 extremely fortunate in being able to secure the 

 services of the Rev. R. Scott as his successor.

 gardeners in Ireland, and has had extensive show 

 experience, great hopes may be entertained for 

 the future prospects of tlie society. The Hon. 

 Edward O'Brien Was ele-ted to succeed Cajitain 

 Cooke, R.E. (who is also leaving Knnis). on the

Catalogues- 



Garden Flowers and Alpines from Messrs. 

 William Watson & Sons, Clontarf. — This

 herbaceous plants. The novelty list is an 

 interesting one, containing many good things.

 Campanulas and many other good plants follow.

Weed Worries' 



From now on garden and pirk walks, avenues, &c., 

 will be producing their spring crop of weeds, and 

 the unfortunate aspect of the matter is that al! 

 available labour is required for other work than sou 'fling 

 these walks. However, science has come to the rescue, 

 and has given us weed killing preparations, which reduce 

 the labour necessary to destroy the weeds to a minimum. 

 There is no doubt that of these preparations Smith's 

 " Perfect " Weed Killer (Liquid and Powder) holds a 

 premier place, and the Irish Agent (D. M. Watson, 61 South 

 Great George's Street, Dublin) finds the demand still 

 increasing. This is mainly the result of satisfied users 

 recommending Smith's Weed Killer to their friends. 

 Another thing which has stood to Smith's Weed Killer is
