A counter refrigerator is something that you ought 

 to have. In it stock can be displayed to the best 

 advantage, and yet the most delicate blooms are kept in perfect condi- 

 tion. It is a decoration as well as a necessity. The cut is only one of 

 several designs, and we are prepared to make special drawings if required. Write for catalogfue.

 present. 



Various Notes. 



The retail Florists' Association's ban- 

 quet, held at the Washington hotel, 

 March 8, was not a big success in point 

 of attendance, but socially it was a 

 nice affair. Many of the retailers, who 

 had promised to attend and join the 

 association, failed to live up to their 

 promises. The regular monthly meet- 

 ing took place March 15, at the Wash- 

 ington hotel. 



The members of the Lady Florists' 

 Home Circle say they spent a most 

 pleasant afternoon, March 10, at the 

 home of Mrs. C. Bergstermann, 3117 

 South Grand avenue. The next meet- 

 ing will be at the home of Mrs. J. J. 

 Beneke, 3648 Humphrey street, April 

 14. 



John T. Milliken, of Crescent, Mo., 

 is said to have sold his holdings in 

 the Golden Cycle mine, at Colorado 

 Springs, Colo., for $4,500,000 last week. 

 Mr. Milliken will put up several new 

 greenhouses this summer. His desire

 F. W. Rochelle & Smis, 



Chester, N. J. 



Gentlemen : In reply to your query would state 

 that I planted seedling stoclc plants and snap- 

 dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that 1 

 received from you early In January. 



We took some of these out and planted them 

 where they are to remain about the 15th of 

 February. They made a GOOD GROWTH while- 

 in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they 

 had neyer been moved at all. 



I have now about 14.000 carnation plant* 

 started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID- 

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant In transplant- 

 ing from the sand. 



I also have about 20,000 aster plants trans- 

 planted in 2-ln. bands which can stay thorp till 

 time to plant ont of doors WITHOUT FEAH OP 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case 

 If I used 2-In. pots. 



Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND 

 enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS, 

 and DO NOT REQUIRE NBIAR THE AMOUNT 

 OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does. In water- 

 ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. 



1 make my bands and set them in flats, as 1 

 make them up, each flat holding 117. 



When we get crowded indoors it takes but a 

 short time to move the flats to a cold frame, 

 where we harden them off l)€fore setting them !» 

 the fleld. 



One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER 

 TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants In the 

 fleld from these bands and flats than he can from 

 pots, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE 

 THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN- 

 ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS. 



I believe anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER. 

 Yours truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



Mr. Weaver has bought the following lots of 

 Dirt Bands from us: 



Dec, 1013 60.000 Jan., 1915 70.000 



Tan.. 1914 40,000 Mar., 1915 20,000 



Mar., 1914 20,000 



If he was not getting better plants from them 

 than from clay pots be would not continue to use 

 them so largely. 



See our 2 page advertisement, pages 30 and 31.
