IRISH GARDENING 



long remain the standard work on the subject. Every 

 gardener and grape-grower should possess a copy, for 

 on every phase of the subject helpful hints are given, 

 useful alike to the amateur and to ihc professional. 

 Various chapters deal with Vineries, I'raining the Vine, 

 Settingand Thinningthe I'ruit, vS;c.. while chapter xxiii., 

 on "Commercial Grape Culture," is interesting, and 

 also gives a note on how to pack grapes for market. 

 The book is written in expressive, but at the same time 

 clear and concise language. 



Messrs. John Rn;nv i!t Sons, Lid., wire manuiac-- 

 turers, Sallord, Manchester, send particulars of their new 

 collapsible spiral Sweet Pea Trainer for Clumps, which 

 looks a serviceable article ; and also the spiral wire 

 I'ea Trainer for rows of Sweet Peas or Culinary Peas, 

 which can be used at any height required. They say 

 that the Sweet Peas take remarkably well to the "Spiral 

 Trainers," and a row of well-grown Sweet Peas almost 

 completelv hides the coils, and the blooms show up to 

 perfection- 



MiissKS. Can.m.li. &. Sons, .Swanley, Kent, send a

New Pest Destroyers. 



ALMOST all those who have gardens are already 

 ^"Y. aware of the outstanding merits of Smith's 

 " Perfect " Weed Killer which is advertised 

 below. However, there are some other garden 

 requisites made bj- the same firm which have not yet 

 become so well known in Ireland as thev deserve. 

 Ainong these are Smith's "Swift and Sure " Insecti- 

 cides which lias been most successfully used for years 

 at Kew Botanical Gardens. It is one oi' the best, yet 

 cheapest insecticides for destroying green-fly. scale, 

 mealy bug, and all of the aphides on greenhouse 

 plants, fruit trees, &c. Smith's Mildew Destroyer is a 

 splendid preparation for getting rid of this troublesome 

 fungus from roses, &c. Smith's Lawn Sand is now 

 being very generally used on golf greens, croquet and 

 tennis lawns, &c., for destroying weeds. It kills the 

 latter, but acts as a fertilizer for the grass. Smith's 

 Worm Destroyer and Snuth's Summer Shading are also 

 made by the same firm, and it may be taken for granted 

 that all these articles have been tested with satisfactory 

 results before being put on the market. The Irish 

 agent for all of the Mark Smith, Ltd., goods, is Mr. 

 D. M. Watson, Horticultural Chemist. 61 .Sth. Great 

 George's Street. Dublin, who will be glad to give full 

 particulars to all enquirers. Smith's Weed Killershould 

 be used this month so as to ensure clean walks for the 

 r-emainder of the se.ason.
