He Says: 



"The best thing that ever 

 came out for greenhouses 



» 



Federal Elastic Cement is not a new product — it had been 

 used for years for waterproofing and airproofing before Florists 

 found it and called our attention to its special value for green- 

 nouse glazing, particularly for tightening the roofs of old houses. 1 1 



B, L. Elliott, proprietor of the John Bader Co., 

 Pittsburgh's largest plant grower, wrote, April 6, 

 1915 : 



"I would say anyone who has old houses and doe* not 

 use this Cement is missing a ijrood thins. 



"We usrd Federal Elastic Cement on sixteen old 

 houses In July, 1914. They were in pretty bad shape, 

 but since then not one llsht of ffiass ha<i blown out. Had 

 it not stopped any leakaare we would have been well paid 

 in the »avinfr of breakaee. If we had to put it on every 

 yrar we would do so, but it looks today the same as It did 

 last fall. It Is a little hard to put on, but we think It is 

 the best thinar that ever came out for greenhouses." 



Federal Elastic Cement never grows hard or disinte- 

 grates in the package; never crumbles or pulls loose on the 

 roof; lasts at least five times as long as putty; water-tight; 

 holds the glass firmly. 



We make a special grade for greenhouse glazing— a 

 thinner, short-fiber consistency that can be used in a 

 putty bulb or mastica machine. Black is best, but almost 

 any color can be furnished. 



The price of Federal Elastic Cement, greenhouse grade, is: 



Per barrel (560 IbH.) per pound, 8c 



Per half-barrel (30" lbs.) per pound, 8c 



Per kee (lOO or 150 ll>8.> per pound, lOc 



Price on trial pails quoted on request. Special prices in 

 quantities of a ton or over. 



One pound goes as far as two to tliree pounds of putty. It 

 therefore is the cheapest as well as "the best thlnv that 

 ever came out for greenhonses. " 



If you have a leakyfg^tter, fill the joint w^ith Federal Elastic Cement. Fine for roofing^.

DOUBLE-FLOWEBINa PEACH. 



What is the botanical name of the 

 double-flowering peach used for cut 

 flowers, and how and when can it be 

 propagated f E. M. — N. .T. 



There are several forms of the com- 

 mon peach, or Prunus Persica, that 

 carry double flowers, but what we gen- 

 erally see used, for cut flowers is either 

 Prunus triloba, with large double pink 

 flowers, or Prunus Japonica flore pleno 

 rubra, with double rose flowers. It is 

 propagated by budding in spring on 

 such stocks as Prunus domestica, P. 

 cerasifera or P. Avium. These latter 

 stocks are all easily raised from seed.

PINOHINa STEVIAS. 



When shall I discontinue pinching 

 my stevias in order to avoid injuring 

 the crop of flowers t Would it be pos- 

 sible for me to treat them so as to 

 have them in crop at two different 

 periods f C. B. — Ohio. 



Discontinue pinching your stevias by 

 the middle of August. You can prolong 

 the blooming season for stevias by keep- 

 ing your plants in a cold house which 

 just excludes frost, and bringing a 

 batch into a warmer house from time 

 to time. This is not possible, of course, 

 where you plant your stock in benches, 

 but pot culture is the most profitable 

 for the average retail grower. C. W.
