Bands: "I 

 believe any one using tliese bands will become a 

 regular customer." 



(He got 5000 Dirt Bands in 1913, 60,000 in 1914, 

 70,000 in 1915, 50,000 in 1916 and has just or- 

 dered 60,000 for 1917.) 



Mr. J. M. Gagcr, Willimantic, Conn., says: 

 "The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt 

 Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of to- 

 matoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE 

 BUSINESS." 



(Mr. Gager has just ordered 10,000 4-in. bands 

 for this year.) 



Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, Avon, Mass., says: 

 "I am so well pleased with the Dirt Bands that 

 I DO NOT SEE HOW A .MARKET GARDENER 

 CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT 

 THEM." 



To sliow the wide use of our Pots and 

 Bands by Government, State, City and Public 



Institutions we might say that while we are 

 writing this advertisement (Feb. 17th) one mail, 

 just opened, brought us orders from South Da- 

 kota Agricultural Experiment Station, Brookings, 

 S. D. (Tliey got 10,000 of our Paper Pots last 

 year and expect to use 20,000 tliis year) and 

 Board of Regents of Normal Schools, Whitewater, 

 Wis., and inquiries for prices from New York 

 State College of Agriculture at Cornell Univer- 

 sity and University of Micliigan, Ann Arbor. 



We have probably sold 5 times as many of our 

 Square Paper Pots and Dirt Bands as all other 

 lirms put together.
