*"Make"™ Your Own in Weeks Instead of Years 
The air-layering method of plant propagation 
is well known and widely used among profes- 
sional horticulturists. With it they are able to 
grow in weeks large plants that might take years 
to grow by other means. This is done by making 
a branch of a tree, 
vine or shrub produce 
a root. system while 
still attached to the 
parent plant from 
which it gets vital sup- 
port and nourishment. 
When the branch de- 
velops a_ sufficiently 
strong root system, it 
is cut off and. planted 
by itself—thus a new 
tree, shrub or vine is 
born. This may be 
done indoors or out, 
Instructions are also 
given for propagating 
house plants, flowers, 
ete.

provides the materials 
and instructions. The material is a special plas- 
tic, coated on one side with a water soluble 
material containing plant foods, hormones, in- 
secticides and fungicides. It is wrapped around 
the spot to be rooted, using Spaghnum Moss as 
a growing medium (all materials are furnished), 
so that all growth materials are available. AIR- 
WRAP has special property of retaining mois- 
ture and at the same time permitting the pas- 
sage of respiratory gases that form during the
