Ramsburg Locking Pot 



MADE OF MANILA BOARD 



Our Manila Board Pots and Bands are perfection in style, strength, 

 and quality. They are quickly set up and, being heavy, are easily 

 filled and as easy to remove when plants are grown. They peel off 

 as readily as a banana skin. You will appreciate tiiis advantage when 

 you have tried to remove a plant from a thin paper band or from a 

 nailed-together pot. Thin paper sticks to the roots and practically be- 

 comes a part of the plant, whUe our MANILA BOARD peels off as 

 a pot should — no trouble; no cuss words. 



Scores of repeat orders prove all of the above points, plus better 

 plants. Throughout the country there are millions of plants growing 

 in our Manila Board bands and pots. On our own premises we have 

 thousands of bands in use filled with carnations, geraniums, cannas, 

 and various bedding plants. 



You can find nothing better than the Eamsburg Locking Pot, made 

 of Manila Board. We can make immediate shipments of all sizes. 

 State whether wanted by express or freight. Send postal for samples 

 and prices. 



Our bands and pots are favorites with experiment stations. Last 

 week we made shipments to four of them. The Michij^an station at 

 Ann Arbor has had three large shipments. Get your samples and join 

 with the successful growers.

under pressure unless it can be raised 

 above the boiling point. 



For a house ninety feet long we would 

 use fourteen 2-inch pipes for the re- 

 turns. For the flows three 2%-inch pipes 

 will be necessary, for good results in 

 an open-tank system. The additional 

 flow could be placed upon the plate of 

 the south wall. A 2-inch flow to the 

 store could be taken off from the main 

 which supplies the 4-pipe coil. The 

 present location of the flows supplying 

 the coils under the middle and north 

 benches need not be changed. If the 

 1 Mi-inch returns are to be retained, we 

 would use two additional pipes, placing 

 one in each of the outside coils. While 

 we prefer to run the flows downhill and 

 connect the highest point of each flow 

 with the expansion tank, we would not 

 think it worth while to make the 

 change. 



When an open-tank system is used, 

 we prefer to have the top of the boiler 

 below the lowest point in the returns. 

 This change alone would greatly in- 

 crease the efficiency of the system, but 

 it will not be satisfactory until it is 

 possible to bring the water in the boil- 

 er to the boiling point. This would also 

 be necessary before any benefit could 

 be secured by placing the system under 

 pressure. For use with a closed system 

 no change would be necessary in the 

 number or size of the flows and returns, 

 and good results could be secured with 

 the boiler as now placed. 



Monmouth, lU— The delivery auto of 

 the Monmouth Floral Co. and a pleasure 

 car met unexpectedly at a corner last 

 week. There was too much vim about 

 the flower car to mind the broadside, 

 and it proceeded on its way under its 

 own power, leaving behind a wreck. The 

 collision was entirely accidental. 



Beacon, N. Y. — Benjamin Hammond 

 has received notice that Hammond's 

 Paint & Slug Shot Works was awarded 

 a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific In- 

 ternational Exposition. Mr. Hammond 

 recently printed a cut of the gold medal 

 certificate and a history of his business 

 as an advertisement in a local news- 

 paper.

 have been using the lock style, the 

 "Climax" Band will be much ap- 

 preciated, as there is no folding or 

 hooking required. A trial will con- 

 vince you.
