Henderson's Prepared Potting Soil. One of the principal elements of suc- 

 cess in the growing and flowering of plants and bulbs is proper soil. This 

 "Prepared Potting Soil" is the same that we use in our extensive greenhouses. 

 As needed, we mix with it peat, sand and pure raw ground bone meal — it is 

 then friable, rich, and will cause plants to grow and bloom luxuriantly. 



Leaf Mold. ' Essential in plant growing, in fact, indispensable for Ferns, etc. 



Eotted (Sandy) Peat. Fine for lightening soil, for sowing fine seeds, for 

 Azaleas, Palms, Begonias, etc., mixed with garden soil. 



Fibrous Peat. Used for potting Orchids, Ferns, and many purposes. Price 

 of Potting Soil, Peat and Leaf Mold, 30c. per peck bag, $1.00 per bushel 

 bag, S2.00 per bag containing about one barrel. 



Sphagnum Moss. Extensively used for filling fern and orchid baskets, mix- 

 ing with potting soil, covering tops of pots to preserve moisture, etc., etc 

 Price, 25c. peck, 75c. bushel, $1.50 barrel; bale of three barrels, $3.50. 



Bamboo or Cane Stakes. Six to ten feet long and largely used for staking 

 Chrysanthemums, Roses, etc. Price, $1.00 per 100, $8.00 per 1,000.
