The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



JANUARY 27, 1898. 



proportion of one part Jadoo Liquid to 



48 parts water. We conscientiously be- 

 lieve it to be the best liquid fertilizer 

 made. It is easy aud clean to handle. 

 Its composition never varies, thus 

 avoiding all possibility of mistakes in 

 its use. The next best thing to plant- 

 ing a plant in Jadoo Fibre is to water it 

 with Jadoo Liquid, and even plants in 

 Jadoo Fibre will continue far longer 

 before needing a shift if Jadoo Liquid 

 is used in watering them. 



It possesses the same good qualities 

 as Jadoo Fibre of increasing root ac- 

 tion, improving foliage and blooms, 

 and bringing the plant to a higher 

 stage of development than could be at- 

 tained by any other known means. 



Not only is it the best liquid fertili- 

 zer, but the cheapest, as reference to 

 our price list will show. When you 

 consider that one gallon will produce 



49 gallons of liquid fertilizer you can 

 readily understand the justice of our 

 claim. 



Of course, its action upon plants 

 grown in earth, while remarkable, will 

 not be so great as on plants grown in 

 Jadoo Fibre, for the reason above 

 given, that the density of earth retards 

 proper root action. At the same time, 

 the results will be astonishing to any- 

 one who has never used it before. 



These claims of ours are not merely 

 on paper. They are borne out by the 

 testimonials from which we quote, rep- 

 resenting the experience of amateurs, 

 florists, growers, and scientific men in 

 England, France, Germany, Holland, 

 Denmark, our own country, and, in 

 fact, practically every part of the civil- 

 ized world. To try Jadoo Fibre and 

 Liquid is to use them, — to use them is 

 to become their firm friend. Since May, 

 1S97, we have received testimonials 

 from all parts of the United States. 

 Jadoo Fibre and Liquid, as well as 

 plants grown in them, have been

The Pennrock Co., Wilmington, Del., 

 Winners of the largest Prize at the 

 Exhibition of Pennsylvania Horticul- 

 tural Society (November, 1897), say: 



"In regard to your inquiry about Ja- 

 doo Liquid and Fibre we beg to state 

 that we used it this last season with 

 good results. We grew our exhibition 

 plants of Chrysanthemums, which took 

 first prize- at the Pennsylvania show, 

 in soil up to ten-inch pots. In those 

 sized pots the plants became very sick 

 and all the leaves turned yellow. We 

 then shifted them into Jadoo Fibre, 

 and the result was simply wonderful. 

 The plants quickly regained lost vigor 

 and the leavec gradually assumed their 

 natin-al green color. On becoming pot- 

 bound, we used the liquid twice a week, 

 and this was all the fertilizer we used. 

 We have had excellent results also with 

 Asparagus Sprengerii, Crotons and 

 large Ferns, grown in the Fibre, and 

 shall u.se it more extensively hereaf- 

 ter." 



The following is a list of plants 

 grown in Jadoo Fibre or watered with 

 Jadoo liiquid, that were awarded prizes

Were we to say all the good things 

 that could be said about Jadoo Fibre 

 and Liquid, or were we even to reprint 

 all the good things that others have 

 said about them, we would have to use 

 space many times larger than this. We 

 can only echo the advice of the Society 

 of American Florists, — try them. As 

 the price list shows, they are not ex- 

 pensive. A small trial package means 

 a small outlay, but the returns in sat- 

 isfaction, plant health, and monetary 

 profit, — if this latter is a consideration 

 to you. — will more than repay you. We 

 have no fear of the results if you give 

 them a fair trial, — you will simply be- 

 come another of their host of friends. 



Hornellsville, N. Y., Dec. 7, 1897. 



I have seen plants on exhibition at 

 the Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and! 

 London shows, but I have yet to see 

 plants grown in geranium pots equal 

 to those of which I send photographs^ 



The plants were grown by me for 

 Mr. W. A. Wettlin, by whom I am em- 

 ployed. They were not grown for ex- 

 hibition, but merely to test the value of 

 "Jadoo," and were not given extra at- 

 tention. 



The single stem plant was struck in 

 Jadoo Fibre and flowered in a 3-inch 

 pot, — the photographer makes it ap- 

 pear a 5-inch pot; he also is, to blamie
