Banded Shrubs & Evergreens (Continued) 
They Grow! 
You Make Money! 
It’s all very simple. These plants in bands don’t have 
a “transplanting check” to overcome. They are well 
enough established so that you can set them directly 
to the field, and expect them to keep right on grow- 
ing. 
Many customers write us that every plant grows. 
Compare that with “stock from beds.” 
The grower who produces it has his troubles. He 
must get the plants dug before they start too much

growth in the Spring. That means that he must ship, 
in many cases, before you are ready. 
Too much business, or too much rain, or one of a 
hundred reasons hold you up in getting the ground 
ready. But you ordered it, so here it is. Sometimes 
the stuff has to lie around for several weeks before 
you get it planted. It’s half dead when you plant it, 
and it takes all summer to get started — if it starts. 
Not so with these banded plants. Nearly all of the 
stock we sell is delivered by our trucks; and when 
delivery is made by trucks, the plants are left right 
in the flats in which they were grown. They make 
good sturdy growth in a much shorter time, simply 
because they haven’t lost a year’s growth trying to 
overcome “transplanting shock.”
