JADOO. 



We were recently privileged to look 

 through the factory of the American 

 Jadoo Co., Philadelphia, and found the 

 process of manufacture of Jadoo very 

 interesting. Formerly all the Jadoo 

 sold here was imported from England, 

 but the American company is now 

 manufacturing, and they not only are 

 enabled to save considerable in freight 

 but get a more even quality of Jadoo. 

 Though nearly all the materials are 

 imported there is a considerable sav- 

 ing, as one ton of dry peat moss makes 

 four tons of Jadoo. 



Jadoo is made of sterilized peat moss, 

 bone meal, phosphoric acid, gypsum, 

 nitrate of soda and London soot, in 

 proportions that were determined after 

 a long series of experiments by Col. 

 Thompson, the inventor. The fertiliz- 

 ing materials are boiled into the fiber 

 of the peat moss in a huge steam ket- 

 tle and the excess moisture expressed 

 under a pressure of 60 tons. The ma- 

 terial is then allowed to ferment for 

 thirty days, and the result is Jadoo, 

 with the plant food fixed in the moss. 

 Jadoo liquid is pretty much the same 

 as that which is boiled into the peat 

 moss to make Jadoo Fiber. 



A factory is soon to be established 

 on the Pacific coast to save patrons 

 there the expense of freight across the 

 continent, the sales of Jadoo in Cali- 

 fornia and adjoining states having 

 been large and continually increasing. 

 The tobacco growers have been heavy 

 buyers of Jadoo, and trials of small 

 quantities have always been followed 

 by orders for large quantities. 



Mr. Hamburger says that while Ja- 

 doo at $27.00 a ton seems expensive it 

 is really but little more costly than 

 any good compost and is more eco- 

 nomical on account of the smaller 

 quantity needed. It would be interest- 

 ing to know what first-class potting 

 soil does cost. Can some one tell us? 

 It may be more costly than we imag- 

 ine when every item of expense is 

 considered. 



"SPHLITS." 



Herr Redacteur: I seen by de in- 

 site von your last book dot olt man
