JADOO. 



"The American Jadoo Co., Philadel- 

 phia, Pa., sends us some literature on 

 the subject of their specialty, includ- 

 ing a report on results with Jadoo in 

 France, and Jadoo Liquid and Fibre 

 for market gardening purposes. It ap- 

 pears that some very satisfactory re- 

 sults have been obtained in France, 

 by viticulturists and others, from 

 the use of these substances. The 

 pamphlet treating on the adaptability 

 of Jadoo Fibre and Liquid for market 

 gardening purposes gives some practi- 

 cal pointers worth knowing. It is 

 averred that by the use of Jadoo Fibre 

 a gain of two weeks can be made in 

 getting truck to market. The popular- 

 ity of the Jadoo materials in other 

 lands may be learned from the sub- 

 joined extract from a letter sent us by 

 the president of the company, Mr. S. 

 Hamburger: 



" ' We have been advised that the 

 Austrian Government has ordered ten 

 tons of Jadoo Fibre for experimenting 

 in viticulture and two tons for exper- 

 imenting with tobacco. In two years 

 the trade in France has grown so large 

 that the Jadoo Company, of England, 

 has been compelled to erect a factory 

 at Bordeaux to supply the French de- 

 mand; their factory at Teignmouth, 

 with a capacity of six tons of Fibre and 

 500 gallons of liquid per day. being 

 taxed to its fullest capacity to supply 

 the English demand.' "

You ask what results we have had 

 with "Jadoo" Fibre and Liquid in con- 

 nection with Palms and Ferns. So 

 far everytliing has done better and 

 with less trouble than we have ever 

 had before. The Ferns make extraor- 

 dinary roots, as well as top growth; 

 they make longer fronds and better 

 color in "Jadoo." Palms do much bet- 

 ter in it than in soil. I have tried it on 

 rare and choice plants only. The 

 Palms in it make larger leaves and bet- 

 ter color. In all establishments where 

 stove plants are grown I would strong- 

 ly recommend "Jadoo;" it brings out 

 their true color. Everything I have 

 tried in "Jadoo" Fibre and Liquid have 

 given more than satisfactory results. I 

 would be pleased if you would ship me 

 by Morgan Line, 6 sacks of "Jadoo" 

 Fibre and 20 gallons of Liquid as soon 

 as possible, and oblige 



Yours truly,

 leans, Nov. 17th, 1896. 



I have made a thorough test of 'Ja- 

 doo Fibre" and "Liquid" this last six 

 months with plants, namely. Chry- 

 santhemums, Dracaenas, Anthuriums, 

 Marantas, Palms, etc., and all I can say 

 is I do not think there is anything on 

 the market that will give such practi- 

 cal results as "Jadoo Liquid" and ' Fi- 

 bre." 



At our Chrysanthemum Show last 

 week, I won five first prizes out of six 

 entries. These plants were all gi'own 

 with "Jadoo Liquid." 



Some of my twelve-inch specimen 

 plants were grown in "Jadoo." Most 

 of my six-inch plants were grown in 

 "Jadoo Fibre." I exhibited six large 

 specimen plants of a variety that I 

 never thought much of before until this 

 year. These six plants won the First 

 Prize with strong competition, and 

 they were pronounced to be the only 

 true pink in the exhibition. They were 

 all fed with "Jadoo Liqui.l ' orly. 



The leaves on the Anthuriums I ex- 

 hibited were all very large and a good 

 color, greatly admired; all grown in 

 "Jadoo." 



The Judges' verdict was, "Jadoo is a 

 good thing." 



Id my report to the Florists' Ex- 

 change, N. Y., I have mentioned "Jadoo 

 Fibre." I won eleven First Prizes 

 and three Second out of fourteen en- 

 tries at the show, with the aid of "Ja- 

 doo."

 Philadelphia. Pa., Nov. 30th, 1890. 

 We tried Ferns. Cyclamens, Palms 

 and Crotons in "Jadiio." We could 

 notice no better growth in the three 

 first named than when grown in our 

 ordinary compost, bnt the Crotons did 

 do surprisingly well, making very 

 large, vigorous plants in comparatively 

 small jiots. I w.'iiit to try more of it. 

 if not too expensive. What is it worth 

 by the ton?

Gentlemen:— I received the box of 

 Jadoo Fibre .von sent nie some time 

 ago. and am greatl.v pleased with it. 



I have been experimenting for some 

 .years to find a tirst-class medium in 

 which to germinate the Cupid sweet 



peas for bedding stock, but with in- 

 different success, until I tried the Ja- 

 doo Fibre, which I find to be a per- 

 fect medium. Every seed planted in 

 it germinated, and the seedlings are 

 flourishing finely. 



I have also tested it for Ferns, and 

 Palms in my house, and with the Ja- 

 doo Liquid added, they are already 

 showing a great improvement. 1 

 shall take great pleasure in recom- 

 mending the Jadoo Fibre and Liquid 

 for the above pmijoses.

New Rochelle, N. Y., May 18th, 1897. 



Messrs. Siebrecht & Son say: "We 

 have just received the last shipment 

 of 'Jadoo.' We must say without 

 doubt it is the grandest material for 

 potting Palms, Orchids and Stove 

 Plants ever introduced. We have tried 

 everything in the market and have 

 failed to find its equal. We notice the 

 difference in the growth of everything 

 — broader foliage, strong growth, and 

 of a beautiful dark green foliage."

 I tried the sample sent me of "Jadoo 

 Fibre" and "Liquid" with Tomatoes, 

 Cabbage, Pepper and Egg Plants, and 

 will say they all grew very well after 

 being transplanted and treated with 

 your "Jadoo."

Having given your Jadoo Fibre a 

 trial since the middle of May. I find it 

 answers all my expectations. My 

 Palms and Ferns are looking very well, 

 and my seedlings of Grevillea Robusta 

 are growing amazingly In it. I have 

 potted a choice lot of seedling Chry- 

 santhemums in the Fibre and they are 

 doing splendidly. The Geranium cut- 

 tings struck very quick, in fact I am 

 satisfied that it is a very good thing 

 for florists. 



Yours very respectfully,
