FLOWER GROWERS' AND GARDENERS' REQUISITES. 



Henderson's Prepared Potting Soil. One of the principal elements of success in the growing and flowering of plants and bulbs is 

 proper soil. This " Prepared Potting Soil " is the same that we use in our extensive greenhouses. As needed we mix with it peat, 

 sand and pure raw ground bone meal — it is then friable, [rich, and will cause plants to grow and bloom luxuriantly. 



Leaf Mold. One of the most essential ingredients in plant grow 



ing, in fact indispensable for Ferns, etc. 1 



Sphagnum Moss. Extensively used for filling fern and orchid 

 baskets, mixing with potting soil, covering tops of pots to 

 preserve moisture, packing plants and cuttings, etc., etc 



Rotted (Sandy) Peat. Fine for lightening soil, for sowing fine 

 seeds, for Azaleas, Palms. Begonias, etc., mixed with garden 

 soil. 



Fibrous Peat. L T sc-d for potting Orchids, Ferns, etc.; very useful 

 for many purposes. Price of Potting Soil, Moss, Peat and 

 Leaf Mold, 20c. per peck bag, 75c per bushel bag, $1.50 per 

 bag containing about one barrel (purchaser to pay freight.) 



Bamboo or Cane Stakes Six to ten feet long and largely used 

 for staking Chry«anthemums, Roses, etc. Price. $1.00 per 100, 

 $6.00 per 1,000 (purchaser to pay freight.)
