Raffia Tape is better than 

 Raffia because being corru- 

 gated it e.xpands with the 

 plant's growth, yet will not 

 contract with wet, so plants 

 can be quickly tied up as it 

 can not cut them like raffia. 

 It is made of a composition 

 of paper and linen and is 

 tremendously strong, it is 

 about Vs inch broad, and is 

 put up in 250-yard spools or

 Pincers for driving, 50 cts. 

 Mastica. For glazing greenhouses, new or old. Elastic, adhesive, 

 easy to apply. Used extensively now. and 

 highly recommended by all up-to-date gar- 

 deners and florists. Immense quantities 

 were used last season. After much study, 

 the inventor of "Mastica" decided that 

 the composition must be of different ma- 

 terials from that used heretofore for this 

 purpose, must be elastic and tenacious, and 

 these qualities must be retained to admit 

 the expansion and contraction without cracking. This 

 result has been reached in " Mastica," which, when 

 applied, in a few hours forms a skin or film on the entire 

 mass, hermetically sealing the substance and preventing 

 the evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pli- 

 able and elastic condition foryeais. One gallon will cover 

 about 300 running feet. Qt. 35c., 2 qts. 65c., gal. §1.25.
