BALL BETTER 
PLACING THE BANDS 
A putty knife is the easiest 
way to open these bands. 
Give the bands a light spray 
with water before opening. 
The long fibered spruce used 
in these bands prevents 
breaking at the folds. 
Disease-free, Ball Bands 
do not contain materials 
injurious to plant life. 

FILLING THE BANDS 
The same method may be 
used whether your bands 
are in flats or placed in en- 
tire bench. Larger sizes 
available with bottoms to 
prevent loss of soil in mov- 
ing. This arrangement of 
bands assures more uniform 
moisture supply for your 
seedlings. 

REMOVING THE BANDS 
An upward stroke along the 
fold with a sharp knife quick- 
ly removes the bands. Some 
growers leave plants right 
in bands. The extra soil— 
24% times that of the same 
size clay pot—makes it un- 
necessary to shift your plants. 
FOR YOUR EVERY 
NEED... 
More profitable plant sales 
The time and labor involved in digging plants for 
your customers plus the damage done to plants and 
the resulting customer dissatisfaction reduce profits 
from vegetable plant sales. 
Use Ball Plant Bands this spring and increase your 
profits. Since the plants are easily and quickly re- 
moved from the flats, it takes less time and trouble to 
wait on your customers. The roots are not disturbed, 
either, and the plants grow on to your customers’ 
satisfaction, producing an earlier and much better crop.
