BALL Better 
again available in quantity! 
A better buy because— 
Aeration and Drainage better—Our own trials, and reports of experi- 
enced growers everywhere, favor wood over waterproof paper for all-impor- 
tant drainage and aeration. 
Long Life—Ball Bands are preservative-treated. Our treated Bands last 
many months in moist soil. Only select grades of veneer used. 
Ready to use—Bands reach you double stapled; simply open and plant. 
Flats! Short of flats these days? Ball Better Bands reach you packed in 
preservative-treated greenhouse flats (2 flats per unit of 2000 bands). These 
flats would cost you plenty delivered and assembled. Figure this when com- 
paring prices. 

Carnation Rooted Cuttings—leave on till benching (214x2'% 
or 214x3). 
Spring vegetable sales— Tomatoes, Cabbage, Peppers, Lettuce, 
in sizes 2x2 up to 4x4. 
Mum cuttings—insurance against transplanting checks (24x 
21% or 214x3). 
Petunias, Asters, Snaps, Marigolds, etc. in place of 214" pots. 
Perennial plants—utilize long lasting quality of Ball Bands. 
Also for carrying over in frames. 
Nursery Stock. No transplanting losses. Large sizes available 
for this purpose with or without bottoms, write for prices on 
these.
