ABOUT JADOO. 



At tlie recent exnibition in New Or- 

 leans Mr. Harry Papworth wciii nine- 

 teen first prizes and two seconil prizes 

 "With plants grown in .Tadoo filter and 

 Avatered with Jadoo liquid. His palms, 

 ferns, orotons and dracaenas were es- 

 pecially fine. Mr. Papworth is a firm 

 belieyer in Jadoo. 



Referring to his experience. Mr. W. 

 N. Craig. Taunton, Mass., says: "We 

 have tried ferns, pandanus. crotons, 

 dracaenas. cypripediums and some 

 other plants in pure Jadoo. and all are 

 doing finely. For seed growing when 

 finely sifted, it is admirable; the seeds 

 gei-minate more quickly than in ordi- 

 nary composts, there is no trouble with 

 green scum or weeds, and far less dan- 

 ger of the soil becoming dry. We have 

 noticed disparaging remarks on Jadoo 

 from some growers who have used it, 

 but our experience runs in an entirely 

 opposite direction." 



Wm. Robertson, gardener to J. W. 

 Pepper, Jenkintown, Pa., says: "Of 

 course. Jadoo is a new thing, and I had 

 to learn how to use it to get good re- 

 sults. I would say that strong feeders 

 after having been in Jadoo for some 

 time require an application of Jadoo 

 Liquid occasionally to restore plant 

 food used up. In some cases I use 

 pure Jadoo. and in others I mix loam 

 with it. It those that use Jadoo want 

 the best results attainable with any 

 compost, my advice to them is to pack 

 the material as firmly as possible 

 about the roots, and use good judg- 

 ment in watering so as not to overdo 

 it." 



Alex. McLellan, the well known gar- 

 dener of Newport. R. I., writes: "I be- 

 lieve Jadoo is of great value, if used 

 intelligently. Among the plants that 

 I have found to do well in it are those 

 having fleshy roots, such as alpinias. 

 hedychiums. cannas. anthuiiums. and 

 among the ferns the nephrolepis do 

 well. Adiantums I find do well in a 

 compost composed of two parts fibrous 

 loam to one part of Jadoo. In fact, 

 that will answer for most stove and 

 greenhouse plants. In preparing the 

 Jadoo it should be rubbed through a 

 sieve of one-half inch mesh, so that it 

 may be thoroughly incorporated with 

 the soil. A batch of dracaenas (cordy- 

 lines). potted off about the first of Oc- 

 tober, IMIT, one-half of the plants in 

 ordinary potting soil which had been 

 composted with cow manure and bone 

 meal, the other half into Jadoo Fibre, 

 using half a size smaller pots, both 

 lots having been stood side by side 

 and watered only with clear water, to- 

 day, April (1th. it is found that those 

 grown in Jadoo Fibre are not only 

 larger, but of a better color, with a 

 further advantage of being in a small- 

 er pot, which is a great advantage 

 when small vases are to be filled."
