Paper Pots and 

 Dirt Bands 



277% MORE BLOSSOMS 



on i^Iants raised In Square Paper Pots than 

 on plants raised In clay pots of same size. 



There were 4S0 stems of blossoms on 40 

 plants raised In 4-lnch Square Paper Pots 

 and 105 stems of blossoms on 40 plants raised 

 In 4-lnch clay pots. 



The above was taken from the following 

 report in the Market Growers' Journal Janu- 

 ary 1, 1914, page 6. 



NUMBER OP STEMS IN BLOSSOM 



When set In the field May IKth, the root 

 systems of the plants from the 4-inch square 

 paper pots were 4-Inch cubes (64 cubic inches 

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

 pots the root systems contained 31 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 plants from the square paper pots 

 were, then more than twice as large and 

 vigorous as those raised in clay pots. 



AMrplants raised -in square paper pots are 

 larger and more vigorous than those raised 

 in clay pots, because they have about double 

 root robm for the same size pots. 

 : Measure the two pots and you will find 

 that the 4-inch square paper pot holds as 

 much soil as two 4-lnch clay pots. 



It is the same with square dirt- bands, 

 which are square paper pots without bottoms 

 (the- bottoms being furnished by old news- 

 papers spread on the bench). 



The theory that it is only necessary to 

 have a big top to the plant has been proved 

 misleading. - 



There must be a big root system to push 

 the -top or the plant will grow slow and 

 ■mall. 



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.
