The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



109 



ARE YOU WASTING MONEY? 



As truly stated by Prof. A. C. Beal, late of the Illinois Experiment Station : 



"The point to keep in mind is that the value of these insecticides (nicotine solu- 

 tions) depends on the amount of nicotine in them, and the price should be governed 

 accordingly." (Prof. Seal's Article on "Insecticides for Thrips,'' in "The "Weekly 

 Florists' Review," October 29, 1908.) 



In short, Professor Beal's article fully substantiates our claiijj, that Our "Nico-Fume" products 

 are furnishing the purchaser much more nicotine per dollar invested than is offered by other prepara- 

 tions. For Example: - 



"Nico-Fume" Liquid, guaranteed to contain not less than 40% nicotine, sells at $10.50 per 

 gallon, in single gallon lots. Yet, through lack of information, some florists are paying $15,00 per 

 gallon for competing preparations, of which the highest claim by any is 45% nicotine. 



Don't you see how these florists are wasting money ? 



For, if 40% nicotine-solution can be bought for $10.50 per gallon, it is folly to pay $15,00 per 

 gallon for only 45% nicotine-solution, because, as 45% is only -J more than 40%, there is consequently 

 only ^ more nicotine in a gallon of 45% nicotine-solution than in a gallon of 40% solution; therefore, 

 the price of the 45% preparation should not be more than I greater — namely, not more than $11.81 

 per gallon in single gallon lots, instead of $15.00 per gallon. 



Likewise, as to smaller packages: If you can buy a pint of "Nico-Fume" Liquid (40% nicotine) 

 for $1.50, is it wise to pay the same price for an article containing only 30% nicotine, or to pay $2.00 

 to $2.50 per pint for other preparations when the most nicotine claimed for any of these latter is only 

 ^ more than is in a pint of "Nico-Fume" Liquid? For ^ more than $1,50 is $1,69, and not $2,00 

 and $3,50, •

** Nico-Fume'' Tobacco Paper 



This product, having oeen put' upon the market some time before we offered "Nico-Fume" Liquid, 

 is so well known to florists and horticulturists throughout the country that detailed comment is doubt- 

 less unnecessary' ; our claim being that "Nico-Fume" Paper is the "strongest, best packed, and easiest- 

 applied" tobacco paper on the market — the sheets being folded and punched, ready for use; thus saving 

 labor and loss of strength through evaporation while handling.
