 to h£lye. 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 (^coration'as well as a necessity.' The cut ijs^only one of 

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

will then go south for a few weeks. 

 The firm is making heavy shipments of 

 gladiolus, tuberose, begonia and cala- 

 dium bulbs for early planting. 



Some one has said that every success- 

 ful business man occupies his mind with 

 some study or pursuit otitside his busi- 

 ness. With Henry Van Gelder, presi- 

 dent of Percy Jones, Inc., it must be 

 European history, for he is a veritable 

 encyclopedia on the subject, particu- 

 larly with reference to things touching 

 the houses of HohenzoUern and Haps- 

 bnrg. 



A disagreeably severe cold has se- 

 cured a tenacious hold on C. L. Wash- 

 burn and leaves him little opportunity 

 to think of anything else. 



Stielow Bros. Co., of Niles Center, 

 m., is planting 10,000 Mrs. Russell rose. 



According to Paul Klingsporn, the 

 Chicago Flower Growers' Association 

 is rounding out a business year that 

 leaves no room for complaint and much 

 for satisfaction. Some of this must be 

 attributed to the personnel of the sales 

 force. 



John Sinner, of Sinner Bros., had 

 three splendid blooms of the Passion 

 flower preserved in separate jars of 

 alcohol on exhibition in his salesroom 

 last week. The flowers, which were 



frown in the greenhouses of Sinner 

 ros., are intended for a friend's pri- 

 vate collection. 



Fifty-six years will have rolled over 

 the head of Willis N. Rudd March 30. 

 They have whitened it somewhat. 



Harry C. Eowe, who felt sufficiently 

 recovered from- the grip to be at the 

 store a few days ago, has been com- 

 pelled to give it up and go home again 

 for two or three days. 



Desiring to devote all of his time and 

 energy to his recently remodeled store 

 at 106 South Wabash avenue, Nicholas 

 Speropulos will, in the near future, 

 close his old stand at 112 South Wa- 

 bash avenue, where for years he has 

 conducted business as the Wabash 

 Flower Market. * 



Boy D. Tyler, C. E., joined the staff

 F. W. Rochelle & Sons, 



Chester, N. J. "^ 



Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state 

 that I planted seedling stock plants and snap- 

 dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I 

 received from you early in January. 



We took some of these out and planted them 

 where they are to remain about the IStb of 

 February. They made a GOOD GROWTH while 

 In the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they 

 had never been moved at all. 



I have now about 14,000 carnation plants 

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

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant- 

 ing from the sand. 



I also have abnut 20,000 aster plants trans- 

 planted in 2-ln. l<auds which can stay there till 

 time to plant cut of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case 

 if I uned 2in. pots. 



Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND 

 enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS, 

 and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT 

 OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does. In water- 

 ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. 



I make my bands and set them In flats, as I 

 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 before setting them In 

 the field. 



One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER 

 TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants In the 

 field 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 AWAT A LOT OF POTS. 



I believe anyone using these bands 0N(7B 

 WILL BBCOMB A REOm.AR CUSTOMER. 

 Toon truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



Mr. Weaver has bought the following lots of 

 Dirt Bands from us: 



Dec, 1913 6,000 Jan., 1015 70,000 



Tan.. 1914 40i)00 Mar., 1915 20,000 



Mar., 1914 20,000 



If he was not getting better plants from them 

 than from clay pots he woold not continue to aae 

 them so largely.
