(REG. U. S. PATENT OFF.) 

 An Elastic Cement That Expand* 

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tight with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather, 



91.25 per gallon. Why pay more? 

 Tou can't get anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 

 With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply A8beitf»i> 

 with our Liauid Putty Machine, prior 

 $2.00. With every barrel purcbasc 0' 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.

GLADIOLI FOR MEMORIAL DAY. 



I wish to ask a few (|uestions in re- 

 gard to the crojiiiing of gladioli for 

 Memorial d;iy. I have .jiisl finished 

 cntting a cro]) of mums. Can I use the 

 soil in that tiench for jilanting gladioli 

 or should it )ie enriched or dumped.'

FIRST COST THE LAST COST 



Wlien should Mrs. Francis King be 

 planted? Is there a better \ariety than 

 this for forcing? How far apart should 

 the rows be? Is there any crop I can 

 grow between now and the time for 

 planting gladioli? The bench is in my 

 carnation house. "Will bulbs from my 

 own garden be satisfactory? 



D. f'. C. -Coh,. 



The (dd mum soil will be satisfactory 

 if ,v(,u gi\i' it a dressing of shee[i ma- 

 nure or well rotted stable manure and 

 foi-k it over w(dl. For Memorial day. 

 gladioli should not be planted until the 

 end of February and, if you gniw the 

 liriniulinus \arieties, the miciille of 

 March will be early enough. Let the 

 rows run ten incdies apart ami ]ilnce 

 the bulbs from four to ti\e inches 

 ajiart in the rows. Mrs. Francis King is 

 an excellent forcer. Other good varie- 

 ties are America, Halley. Mrs. Watt. 

 Panama and Augusta. iW 110 means 

 overlook some of the handsome jirinui- 

 linus hybrids. A mixed assortment will 

 ]irove serviceable. Bulbs from your 

 garden will force w'ell, but of course 

 not so w(dl as jirepared bulbs. C. W.
