PlAJiT SA 
a; it 
I NTRODUCED by us last season, have re¬ 
ceived an enthusiastic and a profitable 
reception. If you are not familiar with 
them, we suggest at least a trial. Many of 
our largest greenhouse and nursery men 
are using them in 100 and 200 thousand 
lots. Clay pots are costly, easily broken, 
and young stock quickly dries out and gets 
hard in them. Not so in a Plant Band, for 
this reason: any size holds 2 to 3 times as 
much soil as a clay pot of same size, and the 
square bands set squarely together means 
uniform moisture—very important. When 
young stock for planting out is lifted from 
open soil, the check it ordinarily gets, sets 
it back and weakens it more than is gener¬ 
ally appreciated. This is overcome in using 
those Plant Bands. Note that we have de¬ 
veloped several large sizes with bottoms. 
They should be of particular interest to 
nurserymen.

No Chemical in Wood Bands to Hurt Roots 
as is Sometimes the Case With Paper 
Young Asters at West Chicago enjoying those Plant Bands. 
Note they are bottomless, an advantage in that roots that 
curl up and harden in small pots are left loose, as shown, 
to take immediate hold when set out. Bands quickly re¬ 
moved, or set out as is. To prevent rooting into lower soil, 
we use flats for growing young stock, setting bands on bot¬ 
tom; this saves handling individually when planting out. 
If soil is light, press it some in Bands before planting. If 
Bands are quite dry, they tend to split some in handling; 
soak if necessary before using. Also—^figure your wants 
early and have them sent by freight to save on delivery. 
Quantity discount of 5% is allowed on orders of 
23,000 made up of various sizes. If interested in 
larger quantities write us.
