 want more this year." — W. B. Wlsslnger, Homer 

 City, Pa. 



■'We used 10,000 of your paper Dirt Bands last 

 Spring and we like them. They are Just the thing, 

 pioase give us prices on 40,000 or 50.000." — S. 

 K. Green Co., Paris, 111. 



•'Ten thousand paper pots came duly to hand. 

 We are enclosing check for 15,000 more. Kindly 

 rush them out as before." — L. A. Budlong Com-

 Blinds and 20,000 3-in. dirt bands."— B. B. DUks, 

 pi'iladelphla. Pa.

 ITY of the material in your Paper Pots com- 

 mends them to users everywhere. Tomato plants 

 wiich without your Pots sell here at $1.00 

 per 100, raised in your Pots sell at 14.00 per 100."

 r( ;idily at FIVE CENTS EACH."— \V. J. Symonds 

 & Son, Decorah, la.

 yi'ung roses, which are doing fine." — Casa de 

 Fibres Greenhouses, Corpus Clirlsti, Tex. 



"BANDS WILL GIVE BETTER PLANTS 

 THAN POTS." (Clay Pots.)— F. B. Murdock & 

 Co., Kingston, Pa. 



"We got BETTER PLANTS, BIGGER PLANTS 

 AND PLANTS WHICH WERE HKALTHIEK 

 AND MORE VIGOROUS THAN IN CLAY POTS." 

 — Wm. Schruers, Gardener, Oil City, Pa. 



"We find that WATERING ALONE SAVES 

 TIME ENOUGH TO PAY OVER CLAY POTS, 

 and with proper handling there is NO QUESTION 

 BUT A BETTER PLANT CAN BE GROWN."— 

 H. Russell & Son, Market Gardeners, Boonvllle, 

 New York. 



"I find them SUPERIOR TO EARTHEN POTS 

 IN EVERY CASE, requiring about half the water 

 —at least that Is the case after the sun gets 

 well back and very drying." — W. L. Leeka, Fair- 

 mount, 111.

 plants in your Dirt Bands last year and they 

 proved VERY SATISFACTORY AND CHEAP, A 

 GREAT SAVING OVER CLAY POTS."— L. M. 

 Smith & Co., Laurel Greenhouses, Laurel, Del. 



"They do not dry out as fast as clay pots and 

 MAKE BETTER PLANTS in the same length of 

 time. They hold the plants longer in fine condi- 

 tion without gettiug yellow than clay pots. They 

 are also better for shipping plants, as they are 

 light and pack better than clay pots." — Evan R. 

 Miller, Florist, Brldgeton, N. J. 



"All worked very satisfactorily and they DO 

 NOT REQUIRE THE ATTENTION THAT 

 SMALL POTS DO. We certainly like Dirt 

 Bands." — Relmers Bros., Rapid City. S. D.

 matoes grown SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN THE 

 BUSINESS."— J. M. Gage, Market Gardener, Wll-

 TIME in this section."— Chas. H. Weaver (Choice 

 Fruit and Vegetables), Dunnvllle. Ont., Can. 



"I used your Dirt Bands for tomatoes, peppers 

 and eggplants — also for mignonette, heliotrope 

 luid helichrysum. I AND MY TRADE WERE 

 IT.EASED WITH THEM. I shall use more the 

 'oming season." — Chas. C. Roberts, Lansdowne, 

 Pa.

 had tomatoes the FIRST OF JUNE, and the only 

 tomatoes in Kay Co., Okla., this year, DUE EN- 

 TIRELY to using your Dirt Bands and getting 

 tliem out early." — Nichols & Son, Market (iarden-

 "There is abundance and famine, prosperity and 



ailverslty. What the first mentioned is to the 

 litter so are Square Paper I'ots to the clay va- 

 'if'ty. The better results obtainable and the 

 ADVANTAGES OVER THE CLAY POTS are due 

 '" the fact of their shape allowing tiie roots to 

 ''lear out. Instead of becoming cramped. They 

 a e a good thing for the grower." — George F. 

 H.-aybon, Kent, 0.
