from clay pots must be knocked out and placed in 
paper pots. Expense is eliminated. 
3. Plants in bands arrive in good order because the 
bands hold them firmly together; being cubical in 
shape, they pack well. Potted plants, shifted to paper 
pots, pack loosely, and take a beating in transit. Losses 
are prevented. 
4, Plants in bands have nearly twice as much soil 
about the roots as does the usual 244” pot. They will 
ship farther, and still remain in moist condition. More 
losses prevented. 
5. Plants in bands transplant better, because of the 
large amount of soil about the roots. It holds moist- 
ure longer, insuring better stands. 
6. If plants in bands arrive at an inconvenient time, 
they can be set up in flats and left for indefinite per- 
iods before being planted. Plants from small clay pots 
must either be repotted or planted at once. 
7. Banded plants handle easily and quickly in the 
field. No pots to haul out, gather, and wash. It costs 
less to plant them. 
Such of these savings and eliminations of expense as 
can be made here are passed on to you in the form 
of lower prices.
