BURLAP AND STRAW MATS — 
FOR PROTECTING 
Hot Beds and Cold Frames, 
HENDERSON’S BURLAP MATS. 
These are made of strong burlap bagging, warmly lined with waste 
wool and cotton, which is quilted in to hold position. They are excel- 
lent substitutes for straw mats, being, if anything, warmer than straw, 
more easily handled, less bulky, and they do not harbor mice or other 
vermin. We were afraid that they would hold moisture and either rot 
or mildew, but our trial for two winters proves them to be far more 
durable than straw mats. PRICES: Size A, 40x76 ins., 60c. each, 
$6.00 per doz.; Size B, 76x76 ins., 90c. each, $9.00 per doz. 
““WATERPROOFED DUCK”’ MATS. 
These are filled with cotton and wool waste, and quilted the same 
as the ‘‘Burlap’’ mats described above. The ‘‘ waterproofed duck’’ 
cotton cloth on one side sheds water, and prevents them from getting 
“soaked through.’’ PRICES: Size C, 40x76 in., $1.25 each, $12.00 
per doz.; Size D, 76x76 ins., $1.75 each, $18.00 per doz. 
RYE STRAW MATS. 
Being made in the best manner of long rye straw and best tarred 
cord, they are invaluable for throwing over cold frames, hot beds, etc., 
during the coldest weather; they roll up and can be stowed in small 
space. PRICES: Size, 3x6 feet, $1.25 each, $14.00 per doz.; Size, 
6x6 feet, $2.00 each, $22.00 per doz. 
MASTICA. 
For glazing Greenhouses, Sashes, etc., new and old. It is elastic, 
adhesive andeasily applied. It is not affected by dampness, heat or cold. 
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. 
“‘Mastica’’ is elastic and tenacious, ad- 
mitting of expansion and contraction with- 
out cracking. When applied a few hours, 
it forms a skin or film, hermetically sealing 
the substance and preventing evaporation 
* of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable 
andelastic conditionfor years. ‘‘ Mastica’’ 
is of great 
valuein going 
over old 
houses with a 
Mastica ma- 
ychine on the 
utside of 
Sash, as it 
/ makes it per- 
fectly tight 
and saves the 
expense of re- 
laying the 
glass. One 
gallon is sufficient for about 300 lineal feet, used either for bedding or 
over glazing. PRICES for Mastica,. soft, for machine application, 
50c. per quart, 75c. per 4% gallon, $1.25 per gallon. Mastica Glaz- 
ing Machine, $1.25 each.
