Hormodin 
The Root-Forming Chemical 
Hormodin stimulates rapid root growth on plant cuttings and makes easy 
the rooting of many plants which were formerly impossible or very difficult 
to root. 
Hormodin A Liquid. The liquid form of Hormodin is applied as a dilute 
water solution. It offers the possiblity of treating cuttings with any desired 
concentration at a very low cost. Complete instructions with list of plant 
names and definite recommendations for the treatment of each; also a con¬ 
venient measuring vial is included in each package. Bottle of 5 c.c. 50c; 
bottle of 15 c.c. $1.00. 
Hormodin Powders have now been produced to further simplify the treat¬ 
ment of cuttings. The moistened stems are simply dipped in Hormodin and 
then gently tapped to remove the excess powder before setting them in the 
sand. Since different plants require different treatments, Hormodin Powder 
has been developed in three strengths to parallel the range of hormones in 
nature. 
Powder No. 1. Designed primarily for use on carnations, chrysanthemums, 
poinsettias, roses, and similar types. Many house, garden, and greenhouse 
plants are included in the complete list. 1M oz. tin 50c; 1 lb. tin $3.00. 
Powder No. 2. Designed for use on less sensitive species, which comprise many
