DIRECTIONS GIVEN BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR USE. 



" For Fruit Trees. Bore into the trunk of the tree near the ground 

 with I bit till the heart is nearly reached ; and fill the opening with 

 the Pha3nix Fruit Tree luvigorator, and close tight with a thin cork 

 or grafting wax. A wooden stopper may be used. Apply any time 

 during the winter and spring, till the first of June. 



" For Berry, Currant, Rose Bushes and House Plants. Remove 

 the dirt and rough bark from the roots, and apply the luvigorator. 

 covering again. with dirt." 



The mode of applying the offered remedy for the destruction of in- 

 sect life, and for the promotion of a healthful growth of plants, 

 requires certainly a serious operation, and a first trial if at all con- 

 templated, ought to be carried out on a limited scale. The proposi- 

 tion to introduce the remedy directly into the circulation of the plant, 

 is not without its analogy in the treatment of animals. One point, 

 however, must be cheerfully conceded — the patentee means to get a 

 liberal pecuniary compensation for his^|MHHHK discovery. 



A mixture of an essentially corresponding composition, may be 

 produced at an expense of from 12 to 15 cents per pound, at retail 

 cost, by taking from 40-42 lbs. of flour of sulphur, and 58-60 lbs. 

 of sifted wood ash.
