Plant in a ify -- with JIFFY POTS 
Here is a brand new (to this country), inexpensive plant 
container which “stole the show” at our display on Field 
Day last summer. Constructed in Norway (under the name 
Huminal Pot) of 25°% wood fiber and 75% peat, Jiffy-Pots 
contain supplementary soluble fertilizers—nitrogen, phosphor- 
ous and potash. Available in 2%4- and 3-inch pots, they are 
rigid except when thoroughly soaked and will stand con- 
siderable handling and shipping abuse. 
This is an “expendable” pot—they cannot be reused. 
Roots grow through it very easily and become part of the pot 
very early in growth. We have grown bedding plants in 
3-inch Jiffies up to twelve weeks with several moves, and they 
have remained substantially intact. 
Advantages: Jiffy-Pots support phenomenal plant growth. 
Just why plants grow so well in Jiffy-Pots we are not sure. 
The soluble fertilizer contained in the pot no doubt has 
something to do with the bonus performance. They need 
less frequent waterings, as they dry out slower than other 
pots. Jiffy-Pots need not be removed when transplanting. 
Roots grow readily through the walls of the pot when the 
whole pot is plunged into the soil. They are extremely light 
for shipping—carton of 3000 214’s weighs 35 pounds. They 
are inexpensive—jn quantities the 2%4’s are about 6/10c, 
and the 3’s about lec.

Possible uses include: 
Bedding Plants. Sell the plants in Jiffy-Pots. Your bed- 
ding plant customer can plant immediately or delay planting 
for several days, then plunge plant, pot and all, into the 
soil. No transplanting check. 
For “Growing On” spring plants like Coleus, Geraniums, 
Begonias, etc., to be finished in larger pots. Jiffies need not 
be removed—disintegrate in soil. 
For handling cut flower crops in early growth stages; 
Mum and Carnation cuttings in 21%4- and 3-inch pot stage. 
Plant Shipments. Light weight, sturdy—ideal for shipping. 
Your plants will be sturdier, greener, and grow more 
rapidly if they are

BALL Veneer “PlanTrays” 
These are our popular veneer PlanTrays which bedding plant growers the country 
over have been using for growing and selling small plants for bedding. They are 
now available in three types. 
The Regular—-No. 1-R, No. 2-R and No. 3-R—of light weight veneer for the fast- 
growing plants. Each flat holds 12 plant bands. 
The X-Type—No. 2-X and 3-X—made of extra heavy veneer for longer life. For 
use where a longer growing period or a sturdier flat is required. Each flat holds 12 
plant bands. These X-Type PlanTrays can be used with or without bands. 
The S-Type—Special PlanTrays—each holding 25 plant bands. For the grower sell- 
ing small plants in quantity, this is the answer.
