Plants require sunlight, air, water and soil. The plant 
does not take the soil directly into the plant system, but 
takes from the soil the chemicals required for it in its 
growth and in the production of its fruit. For many years, 
chemists have been experimenting to find out just what 
chemicals are required, and now have succeeded in per¬ 
fecting chemicals that will supply all the plant food nec¬ 
essary simply by putting a small amount in the water in 
which the plant is growing. This method is especially 
adaptable for tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, lettuce, and 
other vegetables, as well as many flowers from seed. Also, 
gladiolus, tuberous begonias, cannas, lilies, and other 
bulbs. Perhaps the greatest advantage of soilless agricul¬ 
ture lies in the improving of the quality of many food 
products, of mineralizing the foods, of adding to the color 
and perfume of the flowers, and gives a splendid oppor- 
^ tunity for perfecting new plants such as seedless tomatoes 
and hybrids.

SOILLESS AGRICULTURE CHEMICALS 
A supply of chemicals suitable for mineralizing more 
than 30 gallons of water, together with paper tester 
so that at any time you can test the water to see if It 
has sufficient chemical food for the plants, will be sent 
postpaid for 75c. 
COMBINATION 
When taken together, we will sell the book and the 
chemical for even $1.00, postpaid. 
The plants may be started in water and a spoonful of 
the chemical added from time to time as the chemical 
contents of the water is absorbed by the plant. 
This is an interesting experiment which you can try 
right now in the winter or spring. 
MUSHROOM SPAWN 
We are this year, for the second time, 
offering the famous New Process Pure 
Culture Spawn. It has numerous polnte 
of superiority over the old manure 
spawn process. By this new method 
chopped tobacco stems are used as a 
base. These stems are mixed with a 
special humus, sterilized, and Inocula¬ 
ted the same as a ma-nure spawn. This 
medium contains more desirable food 
elements for the growth of spawn, is 
more vigorous, more resistant to Insects 
than other types of spawn. It is with¬ 
out doubt the most dependable spawn 
produced. 
Plain instructions for growing Mushrooms by the latest and 
most successful method will be given with each order. Each pack¬ 
age of our spawn will plant 12 H square feet of bed. Package. 60et 
8 packages. 91.60} 12 packages, fS.OO, postiMUd.
