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, warmerthan 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., 80c. each, 

 $9.00 per doz.; Size B, 76x76 ins., $1.15 each, §12.00 per aoz. 



"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 ins.. §1.25 each, §12. 00 

 per doz.; Size D, 76x76 ins., SI. 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, $1.00 each, S11.00 per doz.; Size, 

 6x6 feet, $1.75 each, $20.00 per doz. 



MASTICA. 



For glazing Greenhouses, Sashes, etc., new and old. It is elastic, 

 adhesive and easily applied. It is not affected hy dampness, heat or cold. 

 Every florist has experienced difficulty inobtainingputty (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 

 I of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable 

 and elastic condition for years. "Mastica" 

 is of great 

 valueingoing 

 over old 

 houses with a 

 Mastica ma- 

 chine on the 

 outside 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, 

 40c. per quart, 75c. per ',4 gallon, $1.35 per gallon. Mastica Glaz- 

 ing Machine, $1.15 each.
