For every kind of plsut not hereafter ?peeiiilly named, 

 pure Jadoo Fibre can be ased, but a mixture of one-third 

 earth will of course be more economical, and will in no 

 case be injurious. 



FERN'Sc— Pot very tight, adding a little silver sand. 

 For A. Farleyense use two parts Jadoo Fibre, one part loam 

 and one part sand. 



PRIMULAS, t'iSERlEIiS AND CALCEOLARIAS — 

 For sowing the seed and tirst potting into 3-inch pots, use 

 three parts Jadoo Fibre, one part loam and one part sand, 

 afterwards Jadoo Fibre freely mixed vrith sand. 



ROSES, AZALEAS, EPACRIS, CAJIELLIAS, Etc.— 

 Pot Tery firm, using two parts Jadoo Fibre, one part loam 

 and part sand. 



CHRTSANTHEMDxMS.- Use Jadoo Fibre exactly as 

 you would earth. Last shift to be into S-inch or 9-inch 

 "pots. Do not till these further than two inches from top 

 of pot till the buds are set, then All with Jadoo Fibre. 

 When pots are full of roots (not before) water with diluted 

 Jadoo Liquid, gradually increasing its strength. 



CARNATIONS. — Layer the plants in pure Jadoo Fibre. 

 When potting use half Jadoo Fibre and half loam with 

 sand. 



GLOXINIAS AND CALADIUMS.— Use two parts Jadoo 

 Fibre, one part loam, and one part sand for tirst potting. 

 Afterwards use Jadoo Fibre freely mixed with sand. 



ORCHIDS,— Use Jadoo Fibre in the same propor- 

 tion as you would peat, with a little sand, moss, and char- 

 coal mixed with it. " Crock " the pots or baskets in the 

 usual way. Use no water till the plant is established, 

 and then sparing'l}', abont once a week or so, according to 

 circumstances. Dilute Jadoo Liquid will be found spe- 

 cially adapted for watering Orchids, especially aerial ones. 



It must be remembered, both with Orchids and all 

 other plants grown in Jadoo Fibre, that over-watering is 

 the chief thing to be avoided. 



BEDDING PLANTS.— Lobelias, Petunias, and other 

 sorts raised from seed, should be pricked off in boxes about 

 two inches apart — they should be hardened off towards 

 the end of May. wlien they can be divided and " planted 

 out"' in beds for the summer. No "check" whatever 

 will be experienced by the plants when treated in this 

 way, even if they are coming into bloom when planted 

 out, and if watered in the ordinary way, they will flourish 

 through the driest summer. 



Lobelias and other annuals treated in this way form 

 a perfect mat of roots in the boxes, which can be broken 

 oft' without the slightest injury to the plants. 



CUTTINGS. — Geraniums, etc., may be struck in Jadoo 

 Fibre, either in pots or boxes, and usuaUy root in half the 

 time they would take in earth, and also root much more 

 strongly than in earth. If struck in boxes, they can be 

 cutout into balls for bedding-out. when they will receive 

 no check even in the driest season. 



STRA^VBERRIES IN POTS.— Root the runners in 

 .Jadoo Fibre; make the first shifu in half Jadoo Fibre, 

 half loam: afterwards use loam entirely. Flavor will be 

 greatly improved by this, and even if the use of Jadoo 

 Fibre is confined to rooting the runners only in it, a much 

 stronger crown will be formed than if the runners are 

 rooted in the usual way in earth. 



FRUITS TREES "iN POTS.— Every species of fruit 

 tree will give a large return of fruit if grown in moderate- 

 sized pots in Jadoo Fibre, and will require no feeding first 

 year; afterwards, use moderate amount of Jadoo Liquid, 

 but not till the fruit is set. In the cases of Peaches and 

 Nectarines, keep them in a sheltered place till the cold 

 winds are over, covered, if possible, with an old ligbt, 



then move to the sunniest part of the gatden. The light- 

 ness of Jadoo Fibre mais.es this practicable. 



FRUIT TREES.-In open ground. Put a spadeful of 

 Jadoo Fibre below and above roots when planting. This 

 will enormously increase fibrous roots, and therefore give 

 a larger yield of fruit, besides insuring that the tree suffers 

 no check in transplanting. 



TINE BORDERS. Half loam, half Jadoo Fibre, with 

 some charcoal and broken bricks, makes the best vine bor- 

 der in the world. \Vhen the grapes are " set,'" use Jadoo 

 Liquid, diluted 20 to 1. 



VEGETABLES.— Fotatoes.—Put a small quantity at 

 bottom of trench in which seed potatoes are placed ; this 

 will largely increase the yield, give them a clearer skin, 

 and also make them much less likely to succumb to potato 

 disease. 



Celery, —Sow in frames in Jadoo Fibre; when plant- 

 ing out, put Jadoo Fibre at the bottom of trench : this 

 greatly improves clearness of skin and flavor. 



Mustard and Cress is much improved by being sown 

 in Jadoo Fibre, as it comes up perfectly clean, without 

 any dirt adhering to the leaves 



Asparagus. — Sow into a thick bed of Jadoo Fibre, 

 cover with earth so that the Jadoo Fibre may not come 

 within four inches of the surface. Asparagus will come 

 to full bearing one year sooner in Jadoo Fibre than if the 

 bed is made in the ordinary way, and will give a much 

 larger yield. 



CUCUMBERS, MELONS AND TOMATOES Use half 



loam, half Fibre, well mixed together. If grown in pots, 

 shift them as gradually as usual, but the final shift should 

 not be larger than 12-inch. When shifting into this only, 

 half fill the pot at first, gradually filling it up as the 

 plants advance in growth, so that the roots may be thrown 

 out far up the stem. As soon as the pot is filled with 

 roots, commence watering with Jadoo Liquid, using it at 

 first diluted 48 to 1, i. e., one half-pint to a three gallon 

 can of water, and gradually increasing the strength as the 

 plants are " set " with fruit to 24 to ], i. e., half a pint to 

 a two-gallon can. 



If grown in a bed, the treatment is the same, but the 

 Jadoo Fibre must be gradually " heaped up " round the 

 stem. 



TABLE DECORATION.— Jadoo Fibre is specially 

 adapted for growing plants for table decoration. They 

 should be gi-own in pots a size smaller than the china 

 vases in which they are to be put on the table, so that they 

 can be moved in and out of them without injury to their 

 roots. Plants like Grevilleascan be be kept in the smallest- 

 sized pots for years in .Tadoo Fibre. 



>VIXDOW BOXES.— Grow the plants in pots in Jadoo 

 Fibre until they are in bloom or showing their flower 

 buds, then shake out and place in boxes, filling up inter- 

 stices with Jadoo Fibre. The great advantage of this is, 

 that the window-boxes look well at once, instead of wait- 

 ing for plants to get established Plants can be removed 

 when out of bloom, and exchanged for others, "without 

 injuring those that remain. 



HANGING-BASKETS,- Treat just the same as win- 

 doNA'-boxes. Besides being less than half the weight of 

 of earth, they never drip, the water being held as if in 

 a sponge. This is often a great advantage. 



In this and many other ways in which Jadoo Fibre 

 can be used, its excessive cleanliness and lightness make 

 it invaluable. Even large pots can be handled by ladies 

 with ease, in fact, it is an almost ideal material for 

 ladies.
