Hormodin “A” is the new root-inducing 
chemical that stimulates rapid root growth on

difficulty. Many plants formerly impossible 
to propagate from cuttings may now be 
rooted with the aid of Hormodin. 
The content of the $1.00 package is suffi¬ 
cient to treat from 150 to 600 or more cut¬ 
tings depending upon the required dilution.
