BALL BANDS for Your Carnations 
Are you planting your carnation cuttings direct from the sand into 214 
Ball Better Plant Bands? 
It is a means of insuring disease- 
free plants from the field. 
At the right is a Carnation plant 
lifted from the field July 10. The cut- 
ting had been placed in the band in 
January. 

Just from the field in a 214 in. plant band. 
Notice how the roots do not become pot bound in our band. Your Carnations 
never receive a check, from the time the cutting is rooted until the band is removed 
just prior to being planted in your bench. Carnation growers all over the country are 
adopting this method. Plan to use Ball Better Bands this spring. Send for circular 
showing full line of Bands with prices.
