CAREY'S MOUNTED PASTILLES 



Patented April 19, 1881. 



Holders, postpaid 15 



This article is, without any doubt, the best of all the 

 many preparations which have been produced to supply 

 the universal need of all engaged in the cultivation of 

 plants, either largely or in a small way, for pleasure or for 

 profit. So many of these having proved either ineffectual, 

 impracticable, or offensive, these Pastilles, against which 

 none of these objections can be urged, will be welcomed 

 with delight. It will be seen by reference to the accom- 

 panying cut which is three-quarters of the actual size, 

 that they are far superior in point of convenience, to any 

 other fumigator. They are also clean and inofi'ensive 

 and are in all respects the best article made for the 

 purpose. The Holder, which is used in connection, is 

 made of metal, handsomely bronzed, and will last a life- 

 time. While the Pastilles can be used without it, they 

 will work, uniformly, better with it. 



DIRECTIONS FOK USING. 



Scratch the match end ; then hold it so that the blaze 

 will strike against the end of the Pastille. If from any 

 cause the Pastille fails to light, it can be lighted with a 

 common match. As soon as the Pastille is lighted, place 

 the lower end of the match in the holder (or in the earth in 

 the flower pot); have a paper bag ready to draw on over 

 the plant and the pot, tie the open end of the bag around 

 the pot to prevent the escape of the smoke. Allow the bag 

 to remain from one to two hours, which will effectually de- 

 stroy all the insects on the plant. A covered barrel,' tub, 

 or box will answer as well. 



The Pastilles are put up in boxes containing i dox. each
