Carnations and 

 Violets in 



JADOO 



Allegheny, N. Y., Jan. 2i, i8qq. 

 American Jadoo Co., 817 Fairmount Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Gentlemen ; — It gives me great pleasure to recommend Jadoo Fibre 

 fur Carnation culture, and, as per your request, will give you my experience. 

 With Carnations my plants were all grown in the field up to .'August 21st, 

 when they were housed, being set in benches tilled with my regular carna- 

 tion compost. On each corner where a plant was to be set I scooped out 

 about two quarts of the soil, filling the holes with clear Jadoo, into which 

 the plants were set. The weather at the time of setting was very warm, 

 sometimes reaching 1 10 degrees. As the plants were set they were given a 

 good watering, and out of nearly 800 set in this manner I lost only seven, 

 less than one per cent., which, considering the extreme heat, was remark- 

 able. The plants were not watered again for several days, or until the soil 

 began showing signs of dryness. They have not been watered oftener than 

 once a week since, and all during the winter they have only been watered 

 every two weeks. You see this is a wonderful saving in time and labor, 

 and I am satisfied carnations could not do better than mine have. I have 

 cut numerous blooms of the Flora Hill variety which measured 3'i inches 

 in diameter, with 30-inch stems, and beautiful dark green foliage clear to 

 the ground. F>om the 800 plants which I have in Jadoo I cut up to the 20th 

 a few over 2700 blooms, and they are still one mass of buds. From indica- 

 tions they will probably average 12 to 14 blooms per plant before the 

 season closes. 



As far as the Liquid goes, cannot say much about it, as I have only just 

 commenced using it, and have not had an opportunity to note its effect. 

 Have no doubt, however, that it will be an improvement over the old way 

 of feeding. It is certainly very convenient to use, and also a great saving 

 in time. 



Am growing violets in cold frame in clear Jadoo and sand, and from 

 appearances, they will be in fine shape for Easter. Am also growing Hya- 

 cinths, Freesias, Callas, Smilax and Easter Lilies either in clear Jadoo and 

 sand or Jadoo and loam, and will say that everything growing in it looks 

 better than ever before, and all the plants, aside from Callas, are giving 

 more and larger blooms than I ever cut before. My Callas have made a 

 wonderful growth, but have not produced so many blooms as formerly. In 

 my opinion this is caused by using too large pots. Am growing them in 

 7-inch, where last season they were grown in 5-inch. 



Lip to date I have not had a failure with Jadoo which could be attrib- 

 uted to the Jadoo Fibre. My roses did not do well, but it was all on account 

 of a lack of drainage, which I am thoroughly convinced would have been 

 the same with any kind of soil. 



My experience up to date has been entirely satisfactory, and will war- 

 rant me in going still farther with it. 



Yours very truly, 



(Signed) W. L. FARQUHARSOM.
