JADOC. 



That the Jadoo Fibre and Jadoo 

 Liquid are worthy a trial by every 

 grower of plants and flowers there can 

 be no further doubt, in view of the ex- 

 perience of some of the most practical 

 men in the trade. Anything so radical 

 as a substitute for soil was naturally 

 received cautiously, but the "proof of 

 the pudding is in the eating," and this 

 proof has been given by a sufficient 

 number of growers to warrant the 

 claims made for it. In the growing of 

 pot plants the fibre has proven espe- 

 cially useful, and in view of the in- 

 creasing demand for spficimen flower- 

 ing plants in pots, it will undoubtedly 

 be very helpful. As noted by Mr. Her- 

 rington in our last issue, the fibre not 

 only produces a finely flowered plant, 

 but this plant can be grown in a very 

 much smaller pot when the Jadoo fibre 

 is used, and that this is a very decid- 

 ed advantage is indisputable. The Ja- 

 doo Liquid can be applied to soil if de- 

 sired, and the same stimulating effect 

 on growth and bloom be obtained, but 

 of course there is no reduction in size 

 of pot or weight of contents. It cer- 

 tainly is, however, a remarkable fer- 

 tilizer. 



Both the Jadoo Fibre and Jadoo 

 Liquid have been used in England for 

 several years. It is now being intro- 

 duced to American horticulturists by 

 the American Jadoo Co., 817 Fair- 

 mount Ave., Philadelphia, Pa 



A SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY. 



The annual catalogue of the old es- 

 tablished and always up to date house 

 of H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia, is always 

 very welcome to the gardener and flor- 

 ist, and this year it is of special in- 

 terest. In addition to a specially hand- 

 some catalogue, they issue an elabor- 

 ately Illustrated souvenir of their 60th 

 anniversary. A most interesting en- 

 graving gives a view of Chestnut St., 

 Philadelphia, showing the location of 

 the original store 60 years ago. This 

 glimpse of the olden time can not fail 

 l*?ew«° f^/r'' *"'<^'-<^st. There are also 



flempV"- ^- °''*'*^'' ^°^' ^'^ °f t'le gen- 

 tlemen associated with him, and a su- 

 peib photographic view of the green- 

 houses and grounds at Riverton N J 

 m addition to other illustrations and 

 interesting historical matter. 



PEORIA, ILL. ' 



At a recent reception of the Women's 

 club, the decorations were unusually 

 elaborate and effective. They were all 

 in green and red, consisting mainly of 

 banks of decorative plants, draping's of 

 wild smilax, and poinsettias and Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses. The Peoria Even- 

 ing Times pronounces the decorations 

 the handsomest ever seen at this club. 

 They were arranged by Mr. Chas. Lov- 

 eridge, manager for J. C. Murray.
