ROCHELkE PAPER POTS AND BANDS 



PAPER POTS 



Onr Square Paper Pots are the Origliuil Im- 

 proTed DOUBIiB Bottom Square Paper Pota that 

 we bare aold for FIVB TEARS. 



Tbe7 have the best bottom of any pot on the 

 market. 



They are by far the BBST POT on the market 

 In OTery way. 



They are made with one tack. No glue. 



By ACTUAL TBST they can be made up MOBB 

 THAN TWIOB AS FAST aa 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 Pots and Square 

 Dirt Bands FAMOUS, after FIVB YBARS' TBST 

 by the U.' S. Goremment, the Canadian Oorem- 

 ment, International Bzpositlons, large numbera^f 

 State Agricultural Bzperiment Stations, 4ttty 

 Parks, Public Institutions and many thousanda 

 of Superintendents, Florists and Truckers In all 

 parts of the country and Canada. 



We sell no experiments. 



"Enclosed pleaae find a postofflce money order, 

 for which please send us 10,000 8-in. Square Paper 

 Pbts by freight to Tantic, Conn." Avery Bros., 

 Norwich Town, Conn. 



(Avery Bros, got BOOO of our 8-in. Pots In 1918, 

 6000 in 1014, 7000 in 1915, 10,000 in 1916 and 

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

 Pots.) 



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

 sice 8-in., for which I enclose check." Oeorge 

 Foulsham, Bupt., Lienoz, Mass. 



(Mr. Foulsham orders our Paper Pots regularly 

 every year and says, "We grow sweet peas and 

 all our annuals in them.")

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

 them to users everywhere. 



"Growing and shipping In same pots saves all 

 kinds of labor." The Dalles Floral Company, 



The. Dalles, Oregon. 



Gentlemen: • • • We would say that we 

 used 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 sattsned with the splendid 

 results obtained from the Paper Pots. 



In fact. WE DID NOT HAVE HALF ENOUGH 

 TO FILL OUR ORDERS. WE OHABOBD 

 EXACTLY TWICE THE AMOUNT wo did other 

 years and yet our CUSTOMERS INSISTED ON 

 HAVING THOSE IN PAPER POTS. 



In our hot sun they never wilted. 



We reserved a few for Primulas and certainly 

 have some fine ones. 



It was easier to keep them watered and growlnf 

 during the hot months. Wishing you success, 



Blackadar A Co.. 

 Dauphin Nursery and Greenhouses,' 

 Dauphin, Manitoba, Can. 



"I used five thousand of your 2-Inch Paper Pota 

 and was very pleased with them.

 Pots because they make a neat package.

 CRATES of tomatoes, which brought me $600." 

 D. B. Moses, Purchase, New York. 



"We raised vegetable plants and asters In your

 SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION 

 Dear Sirs: The Paper Pots purchased of yon 

 were for use in the Formal Gardens of the • • • 

 San Diego Exposition. 



These pots proved a grand Innovation, wherein 

 I 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 

 the manor bom. 

 The loss was simply nnobservable. 

 This covered Canterbury Bella, Asters, Llnarias, 

 Gaillardias, 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, 

 Geraniums and Ferns. 



"Thev gave very much better plants than those 

 raised in clay pots." Leafley A Meyer,

DIRT BANDS 



CREASED DIBT BANDS 



1 — Should a Dirt Band be CREASED and the 

 ENDS 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 "LOOKED" 



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 banda are filled and watered the soil 

 settles tight against the Insides and they cannot 

 be unlocked. 



TEARING the ends of the bands apart wlU 

 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 6 YBARS 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 onr Dirt Bands: "I 



believe any one using these bands will become ■ 

 regular customer" 



(He got BOOO Dirt Bands in 1018, 60.000 la tn*. 

 70,000 In 1916, 60,000 in 1916 and has joat orderM 

 60,000 for 1917.) 



Mr. J. M. Oager, Wlllimantlc, Ooan.. saya: 

 "The crop from the plants raised in your Dirt 

 Banda PAID MB THE BBST of any cro p of 

 tomatoes grown 8IN0B I HAVB BBBN IN THH 

 BUSINESS." 



(Mr. Gager has Just ordered 10,000 4-in. banda 

 for this year.) 



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

 "I am so well pleased with the Dirt Banda that 

 I DO NOT SEE HOW A MARKET QARDBNBB 

 CAN AFFORD TO GROW PLANTS WITHOUT 

 THBM." 



"I have now about 14,000 Carnation planta 

 atarted in 2-lnch Bands, which are maUns a 

 RAPID GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant la 

 transplanting from the aand. 



"I also have about 20,000 Aater planta tnuia- 

 planted in 2-lnch Bands wfilcb can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FBAB OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND aa would be the caae 

 if I used 2-inch pots. 



"I believe anyone using these banda ONOB 

 WILL BECOMB A RBOULAB CUSTOMBB." 

 Youra truly, 

 H. B. Weaver, Blrd-ln-Hand, Pa. 



"I used the Rochelle Dirt Banda for eariy 

 Tomatoea and Cucumbera with VBBY ORBAT 

 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 enenmben 

 and both aUrted picking fully 16 DAYS BEFOBH 

 THB USUAL TIME in thU section. I shaU nae 

 them more extensively this season." 



Chas. H. Weaver, Choice Fmita and 

 Vegetaldea, Dnnnvllle, Ont.. Can. 



"I find yonr Dirt Banda very good for the 

 growing of Carnation planta. 



"I am enough pleased with my one aeaaon'a 

 experience with the Dirt Banda TO CONTINUB 

 TO USE THBM BXOLUSIVBLY." 



Wm. H. Felerbend, Poughkeepaie, N. T. 



"We used your Dirt Bands for tomatoea, aatera, 

 beans, sweet com, sqnaah and melons. 



"WE GOT GOOD PLANTS." 



W. H. & W. N Gage, Oochltnate. Mase. 



"We raised tomato planta in the 6-Inch Dirt 

 Bands you shipped ns. Planta become root bound 

 quicker in clay pots and REQUIRE LONGBR 

 TO START OFF after setting in the field. 

 BANDS WILL GIVE BETTER PLANTS THAN 

 POTS." F. B. Murdoch A 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, O.
