substitutes for straw mats, being, if anything warmer than straw, more
easily handled, less bulky, and tdev do not harbor mice or other vermin.

mats. PR CnS: 5izeA. 40x76 ins., 85c. each, $9.00 per doz.; Size B,

MASTICA.
For glazing Greenhouses y Snskes, vtc^ new and old. It is elastic,
adhesive and easily applied. It is not a^'ected by dampness, keat or cold.
Every florist has experienced difficulty in obtaining putty (whether or-
dinary or white lead ) for glazi-.g that is satisfactory foi any length of time.
The fact is, putty is not adapted lor greenhouse work. "Mastica" is
elastic and tenacious, admitting of expansion
and contraciion wirhout cracking. When ap-
plied a few hours, it forms a skin or film, her-
metically seali g the substance and preventing
evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a
soft, pi able a-.d elastic condition for years.
"Mastica" is of great value is going over
old houses with a Mastica machine on the
