LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
BAMBOO STAKES 
* 
For staking and tying tall lilies and other plants we have found nothing better 
than pencil thick bamboo stakes and raffia. The stakes are light and strong and 
are flexible enough to bend slightly in strong winds, eliminating the danger of 
breaking the plant stems. Raffia is an excellent tying material as it will not 
chafe or injure the stems. We list green dyed stakes and raffia which are quite 
inconspicuous in the garden.

SPRUCE PLANT BANDS 
For the handling of seedlings of lilies and other plants we are offering these 
new spruce veneer plant bands which we have found far superior to clay pots or 
flats. These plant bands have many advantages, they are inexpensive and do 
not break, hold more soil than an equal size pot (a 2-inch plant band holds 2 Vz 
times more soil than a 2-inch pot), use less space, are bottomless which leaves 
the foots free to take immediate hold in new soil and require less watering as the 
only evaporation is from the top of the band. The band may be easily removed 
when the plant is to be set out by slitting one corner with a sharp knife when 
plant, soil and all will be kept intact. In this way seedlings are not checked or 
damaged as is very easily done when transplanted directly from flats or seed 
beds to the open soil. We have found the l 3 /4-inch and 2-inch sizes especially 
good for small lilies as well as other seedling annual and perennial plants.
