Tl CLIPS 



The method of support for 

 Carnation Plants is either a great 

 expense (if ring or patent sup- 

 ports are used), or if the string 

 with twine method is adopted, it 

 becomes a long, thankless job, to 

 be done over and over each sea- 

 son. Here is a simple device 

 that will remedy both expense 

 and labor. 



Directions for the use of Fisher Clips 



Stretch No. 18 galvanized wire the length of the bench between each row 

 of carnations, but let the two outside wires over the sides of the bench be of 

 No. 10 galvanized wire. Out No. 18 galvanized wire into lengths the width 

 of your bench and on each end fasten a Fisher Clip. Two men then can walk 

 along each side of the bench and clip the cross wires on the No. 10 side wire 

 with the Fisher Clip just as fast, almost, as they can walk. It is understood, 

 of course, that each cross wire is put between each row of carnations, thus 

 forming in connection with the length wires a square frame or square support 

 for each plant. As the plants grow and need more support a second and even 

 a third set of wire stringers are run in the same manner. When your plants 

 are ready to throw out, just unclip your cross wires and bundle away for use 

 the next season. 



The Fisher Clip is easily fastened to the side wires, literally with a "grip 

 of steel;" they will not slide, but are warranted to hold ju.st where they are 

 clipped in place. They are made of heavy sheet steel and are copper plated to 

 prevent rusting, and are time savers, for two men working with these clips 

 can string or support as many carnation plants in an hour as it takes two 

 men in five hours using the old white cotton stringing method. Also consider 

 these clips in the light of an investment ; once purchased they will last as long 

 as you grow carnations. ' 



COST OF THIS METHOD 



Calculation based on a bench 100 feet long, 6 feet wide, planted to car- 

 nations, consiflting of 6 rows with 120 plants to a row. This means 



600 ft. of No. 18 gal. wire, for length wires, 3K lbs. at 5j^c per lb $0.20 



200 ft. of No. 10 gal. wire, for side length wire, 10 lbs. at 3Mc per lb 36 



600 ft. of No. 18 gal. wire, for cross wire, 4 lbs. at 5 J^c per lb 22 



240 Fisher Clips, 2 for each row, one on each side of bench, $6 per 1000. . 1.20 



Total $1.97 



As three sets of wires and cross supports are used, the total cost of the 

 supports will not be over $6.00, furnishing ample support for 720 

 carnation plants, on a bench 100 feet long by 5 feet wide, and there will be no 

 additional cost to you next year, 



COMPARISON 



A three ring wire support costs about $32.00 per 1000, and will support 2000 

 plants, or $1.60 i^er lOu plants; one bench has 720 plants, coating $11.50 for 

 this style of support against a cost of only $6.00 by the use of the Fisher Clip. 



Your saving will be 50% in cost and by using the Fisher Clip your plants 

 will be better supported. 



Try a Few and be Convinced. 

 60c per lOO; $5.00 per IOOO.
