ASPARAGUS SPRENGERII. 



The plant of Asparagus Sprengerii shown in the accompanying picture is the one which took first prize at the recent Chrys- 

 anthemum Show of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. The plant was only in a six-inch pot last spring, and during the 

 month of June got a sfiift into an eight-inch pot. The potting soil up to this shift was rotted sod and manure with some sand in 

 proper proportions. Shifting into a ten-inch pot, half Jadoo and half soil was used, and for the final shift pure Jadoo. The plant 

 was watered a few times with the Jadoo Liquid 48 to I , and grew quickly and strongly. No special care was exercised in its 

 culture : in fact, a good many of the long sprays were cut for decorative greens. 



ASPARAGUS SPRENGERII. 



In potting Asparagus Sprengerii we do not ram the soil so tight as for palms, etc., believing that only a medium tight potting 

 allows the large corms and fibrous roots more room to develop properly. We have faith in the future of Jadoo Fibre and Liquid 

 but they must be us^d with intelligence and common sense.
