■ SPECIMEN PLANT GROWN IN JADOO. I 



" The illustration is from a photograph of a specimen plant of 'Miss Florence Pullman,' grown in Jadoo Fibre by William ^ 



Robertson, gardener for John W. Pepper, Esq., Jcnkintown, Pa., and shown by him at the exhibition of the Pennsylvania Horti- g 



cultural Society, November 9 to 13 last. He received first prize for it in the class calling for best specimen plant, white. The g 



plant had 84 blooms, averaging 6 inches in diameter, the specimen itself measuring about six feet through, each stem being well g 



foliaged right down to the pot." ^, 



CHRYSANTHEMUM MISS FLORENCE PULLMAN, 



Mr. Robertson gives his method of treatment as follows : 



" The cutting was struck in January and put in a 4-inch pot about the first of February. Five weeks later it was shifted into 

 a 6-inch pot ; in May being given another shift into an 8-inch pot, in pure Jadoo Fibre. Later shifts were made, in the same 

 material, and about August I the plant received its final shift into a 13-inch pot, in which it was exhibited. When the buds were 

 set I started watering with Jadoo Liquid according to directions about twice a week, gradually increasing the strength until the 

 blooms were half developed, when a little of the Liquid in a much weakened form was given. Altogether I used about half "a 

 gallon of the Liquid on the plant."
