"I had some of your paper pots last year. 1 

 want more this year." — W. B. Wisslnger, 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 60,000."— S. K. Green Co., Paris, 111. "Ten 

 thousand paper pots came duly to hand. We are 

 Inclosing check for 15,000 more. Kindly rush 

 them out as before." — L. A. Budlong Company

 immediately 150.000 2-in. dirt bands and 20,000 

 3-ln. dirt bands."-— P. B. Dllks, Philadelphia, Pa. 

 "(3ould you ship me by freight at once 18.000 more 

 2 in. Dirt Bands and 5000 3-ln. Dirt Bands? I like 

 them very much."— H. B. Weaver, BIrd-in-Hand, Pa. 

 (Mr. Weaver grows Carnations, Mignonettes, Sweet 

 Peas and Out Flowers. He got 50CO 2-ln. Dirt Bands 

 in December and 40,000 In January.)

 F. W. Rochelle & Sons. 



Gentlemen: — In reply to your query would 

 state that I planted seedling stock plants and 

 snapdragon cuttings in the first lot of bands tbat 

 I received from you early in January. We took 

 wome of them 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 never been 

 moved at all. 



I have now about 14,000 carnation plants 

 started In 2-lnch bands, which are making a 

 rapid growth, scarcely losing a plant in trans- 

 planting from the sand. 



I also have about 20,000 aster plants trans- 

 plante<I in 2-in. bands, which can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors without fear of be- 

 coming root bound, as would be the case if I used 

 2-ln. pots. Plants seldom become root bound 

 enough to injure them In the dirt bands, and do 

 not require near the amount of attention that 

 n pot plant does, in watering, shifting, trans- 

 planting, 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 plants in the field from these bands and 

 Hats than he can from pots, and after he is 

 through he does not have the bother with gather- 

 ing up, cleaning and storing away a lot of pots. 

 I believe anyone using the bands once will 

 become a regular customer. 



Yours truly. H. B. Weaver.
