——=FLOWER GROWERS’ AND 
Henderson’s Prepared Potting Soil. One of the principal elements of suc¬ 
cess 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. 
Leal Mold. Essential in plant growing, in fact, indispensable for Ferns, etc.

Azaleas, Palms, Begonias, etc., mixed with garden soil.
