Banded Shrubs & Evergreens (Continued) 
Some nurserymen prefer to remove the plantbands 
when planting. There may be advantages. Most of 
our customers tell us they plant band and all. How- 
ever, we prepare the bands in the flats so that the 
band locks all “face” in the same direction. Thus, if 
you do decide to remove the bands in planting, you 
need only turn the whole flat until the first band 
comes out “faced” down the row, and all others in 
that flat will be the same. That helps speed up the 
removal of the bands. 
One question that has always bothered us was 
whether or not these banded plants would work well 
with a planter. We don’t have one, and could not be 
sure. But some of our largest customers tell us that 
these banded plants work perfectly through a 
planter. 
Visiting nurserymen who use them in quantities of 
several hundreds to several hundreds of thousands, 
each tell us of new, original ideas they have success- 
fully appled in planting these plants in bands. 
They’re so simply and easily handled that they will 
do a better job for you, too.
