and do the field planting. And “bed liners” don’t 
plant fast. Even potted plants go faster. 
Your banded plants can be left right in the flats until 
you have your sales work and digging out of the way. 
Then, take the flats of banded plants to the field, set 
the plants in the furrows, fill back and firm, and the 
job is done. 
Banded plants will easily save you half or more of 
your planting costs. 
So you see, your banded plants are not only lower in 
original cost, but they also save still more money for 
you after you get them. 
Bell Nurseries of North Haven, Conn. grew this specimen 
Rhododendron from our 2” banded liners planted in °51. Photo 
does not do piant justice. It is covered with bloom buds. They 
have 499 more of them, just as good. Little fellow on left is 
banded liner from our present stock.
