Let il stand for q week, when il Is ready for
use. Apply il with watering pot. All bed
ding plants can be watered with this liquid

few weeks, when it changes 10 dark glossy

strong; the flowers are very large and bright
in color. Plants thus treated can be kept in
very small pots for a long time without

vantageous to the market gardner. who can
cell his plants in three or four-ipch pots,
