Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state 

 that 1 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 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-in. bands which are making a RAPID 

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant In transplant- 

 ing 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 FEAR OP 

 BECOMING 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 a pot plant does, in water- 

 ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. 



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

 make them lip. each flat holding 117. 



When we get crowded Indoors it takes but n 

 short time to move the flats to a cold frame, 

 where we harden them oft 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 l\e can from 

 pots, and after he Is through DOES NOT HAVE 

 THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP. CLEAN- 

 ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS. 



I believe anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER. 

 Yours truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



Mr. Weaver ordered 5000 Dirt Bands In Decem- 

 ber, 40,000 In January, and 20,000 in March. 



Samples, postage paid. Prompt shipment.
