ilMliiilllll\ *'***■ Destruction of Vermin or Purify- 

 I iiiMiai^ jQg, Kooms, &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. 



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

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

 its work effectually, will cause it to be a universal favorite with all 

 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 

 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 

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

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

 dence introduce it to the Qardening 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 •nee in two weeks. 

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

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

 healthful appearance.
