VAN REYPER
Every florist has experienced difficulty in
obtaining putty (whether ordinary or white
lead) for glazing, that is satisfactory for any
length of time. The fact is, putty is not
adapted for greenhouse work.
After much study, the inventor of "Masrca" decided that the composition must be
of different material, and the qualities must be elastic and tenacious 10 admit of expan-
sion and contraction without cracking. " Mastica," when applied, in a few hours
foimsaskin or film on the entire mass hermitically sealing the substance and pie-
venting evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable and elastic condition
for years. ' Mastica" is of great value in going over old houses with a mastica
machine rn the outside of sash as it makes it perfectly tight and saves the expense of
relaying the glass One gallon is sufficient lor about 300 lineal feet used either for
bedding or over glazing.
Prices for Mastica, soft for machine application, 35c. pe r quart; 60c. per l / 2 gal-
lon; $1.00 per gallon.
