GARDEN MATERIALS HELPFUL IN GROWING LILIES 
HORMODIN POWDER NO. 1 
-At Sandyloam we find Hormodin No. 1 most helpful in establish- 
ing all lilies and we especially recommend that bulbs of any rare, ex- 
pensive or slightly difficult lily be dusted before they are planted. 
The old roots should be clipped before dusting and new roots will 
establish quickly. 
4 oz. package, each 25c. 
1% oz. package, each 50c. 
SPERGON 
A number of disinfectants are in use for the prevention of both 
basal rot and damping off. We find Spergon a shade better than most 
and also the handiest to use. It is a fine yellow powder with which 
bulbs susceptible to basal rot should be dusted before planting. 
2 oz. bottle, 45c. 
PENETROL 
A. new compound that acts as both spreader and sticker when 
mixed with Bordeaux. It causes the spray to adhere for weeks even 
through wet weather. It can also be used with nicotine solutions for the 
control of aphids. Used at the rate of one pint to fifty gallons of 
water, or one teaspoon to two quarts of water. Full directions on 
bottle. , 
1 qt. bottle, 75c. 
1 gal. bottle, $1.75. 
SANDYLOAM SEED STARTER 
A. specially treated pulverized mica, completely sterile and re- 
tentive of moisture, and one of the most satisfactory media in which 
to start young plants. It is especially helpful in avoiding damping off 
and basal rot, both of which are fairly prevalent in the average seed- 
bed. With careful feeding, young bulbs can be grown in the Starter 
until such time as the gardener is ready to place them in the open, or 
even until they reach flowering size, if desired. 
5 lb. bag, $1.00. 
10 lb. bag, $1.85. 
LIQUA-VITA 
Specially prepared liquid fertilizer which contains all of the im- 
portant food elements for seedlings and growing plants together with 
small amounts of the so-called minor ones. It is preferable to most 
other fertilizers in that all of the elements are soluble and easily ab- 
sorbed by the plants. Full directions on package. Recommended for 
use with SANDYLOAM SEED STARTER. 
8 oz. bottle, 45c. 
32 oz. bottle, $1.25.
