BIRD VITA-BANDS 
Vita-Bands are nutrient-treated growing aids .. . they are 
easily set up, require very little labor and produce higher 
net profit because crops reach an earlier market and com- 
mand higher prices! 
The reasons are many. Vita-Bands are used as a growing 
aid for plants in the vital transplant stage .. . they eliminate 
rootshock, save 1 to 3 weeks setback, stimulate well-balanced 
growth — and aid moisture control! 
VITA-BAND 40 designed for long growing periods usually 
up to 40 weeks. Extra heavy construction for durability. Im- 
pregnated with balanced plant food ... your observation will 
determine need of additional feeding. We recommend re- 
moving Band when transplanting. 
VITA-BAND 10 for short growing periods. Will usually 
contain root growth up to approximately 8 to 10 weeks. Nu- 
trient-treated with quickly available plant food ... your 
judgement determines need for additional feeding. Especially 
good for annuals and vegetables.
