A DETROIT CHARITY. 



Tuberculosis Flower Day under the 

 auspices of Detroit's society, was a 

 splendid success and John Breitmeyer's 



Sons' establishment was crowded with 

 purchasers from all stations of life. 

 All were anxious to buy a flower to 

 help the good cause, the entire receipts 



cf the afternoon's sales being for that 

 purpose. These ladies carried off sev- 

 eral hundred dollars. The accompany- 

 ing illustrations show some of Detroit's 

 society belles as they appeared selling 



flowers on this occasion and the ever 

 present, genial smile of Mayor Phil 

 Breitmeyer is well brought out. The 

 great success attained suggests that 

 the event be made an annual affair.

 ■"rhe Aphine you sold me I have 

 u.sed on orchard trees and ornamen- 

 tal plants infested with scale, green 

 and white fly, thrip. mealy bug, etc., 

 Mid found, in every case, that it 

 cnuipletcly destroyed the pests in 

 question with not the slightest 

 harm to the subjects treated. It is 

 without doubt the finest insecticide 

 I have ever used.'^

 ■■Replying to your letter of March 

 .31st, I wish to say that we have 

 given your Aphine a thorough test, 

 aiul have coine to the conclusion that 

 it is one of the best insecticides 

 ever sent ont.^'

 ■It gives me great satisfaction to 

 tell yon that Aphine has entirely 

 cleaned my (jardenias of Mealy Rug. 

 I used it one part to 3.5 water. I 

 have tried many things with more 

 or less success but this was the 

 first complete success. There was 

 no injury to buds or foliage.

 "Received the .\phine and gave it 

 a good test. As I wrote vou before, 

 my 'mums' were literally covered 

 with lice, but that is a thing of the 

 past. I regard .\idiiue practically 

 as an insurance against insects and 

 I shall iiot be without it in the 

 future."

"It may interest .vou to know that 



of the three fluid inserticides which 



I have tested .\phine proved to be 



the best. Fii-st— It did not disfigure 



foliage or flowei^. Serond — It mixed 



with wat.er perfectl.v. an<l li.st. but 



not least of its merits, it is less 



expensive than an.v of the others 



considering the work ar-contplished."

We will snpplv many i-eports.
