PiNOYPJOi 



THE VERY NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, Gl'TTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growth wherever applies, 

 and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and 

 thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is required. 



We manufacture the strongest line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

NEWS NOTES. 



New Bedford, Mass. —Spring work is 

 just opening up and promises well. 

 Pansies are unusually fine and are sell- 

 ing well at very good prices. The 

 more general observance of Mother's 

 Day in this vicinity has been a great 

 advantage to florists. It has created 

 a great demand for cut flowers, espec- 

 ially carnations. 



Amherst, Mass. — A gift of |5,000 has 

 been made to Amherst College by the 

 will of the late Mrs. Eliza S. Tucker- 

 man. It is to be known as the Edward 

 Tuckerman Fund, in memory of her 

 husband who was for some years a 

 member of the Amherst College facul- 

 ty, and will be used to increase the 

 facilities for botanical study in the

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there is a house that Is Just 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the soot is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil In the benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 ofteaer than too much all at once. 



We offer the genaine in original cvrt.
