Weed Worries. 



From now on garden and park walks, avenues, kc. 

 Mill bo producing their spring crop of weeds, and the 

 unfortunate aspect of the matter is that a]] available 

 labour is required for other work tlian scuffling these 

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

 has given us weed killing preparations, which reduce to 

 a mininuun the labour necessary to destroy the weed.s. 

 Theie is no doubt that of these preparations Smiths 

 •'Perfect ■■ Weed Kii:ei- (Liquid and Powder) holds a 

 premier place, and the Irish Agent (I). M. AVatson. (il 

 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 tlien- friends. 

 Another thing which has stood to Smiths Weed Killer is 

 the fact that the solution is a much stronger one than 

 many or the market, and that even when the prices of the 

 ingredients advanced considerably (as they did a 3 ear or 

 two ago) the full original strength has always been main- 

 tained. Prices, &c., are given on page xii of this issue, 

 and it should be remembei-ed that Mt. AVatson also makes 

 a speciality of all kinds of Inssect^cides, Funsiicides, 

 Vaporising Compounds, Fertilizei's, &c. In fact he has a 

 fair claim to be considei-ed the only specialist in Ireland 

 in Horticultural Chemicals.
