Vermiculite 



This material has received considerable attention since its introduc- 

 tion not so long ago. Pellets of mica rock are expanded under high 

 heat which separates the thin mica sheets and produces a light, 

 fluffy material which is altogether inert and therefore does not contain 

 any harmful micro-organism and, of course, there are no weed seeds. 

 Once it has become saturated with water it represents an excellent 

 material for starting seeds and rooting cuttings. It also has special 

 value for lightening heavy soil. A large number of air spaces between 

 the expended mica gives it outstanding merits for mulching purposes. 

 Although it retains moisture for an exceptionally long time, it never- 

 theless provides plenty of air spaces which are so important for good 

 root growth. l/ 2 bu. 85c; 2 bu. $1.75. 



Standard Plant Tubs

 first quality. The staves are supported

 which harmonizes well with all kind of

Ship safely in Bird Red Pots

 the plants broken, dried-out, and the rootballs crushed and damaged.

 tomers do like other growers by shipping the safe and sure way in Bird 

 Red Pots which have proved to pay for themselves many times over.
