It contains all the necessary plant food for almost all kinds of bulbous and other plants. Before using it should be thoroughly moistened, and the bulbs planted in the same way as if soil were used. A special feature of this material is that bulbs can be grown in it in jardinieres, fern dishes and other non-porous receptacles without drainage.

The treatment after planting in this material is the same as when planted in soil. SO cts. per I peck; 75 cts. per peck; $ per bushel. If wanted by Parcel Post add 20 cts. per peck.
