A remedj- for the eradication of the greatest pests in Plaxt Hoi'ses, viz.: Meaiy 

 Bra, Browx and White Scale, and Amebicax Blight, fur which the pre%iou-ly used 

 remedies have proved so ineffectual. The above remedy not only kills all the insects 

 visible to the naked eye, but also the minute ova. It is easily apjilicd, and unlike the 

 washes now used, being transparent, consequentlj' leaves no dirty residue on the 

 plants, often proving as bad as the cure intended, by stopping up the pores of the leaves; 

 and also nearly inodorous. It is applied by a small brush, and can be worked into the 

 axils of the leaves and about the flower buds without the least damage to the young 

 foliage. We can recommend it particularly for hard-wooded plants, to perform what is 

 said of it. On soft-wooded plants we would, however, caution our customers to experi- 

 ment first befwre using, to see on which it can be applied with safety. One bottle is 

 sufficient for a Greenhouse. It is an effectual remedy for American Blight.
