RADIUM NAKES 

 THINGS GROW 



Every florist who sells Radium 

 Brand Fertilizer (R. A. F.) can 

 add to his profits. It is in bknd^ 

 package form, easily displayed, 

 and has the greatest selling ar- 

 gument in the world back of it— 

 the fact that it has Radium 

 in it. One pound will fertilize 

 50 sq. ft., or a plot 5x10 ft. 



DIUM 



Fe n t i I i 2 e r» 



has been thoroughly tested on 

 130-acre farm, in conservatories, 

 gardens, etc. In fact, scientists 

 in Europe and Amer- 

 ica have been testing 

 the eflFect of Radium 

 upon plant life for ten 

 years. In addition to 

 its wonderful beneficial 

 eflfects, it has been dis- 

 covered that where Ra- 

 dium Brand Fertilizer 

 (R. A. F.) was used, 

 plants suffered less from 

 soil parasites, e 

 ly cutworms.

PAPER POTS AND DIRT DANDS 



Our Square Paper Dirt Bands are the 

 original of air that are on the market today. 

 AH others being sold are imitations of these 

 we advertise, and some of the imitations 

 being sold are made of cheap paper, costing 

 only about half as much as our heavy stock. 

 We sell no experiments. Ours have been 

 tried out by long use in the greenhouse. They 

 will stand up in any wet and heat as long as 

 wanted. Samples of all sizes FREE. 



"I had some of your paper pots last year. 

 I want more this year." — W. R. Wissinger, 

 Homer City, Pa. 



"We used 10,000 of your paper Dirt Bands 

 last Spring and we like them. They are just 

 the thing. Please 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 Company (700-acre gardens). 

 Chicago, 111. 



"Please ship Immediately 150,000 2-ln. Dirt 

 Bands and 20,000 3-in. Dirt Bands." — B. B. 

 Dilks, Philadelphia, Pa. 



"Could you ship me by freight at once 

 15,000 more 2-in. Dirt Bands and 5000 3-in. 

 Dirt Bands? I like them very much." — 

 H. B. Weaver, Blrd-in-Hand, Pa. (Mr. 

 Weaver grows Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet 

 Peas and Cut Flowers. He got 5000 2-In. 

 Dirt Bands In December, 40,000 In January, 

 20,000 in March last year, and we have Just 

 shipped him 70,000 more.) 



"I have now about 14,000 Carnation plants 

 started in 2-in. bands which are making a 

 RAPID GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in 

 transplanting from the sand. 



I also have about 20,000 Aster plants trans- 

 planted in 2-in. bands, which can stay there 

 till time to plant out-of-doors WITHOUT 

 PEAR 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 NEAR THE 

 AMOUNT OF ATTENTION that a pot plant 

 does, in watering, shifting, transplanting, 

 etc. 



I believe anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER." 

 — H. B. Weaver, Blrd-ln-Hand, Pa. 



"We note friend H. B. Weaver's testi- 

 monial. Coming from a man like H. B. 

 Weaver, it is WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN 

 GOLD." — James Brown, Jr., Florist, Coates- 

 vllle, Pa. 



"Tomato plants which without your Pots 

 .sell here at $1.00 per 100. raised in your 

 Pots sell at $4.00 per 100." — The Dalles 

 Floral Company, The Dalles, Oregon. 



"From about 2700 Tomato plants I picked 

 1140 MARKETABLE CRATES of Tomatoes, 

 which brought me $600."— D. B. Moses, Pur- 

 chase, N. Y. 



"Tomato plants raised In the 4-Inch size 

 sell readily at FIVE CENTS EACH."— W. J. 

 Symonds & Son, Decorab, la. 



"Your Paper Pots gave better plants than 

 rlav i)ots and sold at Double Price." — Mt. 

 Gilead Floral Co., Mt. Gilead, Ohio. 



"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 

 HEALTHIER 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, Boonville, 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, Falrmount, 111. 



"We grew Tomato plants and Chrysanthe- 

 mum 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 Green- 

 houses, 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 condition without getting 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 satisfactory and they DO 

 NOT REQUIRE THE ATTENTION THAT 

 SMALL POTS DO. We certainly like Dirt 

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



"Please ship us 200,000 2%-inch Dirt 

 Bands." — Hudson River Orchards Co., Sauger- 

 ties. New York. 



"We were well pleased with the Dirt Bands 

 we got. Our Asters are GROWING FINE in 

 them." — Koopmann Bros., Davenport, Iowa. 

 "We used the Paper Pots last year for 

 Coleus and found the plants GROW SO 

 MUCH FASTER than those in clay pots." — 

 E. P. Houston, Lowellville, Ohio. (The roots 

 of plants are pumps. They had twice as much 

 soil to pump substance from and could not 

 help grow faster.) 



"We have tried these pots and THINK 

 THEY ARE THE FINEST THING OUT."— 

 E. E. Keener, Florist and Rooted Cutting 

 Specialist, Little River. Kansas.
