 whi h is quilted in to hold position. They are excellent substitutes for straw mats, 

 being if anything, warmer than s.iaw, more easily handled, less bulky, and they do 

 n r t harbor nvce or other vermin. We were afraid 

 that they would hold moisture, and either rot or mil- 

 dew, but our trial for two winters proves them to be 

 far more durable than straw mats.

MASTICA 

 CLAZING 

 MACHINE 

 $1 .25 Each 



Every florist has experienced difficulty in 

 obtaining putty (whether ordinary or white 

 lead) for glazing, that is satisfactory for any 

 length of time. The fact is, putty is not 

 adapted for greenhouse work. 

 After much study, the inventor of "Mast ca" decided that the composition must be 

 of different material, and the qualities must be elastic and tenacious to admit of expan- 

 sion and contraction without cracking. " Mastica," when applied, in a few hours 

 fotms a skin or film on the entire mass hermitically sealing the substance and pre- 

 venting evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable and elastic condition 

 for years. ' Mastica" is of great value in going over old houses "with a mastica 

 machine <-n the outside of sash as it makes it perfectly tight and saves the expense of 

 relating the glass. One gallon is sufficient lor about 300 lineal feet used either for 

 bedding or over glazing. 



Prices for Mastica, soft for machine application, 35c. per quart; 60c. per ]/ z gal- 

 lon; $1. 00 per gallon.
