The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



in 



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-solutions) 

 depends on the amount of nicotine in them, and the price should be g^overned 

 accordingfly . * * 



(Prof. Beal's article on "Insecticides lor Ttarlps," in "The Weekly Floeists' REV^EW," Oct. 29, 1908.) 



In short, Prof. Beal's article fully substantiates our claim that our "Nico-Fume" products are 

 furnishing the purchaser much more nicotine per dollar invested than is offered by other preparations. 

 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 gal- 

 lon 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 /^ 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 ys 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% nico- 

 tine) 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 mopt nicotine claimed for any of these latter is 

 only /i more than is in a pint of "Nico-Fume" Liquid? For '^ more than $1.50 is $1.69, and not 

 $2.00 and $2.50. 



QUANTITY DISCOUNTS* We have arrans:ed to allow florists special discounts on

 barrels — but without increased charge for the cans; the cans being much easier to handle in greenhouse 

 work than kegs or barrels, besides affording less tendency to waste through accident or carelesnesB. 



PURITY. Ab the question of purity is one of great importance to florists, we guarantee that 

 Nico-Fume" Liquid contains only nicotine and water, blended in the proportion we deem best for 

 general florist usage, namely, a 40% nicotine-solution. 



"NICO=FUME" TOBACCO PAPER 



This product, having been 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 

 doubtless 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. 



Our complete schedule of prices for "Nico-Fume" Paper is as follows, net cash, f. o. b. Louis-
