Raffia is the name of a palm which fur- 

 nishes a staple article of commerce 

 called raffia fibre. It is used by the na- 

 tives for making cloths called silk lambas 

 and rebannas, which bring fancy prices 

 in Europe and America. While it has 

 been used to some extent in America in 

 the manufaotu're of hats, its principal use 

 is for tying vines, flowers, asparagus and 

 celery bunches and for grafting. It is 

 as soft as silk, and not affected by moist- 

 ure or change in temperature so as to 

 risk cutting or wounding the most deli- 

 cate tissues, and it does not break or 

 ravel when folded or knotted. These 

 qualities bring it into general use. i^

INSECTICIDES. 



Steckler's Tobacco Dust. — We have a 

 large supply of this well known insec- 

 ticide, which is one of the best and 

 cheapest insect destroyers known. It is 

 one of the mo3t effective agents against 

 the cabbage fly and worms, which are 

 so injurious to and destructive to cab- 

 bage and cauliflower plants, and also for 

 cucumbers and melons. 



Used very extensively by the largest 

 cucumber growers in this vincinity with 

 satisfactory results. We have had op- 

 portunity to have a thorough test made 

 of our Tobacco Dust on chicken lice, 

 and have found it to be the best 

 insecticide for henneries, under setting 

 hens, etc.; we have had it tested 

 by a number of poultry men, who pro- 

 nounce it to be the best agent against 

 poultry vermin. The advance in price of 

 Tobacco Dust has been caused by the 

 action of the Tobacco Manufacturers.
