The above illustrates a very effectual and durable apparatus for *' fumigating" greenhouses, conservatories, poultry- 

 "bouses. hospitals, sick-rooms and ships. It dispense?^ entirely with the usual custom of smoking to rid plants of insects, 

 "by which procedure choice plan's are »iften destroyed in hot-houses and vermin increased for the want of proper fumiga- 

 tion. This Fumigatnr is simple in construction, made durable and cheap, and is entitled to be called ExceUiur. This appa- 

 ratus can be used withouttheleast fear of tire and without being closely watched. A receptacle, No. 8, for burning sulphur 

 is used for purif>ing air in hospitals, sick-rooms, ships, or exterminating dangerous or contagious disease in houses or places 

 where the atninspbere has become foul or condensed; it is also excellent for purifying air, killing insects in poultry-houses. 

 Clothiers can rid their cloths and clothing from destructive moths with this fumigator and valuable furs may be saved in 

 the same way. It is death to flies, mosquitoes and roaches. This apparatus is considered indispensable by Gardeners, Flor- 

 ists and Amateurs, wherever it has been once used, as will be seen by reading the truthful testimonialsin tht- circulars.
