HOW TO PAINT. 



Manufactured and for Sale by 



HENRY A. DREER, 



For Greenhouses, Conservatories, Pits, 

 Frames, Infirmaries, Hospitals, 

 Ships, Poultry Houses, etc. 

 For Destruction of Vermin or Purify- 

 ing Rooms, <&c. 

 This effectual apparatus for the Fumigating of Green- 

 houses, etc., does away with the unpleasant duty of being 

 smoked almost to death by the old mode of fumigating Greenhouses, 

 as they required constant attention to prevent the tobacco stems 

 from burning to a blaze, and destroying the plants in the attempt at 

 gerting rid of the pests that infested them. 



Tbis Apparatus is of simple construction, made out of sheet- 

 iron, is not liable to get out of order, being cheap and durable.doing 

 its work efftctually, will cause it to be a universal fivorite with all 1 

 Gardeners or owners of Conservatories who may have the pleasure 

 of becoming the possessor of one. 



When once lit, it is self-acting, and may be ieft in the house i 

 with perfect safety, as flaring is an impossibility, and setting any- ; 

 thing on fire out of the question, while all the material is completely ! 

 consumed without waste and given off in a dense smoke, filling a i 

 house in a short time, thus ensuring the entire destruction of insect i 

 life. We have tested this apparatus thoroughly, and with confi- ' 

 dence introduce it to the Gardening Public, making fumiga- | 

 ting a pleasure instead of a nuisance ; at the same time the Gar- | 

 dener can be attending to his other duties while his house is being 

 fumigated ; and by using every week, or at least once in two weeks, I 

 it will prevent the insects from infesting the plants ; at the same | 

 time causing them to grow more vigorously, and imparting a more I 

 healthful appearance.
