Spraying ("Amateur") — The two spra}s are entirely 

 different — the winter spray, because of its caustic or 

 "burning" character, kills all active veg-etation, eggs 

 of insects, &c., that it touches, while the summer spray 

 fluid, while poisonous to insects and fungi, does no harm 

 to the foliage We understand, on the authority of the 

 United Alkali Company, that the spray-fluid " Salva 

 Fruta " is compounded on the lines of Mr. Doolan's recipe 

 as given in last month's issue under t!ie " Month's Work. ' 

 In it the two ingredients are mixed together, and ready 

 for use.

Local Shows. 

 Sir, — I desire to express my humble opinion in your 

 valuable paper on the good of local shows, and tojsay 

 why people like to exhibit. Well, to begin with, it 

 gives o\vt an interest in growing things properly, as to 

 show properly one must grow properly, while, further- 

 more, it gives you an interest all along the line, watching 

 the plants so as to have them in a fit state against the

The Planting Time 



A Visit to 



Messrs. Watson & Sons' Nurseries, 



Ciontarf, 



WILL convince intending planters that there is 

 no need to cross the Channel for roses, fruit 

 trees, or indeed most nursery stock, which 

 formerl}- was not to be obtained satisfactorily in 

 Ireland. Messrs. Watson have been steadily in- 

 creasing their premises, and now, with their large 

 nurseries, are in a better position year by year to 

 supply all wants in home-grown stuff, at prices and of 

 quality which will compare favourably with any reliable 

 grower. Long-distance carriage is saved to their 

 patrons, and, what is perhaps more important with 

 goods of a perishable nature, owing to their nurseries 

 being situated in the metropolis the most direct routes 

 are available to the provinces, with the result that the 

 trees arrive in perfect condition, and are replanted 

 before they have time to suffer. Messrs. Watson will 

 attend to postal or telephone inquiries from those too 

 distant or unable to spare time to visit the nurseries 

 and see for themselves. The entrance to the nurseries 

 is only fifteen minutes tram drive from Nelson's 

 Pillar. — Daily Express.

I am much pleased with Canary Guano. 



I have found our lawns dressed with it have 



greatly benefited. It is most valuable for 



pot plants under glass. It is soon taken 



hold of by the roots and is a safe plant food.
