Hormodin 
The Root-Forming Chemical 
The principal use of Hormodin is to induce new roots on stems, leaves, and 
roots. It is especially valuable for propagating plants by cuttings, whether 
rooted with ease or normally rooted with difficulty. Many cuttings formerly 
impossible to propagate may now be rooted with the aid of Hormodin. The 
use of Hormodin saves bench-space, time, labor and money. Its use is simple. 
Place the basal ends of the cuttings in a Hormodin solution of recommended 
strength for a designated period of from 4 to 48 hours. Thereafter follow the 
usual methods of handling the cutting in sand. 
Hormodin is furnished in liquid form and used as a diluted water solution. 
The cost is only a fraction of a cent per cutting. Directions giving full details 
furnished on request. 20-unit pkg. SI.00; 60-unit pkg. $2.00; 240-unit pkg. 
$5.00; 480-unit pkg. $9.00. 
Nod-O-Gen 
A Pure Culture of Nodule Bacteria

directions accompany every package. When ordering be sure to state what 
crop you wish to inoculate.

For making Artificial Manure. Dry leaves, mixed with 
Adco and kept moist, turn into excellent manure. So do

vegetable matter and kept moist, turns the latter into real manure, but without 
odor, flies, etc. The process is perfectly simple and not at all laborious.
