ROCHELLE PAPER POTS AND BANDS 



PAPER POTS 



Our Square Paper Pots are the Original Im- 

 nroved DOUBLE Bottom Square Paper Pots that 

 we have sold for FIVE YEARS. 



They have the best bottom of any pot on the 

 iiiiirket. 



They are by far the BEST POT on the market 

 in every way. 



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 

 cun be folded, assembled and "locked." 



Tliey are made of the same new, tough paper 

 Hint has made our Square Paper Pots and Square 

 Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVE YEARS' TEST 

 iiv tliL" U. S. Government, tlie Canadian Govern- 

 iiiciit, International Expositions, large numbers of 

 State Agricultural Experiment Stations, City 

 I'iirks, Public Institutions and many thousands 

 iif Superintendents, Florists and Truckers in all 

 |i.irts of the country and Canada. 



We sell no experiments.

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

 them to users everywhere. 



"Growing and shipping in same pots saves all 

 kinds of labor." The Dalles Floral Company, 



The Dalles, Oregon. 



Gentlemen: » * • \ye would say that we 

 nsed all the Paper Pots we got from you to raise 

 tomato plants. 



Our weather is often very severe late in May, 

 therefore we have to keep them inside and we 

 were certainly very satisfied with the splendid 

 results obtained from the Paper Pots. 



In fact. WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH 

 TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE CHARGED 

 KXAOTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT we did other 

 .vears and yet our CUSTOMERS INSISTED ON 

 HAVING THO.SB IN PAPER POTS. 



In our hot sun they never wilted. 



We reserved a few for Primulas and certainly 

 liave some fine ones. 



It was easier to keep them watered and growing 

 'luring the hot months. Wishing you success, 

 Blackadar & Co., 

 Dauphin Nursery and Greenhouses, 



,, Dauphin, Manitoba, Can. 



I used five thousand of your 2-inch Paper Pots 

 and was very pleased with them. 



I grew Tomato plants, Salvias, Garden Pinks, 

 .\sters and Pansy plants. 



.^[EVERYTHING DID FINE. 

 I sold the plants on our city market. 

 Customers were well pleased with the Paper

 "Gentlemen: Regarding Paper Pots and Dirt 

 Bands. Since I got them I HAVE DISCONTIN- 

 UED USING CLAY POTS SMALLER THAN 4 

 INCH. 



"PEOPLE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE PLANTS 

 THEY GET IN THE PAPER POTS. 



"We grow Tomatoes, Asters and Gladioli most- 

 ly, with a lot of other plants in lesser quantity. 

 "PAPER POTS FOR ME." 



Yours truly, O. P. Esklll,

 "We have grown all kinds of vegetable plants, 

 and also geraniums in your Paper Pots. 



"They are SATISFACTORY IN EVERY WAY. 

 "We got BETTER PLANTS, BIGGER PLANTS 

 AND PLANTS WHICH WERE HEALTHIER 

 AND MORE VIGOROUS THAN IN CLAY POTS. 

 "In parallel tests under same conditions at 

 least 25 per cent more plants matured in Paper 

 Pots than in clay pots."

 "In reference to the Paper Pots I think that 

 the plants grown in these Paper Pots take hold 

 better after transplanting than those grown in the 

 ordinary pots." 



Norman M. Ross, Chief of Tree Planting Division. 

 "We used your Paper Pots and found them very 

 satisfactory."

 growing plants, giving a MUCH MORE STOCKY 

 GROWTH WITH LESS WATER AND CARE." 

 Burdick Bros., Rockford, 111. 

 "We grew about 1,800 chrysanthemums in the 

 Paper Pots we bought of you. 



"The plants grew fine and DID NOT REQUIRE 

 AS MUCH WATER AS CLAY POTS, took less

 SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION 

 Dear Sirs: The Paper Pots purchased of you 

 were for use In the Formal Gardens of the • • * 

 San Diego Exposition. 



These pots proved a grand Innovation, wherein 



1 have been able to replace and rotate all kinds 

 of plants during the entire year. 



After young plants, either from seed sown in 

 the Pots or picked from flats, were fairly well 

 established I plunged the pots where I wanted 

 the plants to remain, and they went on as if to 

 (lie manor born. 



The loss was simply unobservable. 



This covered Canterbury Bells, Asters, Linarlas, 

 Oaillardias, etc. 



The Pots, being square, took up less room in the 

 flats, being light are easily transported to the 

 garden, the paper rotting gradually in the ground 

 the roots are never retarded or disturbed. 



Congratulating you, I am very truly yours, 

 F. Edward Gray, San Diego, Cal. 



"We used your Paper Pots for Tomatoes, 

 Omniums and Ferns. 



"They gave ver.v much better plants than those 

 raised in clay pots." Leafley & Meyer, 



905 G. St., Northwest, Washington, D. 0.

DIRT BANDS 



CREASED DIRT BANDS 



1— Should a Dirt Band l)e CREASED and the 

 E.\ns held together until it is set in place? Yes. 



OUR DIRT BANDS ARE CREASED. CUT AND 

 SCORED BY MACHINE TO THE EXACT SHAPE 

 and the ENDS HELD TOGETHER. 

 NOT "LOCKED" 



2 — Should the ends of Dirt Bands be 

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

 servo any purpose and is a serious detriment. 



If the ends arc "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 ordered 

 60,000 for 1917.) 



Mr. ,T. M. Gager, Willlniantic, Conn., says: 

 "The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt 

 Bands PAID ME THE BEST of any crop of 

 tomatoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE 

 BUSINESS." 



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

 for this year. ) 



Mr. Herbert W. Coulter, AVoii, 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." 



"I have now about 14,000 Carnation plants 

 started in 2-incli Bands, which are making a 

 RAPID GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in 

 transplanting from the sand. 



"I also have about 20,000 Aster plants trans- 

 planted in 2-inch Bands wlilcli can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FE.\R OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND as would be the case 

 if I used 2-inch pots. 



"I believe anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER." 

 Yours truly, 

 H. B. Weaver, Bird-in-Hand, Pa. 



"I used the Rochelle Dirt Bands for early 

 Tomatoes and Cucumbers with VERY GREAT 

 SUCCESS. 



"The plants grew well and did not mind the 

 shift from the frames to the open. I had an 

 IMMENSE CROP of both tomatoes and cucumbers 

 and both started picking fully 15 DAYS BEFORE 

 THE USUAL TIME in this section. I shall use 

 them more extensively this season." 



Chas. H. Weaver, Choice Fruits and 

 Vegetables, Dunnville, Ont., Can. 



"I find your Dirt Bands vei^r good for the 

 growing of Carnation plants. 



"I am enough pleased with my one season's 

 experience with the Dirt Bands TO CONTINUE 

 TO USE THEM EXCLUSIVELY." 



Wm. H. Feierbend, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 



"We used your Dirt Bands for tomatoes, asters, 

 beans, sweet corn, squash and melons. 



"WE GOT GOOD PLANTS." 



W. H. & W. N Gage, Cocliltuate, Mass. 



"We raised tomato plants in the 5-inch Dirt 

 Bands you shipped us. Plants become root bound 

 quicker In clay pots and REQUIRE LONGER 

 TO START OFF after setting in the field. 

 BANDS WILL GIVE BETTER PLANTS THAN 

 POTS." F. B. Murdoch & Co., Kingston, Pa. 



"We have used your Dirt Bands with great 

 success in forwarding vegetable and flowering 

 plants." 



C. R. Clarke, Supt. of Farming and Garden- 

 ing, Boys' Industrial School, Lancaster, 0. 



"I used your Dirt Bands for tomatoes, peppers 

 and eggplants; also for mignonette, heliotrope 

 and helichrysum. 



"I and my trade were pleased wtlh them. 



"I shall use more the coming season." 



Chas. C. Roberts, Lansdowne, Pa. 



To show the wide use of our Pots and Bands 

 by Government, State, City and Public Institu- 

 tions we might say that while we are writing this 

 advertisement (Feb. 17th) one mail. Just opened, 

 brought us orders from South Dakota Agricul- 

 tural 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 Agri- 

 culture at Cornell University, and University of 

 Michigan, Ann Arbor. 



We have probably sold 5 times as many of our 

 Square Paper Pots and Dirt Rands as all other 

 firms put together.
