IRISH GARDENING 



" Perfect "' summer shading^, put up in Is. tins and 

 also supplied in bulk for large users. It is in two 

 colours — g^reen and white. Most users prefer the green, 

 although it is very doubtful that green is the best 

 colour to use for such purposes, notwithstanding the fact 

 that Smith's green shading has been used for many years 

 on the glass in the Botanical Gardens at Kew. The 

 Irish agent for Smith's shading is Mr. D. M. Watson, 

 horticultural chemist, 6i South Great George's Street. 

 Dublin, who will be glad to give all further information. 



Sprayi.vg and LiME-W'ASHl.NG. — Continuing 

 the notes in our last two issues we now give an 

 illustration of a special narrow gauge machine, 

 " The Little .Aston," manufactured by the " Four 

 Oaks " Spraying Machine Co., suitable for use 

 in gooseberry and currant plantations. It is 

 light and handy, and provided with a powerful 

 pump capable of doing better and quicker 

 work than a knapsack. It is also suitable for 

 lime-washing, being capable of covering two 

 hundred square feel of wall in five minutes. .\ 

 smaller machine is "the Warwick " pattern, 

 and consists of a pump fitted to a galvanised 

 pail, and as the price is moderate it ought to 

 find its way into every amateurs garden.
