The Florists' Review 



March 1. 1917. 



ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS 



Our Square Paper Pots ar« the Original Im- 

 proved DOUBLE Bottom Square Paper Pots that 

 we hare sold for FIVE YEARS. 



They are by far the BEST POT on the market 

 today. 



They are made with one tack. No glue. 



By ACTUAL TEST they can be made up MORE 

 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 has made our Square Paper Pota and Square 

 Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE TEARS' TEST 

 by the U. S. Oovemment, the Canadian Oovem- 

 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 8-in. Square Pa- 

 per Pots by freight to Yantic, Conn." Avery 

 Bros., Norwich Town, Conn. 



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

 5000 in 1914, 7000 in 1915, 10,000 in 1916 and 

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

 Pots.) 



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

 •ice 8-ln., for which I inclose check." George 

 Foulsham, Supt., Lenox, Maas. 



(Mr. Foulsham orders our Paper Pots regularly 

 every year and says "We grow sweet peas and 

 all our annuals in them.") 



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

 8000 4-in. Square Paper Pots." 0. B. Hunt, 

 Florist, Rutland, Vt. 



(Mr. Hunt orders our Paper Pots each year 

 and knows they are the best there are.)

0BSA8ED DIBT BANDS 



1— Should a Dirt Band be GREASED and the 

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



OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED and the 

 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 has to be 

 TORN OFF when the plant is taken out. 



After the bands are filled and watered the soil 

 settles tight against the 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 

 perfect for the purpose. 



They are the BEST Band on the market, but 

 also the CHEAPEST. 



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

 Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet Peas and other 

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

 believe any one using these 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. Gager, WilUmantlc, 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 BO well pleased with the Dirt Bands that 

 I DO J40T SEE HOW A MARKET GARDENER 

 CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT 

 THEM." 



To show 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 Sontk Da- 

 kota Agricultural Experiment Station, Brookings, 

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

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

 Board of Regents of Normal Schools, Whitewater, 

 Wis., and inquiries for prices from New York 

 State College of Agriculture at Cktmell Univer- 

 sity and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. 



We have probably sold 6 times as many of our 

 Square Paper Pots and Dirt Bands as all other 

 firms put together.

The Market. 



There has been little let-up in business 

 conditions during the last week. Most 

 of the stores continue busy, but a quieter 

 time is expected to start within the next 

 few days. However, funeral work is 

 just as much in demand as it has been 

 for some time, and a great quantity is 

 turned out daily. There seems to be 

 a lack of design work, the majority of 

 this work being baskets and sprays. The 

 growers say that the prospects for 

 Easter trade are exceptionally good, 

 with an abundant supply of blooming 

 plants. Bulbous stock is plentiful. The 

 demand is fairly heavy and the supply 

 clears easily. Saturday specials are be- 

 ing run on violets, tulips and jonquils, 

 and this helps to clean up the market. 

 The daily out-of-town shipments arrive 

 in better condition, owing to the milder 

 weather. 



Roses arc plentiful, with a heavy sup- 

 ply of the longer grade. The supply of 

 the shorter grade, for which the demand 

 is much larger, is quite small and lim- 

 ited. Excellent Killarney, White Kil- 

 lamey. Sunburst and Ward roses, with 

 a fair supply of Montrose and Milady, 

 meet all demands for the better grade of 

 roses. Carnations are of splendid qual- 

 ity and arrive in good shipments, with 

 a slight shortage in the whites. Beds 

 are somewhat poor, vrith no great de- 

 mand. The market is well stocked 

 with jonquils, which are of fine qual- 

 ity. Tulips and poeticus, with a fair 

 quality of Paper Whites, are cleared 

 nicely. Violets are moving faster this 

 week. The quality is still good. Orchids 

 are in the market again and sell well. 

 The supply of gardenias is meeting all

 sweet peas and good shipments arrive. 

 Cut lilacs sell well. The supply of 

 Easter lilies is rather slim at present. 

 The scarcity of asparagus continues to 

 be a big drawback to business.

Recent visitors included H. Strompf, 

 of the Art Novelty Flower Co., New 

 York; C. J. Ford, with A. Herrmann, 

 New York; William B. Leipzig, of A.

 Shop, reports satisfactory business dur- 

 ing the opening days and says that trade 

 is picking up nicely.
