HOW TO CARE FOR PLANTS ON ARRIVAL 
When plants have been transported considerable distance 
they often show the effects of such treatment, especially so if 
delayed in transit. When they have been packed three or more 
days their roots should be submerged in tepid water a few 
hours, this treatment will revive them sufficiently so they will 
be more likely to survive when planted out of doors or placed 
in pots. The moss may be removed or if the ground is dry it 
may be left intact and then planted, thus treated moisture will 
be conserved at the roots which will be very beneficial and may 
establish some that would otherwise be lost. It is also well to 
make the soil fairly firm near the plants which prevents rapid 
evaporation.

whole work from the care of stock to the staging of blooms. 
Several new features have been added, including complete description and 
remedies for two new diseases, either of which, or the chapter on Chrysanthemum 
Midge, or the control of leaf tyer, are worth more to the reader than the price 
charged. Ten new illustrations have also been added.

Chrysaline 
Unequaled for Producing Lusty Chrysanthemums 
A complete Chemical Fertilizer, perfectly soluble and contains the same con¬ 
stituents as those incorporated in manure, supplying proper quantities of ni¬ 
trogen, potash and phosphoric acid, which are the most important elements 
conducive to plant life. 
The advantages of Chrysaline over other manures are: It is clean, has no 
offensive odor, is soluble and thus easily prepared, is immediate and permanent 
in its effects, so highly concentrated that it is the cheapest, saves time and labor, 
and gives accurate results. 
Samples of 13y 2 ounces, prepaid by mail, $0.75. 
Larger quantities will be furnished as follows: 
Five pounds, $2.50; Ten pounds, $4.50'; Twenty-five pounds, $10.00; Fifty 
pounds, $17.50. F. O. B. Adrian. 
One ounce is sufficient for ten gallons. Full directions accompany each 
package. 
Chrysanthemums like a slightly acid soil; Chrysaline has an acid reaction.
