IRISH GARDENING

Destroying Weeds. 



THIS is llio month wlu-ii walks, drives, slablc-jards, 

 &c., sliould be freed from weeds. As soon as the 

 weeds begin to show above the surface they 

 should be attacked, and by taking proper care at that 

 stage llie walks and avenues can be kept clean for the 

 whole season. Ol' the many preparations now on the 

 market there is no doubt that Smith's " Perfect " Weed 

 Killer is the most deservedly popular. All over Ireland 

 and C>reat Britain it is used in ver}- large quantities both 

 in small gardens and on large estates. For many \ears 

 it has been used in the Royal Gardens and in many of 

 the public parks and gardens. It can be supplied both 

 in powder and liquid form. Most users, however, find 

 the powder the more convenient, as it saves carriage, 

 and being supplied in free tins there is no trouble sentl- 

 ing back empties. Prices will be found on this page. 

 The Irish agent is Mr. D. M. Watson, the well-known 

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

 Dublin, and all further particulars maybe hail from him. 



Greenhouse Shading. 



The cheapest, most efficient, and convenient pic- 

 paration for shading greenhouses and all kinds of 



glass roofs is Smith's "Perfect" Summer Shading, 

 which can be had either white or green. It is applied 

 cold — an enormous advantage over preparations which 

 require to be used hot. Smith's Shading does not 

 wash off with the rain, but can be removed when desired 

 by rubbing over with a cloth or brush whfen wet. It is 

 put in IS. tins (post. 4d. extra), and can also be had in 

 bulk for largo users. The Irish agent is Mr. D. M. 

 Watson, horticultural chemist, 61 South Great Cieorge's 

 Street, Dublin, who is also Irish agent for the well- 

 known Smith's " Perfect " Weed Killer, made by the 

 same firm. Smith's Shading has been used for many 

 \ears on the greenhouses at Kew. 



Caterpillars on Gooseberries. 



Growers of gooseberries should soon spray their 

 bushes with Swift's Arsenate of Lead, which remedy- 

 will kill all caterpillars within an hour of application. 

 The caterpillars of gooseberry sawfly feed on the 

 fresh leaves, and are poisoned at once by the arsenate, 

 which sticks to the leaves. Hundreds of tons of 

 Swift's Lead w-ere used in the United Kingdom last 

 year. Irish agent — D. M. Watson, chemist, 61 South 

 (rreat George's Street, Dublin.

Vour Weed Killer last year gave great satis- 

 faction. I tried with Liquid and Powder and was 

 well satisfied with the results of both ; but as 

 there are no empties to return with the Powder. 

 it is with me preferable to the Liquid. I shall 

 recommend it to all I can. — C. WALSH.
