Paper Pots and 

 -mn Bands 



277^ MORE BLOSSOMS 



on plants raised in Square Paper Pots than 

 on plants raised in clay pots of same size. 



There werj* 460 stems ot blossoms on 40 

 plants raiseop in 4-incb Square Paper Pots 

 and 106 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised 

 In 4-lnch clay pots. 



The above was talc^nt'from the following 

 report in the Marlcet Growers' Journal Janu- 

 ary 1, 1914, page 0. 



NUMBER OF STEMS IN BLOSSOM 



When set in the field May 16th, the root 

 systems of the plants from the 4-lnch square 

 paper pots were 4-inch cubes (64 cubic inches 

 of soil and roots) and from the 4-inch clay 

 pots -Uie K>o« systews contained 81 cubic 

 inches of soil and roots (the amount that 

 a 4-inch clay pot holds). 



The third count of blossoms was made 

 June 27th, 42 days after the plants had 

 been set in the field. 



The plaQts from the square paper pots 

 were then more than twice as large and 

 vigorous as those raised in clay pots. 



All plants raised in square paper pots are 

 larger and more vigorous than those raised 

 in clay pots, because they have about double 

 root room for the same size pots. 



Measure the two pots and you will find 

 that the 4-lnch square paper pot holds as 

 much soil as two 4-inch clay pots. 



It is the same with square dirt bands, 

 which are square paper pots without bottoms 

 (the bottoms being furnished by old news- 

 papera^apread on the bench). 



The" theory that it is only necessary to 

 have a big lop to the plant has been proved 

 misleading. 



Thera must be a big root system to push 

 the to> or the plant will grow slow and 

 small. 



Try some square paper pots or dirt bands 

 with your clay pots and see if you can 

 afford to use any clay pots. 



Some of the florists around Philadelphia 

 are using large numbers of square dirt bands 

 and paper pots.

 Brldesburg, Phlla., Pa., 160,000 2-lnch square

Don't Have a Fire in 

 Your Boiler Room 



It means a big loss to have the heating plant put out of business 



at this time of year. 



Fire Proof Boiler Rooms 



can be erected easily by any handy man at comparatively small 

 expense if you use 



Kiaflf Iron Frame Constrnotioa 



covered with Asbestos Protected Metal or Sheet Iron. The main 

 framing members, posts, rafters and purlins are of steel tubing, and 

 assembled by means of joint fittings of malleable castings. Any man 

 can put it up as it comes fitted ready to go together. 



The buildings are standard, and parts are carried in stock, so we 

 can guarantee prompt deliveries. The saving in fire insurance alone 

 soon pays for the building. 



Write for Bulletin No. 45, and 

 protect yourself against fire.
