MASTICA. 



For glazing Greenhouses y Snskes, vtc^ new and old. It is elastic, 

 adhesive and easily applied. It is not a^'ected by dampness, keat or cold. 

 Every florist has experienced difficulty in obtaining putty (whether or- 

 dinary or white lead ) for glazi-.g that is satisfactory foi any length of time. 

 The fact is, putty is not adapted lor greenhouse work. "Mastica" is 

 elastic and tenacious, admitting of expansion 

 and contraciion wirhout cracking. When ap- 

 plied a few hours, it forms a skin or film, her- 

 metically seali g the substance and preventing 

 evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a 

 soft, pi able a-.d elastic condition for years. 

 "Mastica" is of great value is going over
