The Forcing Bed. 



To raise uniform, strong and healtliy 

 plants for transplanting, the bed 

 should be prepared with finely divided, 

 moist Jadoo Fibre evenly distributed 

 and packed to the depth of about an 

 inch or more, according to the nature 

 of the plant. 



If the seed is small, sow evenly and 

 not too thick, after which water it free- 

 ly, to wash the seeds well down into 

 the Jadoo. 



Largfe Seeds 



May be sown in the Jadoo either over 

 the surface or in drills, and given a 

 thin covering of Jadoo, well watered 

 afterwards. 



Asparagus From Seed. 



Sow into a thick bed of Jadoo Fibre. 

 cover with earth so that the Jadoo 

 Fibre may not come within four inches 

 of the surface. Asparagus will come to 

 full bearing one year sooner in Jadoo 

 Fibre than if the bed is made in the 

 ordinary way, and will give a much 

 larger yield. 



Experience will soon show which 

 plants to grow in pure Jadoo Fibre 

 and which in Jadoo Fibre with loam 

 mixed; also the quantity to be used 

 and method of use. The chief point is 

 to have a small quantity of Jadoo Fi- 

 bre about the roots and covered with 

 earth. When the fruit or vegetable is 

 maturing, it is not amiss to water with 

 Jadoo Liquid, diluted, forty-eight parts 

 water to one part Liquid, gradually in- 

 creasing the strength to twenty-four to 

 one. 



Cucumbers, Melons, Canteloupes, 

 Gtrons, Etc 



Use half Fibre and half loam in the 



hoies or drills and cover the seeds 

 with it. When well rooted, use Jadoo 

 Liquid, at first diluted forty-eight parts 

 water to one part Liquid and gradual- 

 ly increase the strength as the plants 

 are "set" with fruit to twenty-four to 

 one. 



Mustard, Cress, Etc. 



Sow in pure Jadoo and it will come 

 up perfectly clean with no dirt adher- 

 ing to the leaves. 



Transplanting. Where Plants are 

 Large, 



They can be taken up with a ball of 

 Jadoo attached to the roots. To this is 

 added a small handful of Jadoo firmly 

 packed about the roots in the hole and 

 covered with earth. This will feed the 

 plant through the strong root action it 

 produces, will prevent flagging after 

 transplanting, and will retain moisture 

 during the long drought. 



Celery. 



Sow in frames in Jadoo Fibre; when 

 planting out, put Jadoo Fibre at bot- 

 tom of trench; this greatly improves 

 clearness of skin and flavor. 



When Plants are Very Small 



Like Lettuce, the Jadoo should be 

 mixed with loam, into which the roots 

 can be pressed with the thumb and 

 covered. 



Fruit Trees, Gtape Vines, Etc. 



Imbed the roots well in Jadoo and 

 fill in with earth. This will enormous- 

 ly increase the fibrous roots on which 

 the fertility of the tree or vine mainly 



depends. Mildew in grapevines is due 

 to drying out about the roots. Jadoo 

 will prevent it. 



Fruit Trees in Pots. 



Every species of fruit tree will give a 

 large return of fruit if grown in mod- 

 erate-sized pots in "Jadoo" Fibre, and 

 will require no feeding first year; after- 

 wards, use moderate amount of "Ja- 

 doo" Liquid, but not till the fruit is 

 set. In the case of Peaches and Nec- 

 tarines, keep them in a sheltered place 

 till the cold winds are over — covered, 

 if possible, with an old light — then 

 move to the sunniest part of the gar- 

 den. The lightness of "Jadoo" Fibre 

 makes this practicable. 



Raspberries, Blackberries, Currants, 



Etc., are treated in the same way. 



Strawberries 



Can be propagated as follows: Where 

 it is desired to put a plant, stamp a 

 hole in the earth with some tool that 

 will shape it something like a three- 

 inch flowerpot. Pack this hole full of 

 Jadoo and train a runner from parent 

 plant into it. It will take root and forra 

 a new and prolific plant. 



Strawberries in Pots. 



Root the runners in "Jadoo" Fibre; 

 make the first shift in half "Jadoo" 

 Fibre, half loam; afterwards use loam 

 entirely. Flavor will be greatly im- 

 proved by this, and even if the use of 

 "Jadoo" Fibre is confined to rooting 

 the runners only in it, a much stronger 

 crown will be formed than if the run- 

 ners are rooted in the usual way in 

 earth.
