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 D contains root growth until grower chooses 
to let root through Band. Only quick, slight pressure is 
needed to crack Band. Then Band disintegrates in the soil 
permitting free growth of roots from time of transplant. 
Nutrient-treated with quickly available plant food. 
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. 
VITA-BAND “D” and VITA-BAND 10 are packed 2,000 to the case, except sizes 3” x 3”,
