cyanide in the scoop and 

 leave tlie house. Pull 

 Fig. 2 the string gently to re- 

 lease the lever, when 

 the cyanide will fall into the sulphuric acid as shown in Fig. 2, and immediately 

 generate. Mr. Edwards says two kinds of cyanide may be used — potassium and 

 sodium — but from exhaustive experiments he finds sodium cyanide in every way pref- 

 erable to potassium. This cyanide may be 

 used from half an ounce to two ounces per 

 100 cubic feet, according to the nature of the 

 plants and insects to be fumigated. 



We are the sole agents in the United 

 States and Canada for this machine and offer 

 it as follows: $275 each; sodium cyanide, 

 $1.50 per lb. ; glass measures, 50 cts. 



The Newport Nozzle- 

 Sprayer 



This sprayer is undoubtedly the best 

 article of its kind ever placed upon the mar- 

 ket. The "spoon" is adjustable. With a 

 screw-lever (see Fig. i) the spray can be 

 made as fine as dew, or with the force and 

 strength of a pelting rain. Excellent for 

 " getting under " foliage of roses, palms, etc., 

 where force is needed to keep down red 

 spider, etc. Price, made of brass, $1 50 each, 

 ^t.s per doz. 



Fumigating by Hydrocyanic Acid Gas 



For some months there has been a considerable amount of correspondence 

 in horticultural journals regarding the use of hydrocyanic acid gas as a fumi- 

 gant for destroying insects. The writers generally are agreed upon its merits, 

 but several deprecate its use on account of the danger to the life of the operator. 



Mr. F. C. Edwards, nurseryman and seedsman. Warehouse Hill, Leeds, 

 has now invented a cyaniding machine which practically removes all danger 

 and makes cyaniding a very simple operation with no risk to the operator, as 

 he is outside the house when the gas is generated, providing the instructions 

 given with the machine are adhered to. The two diagrams which we repro- 

 duce from drawings show the simplicity of the invention. To begin, the 

 machine should be suspended from the roof of the greenhouse, then pour into 

 the bowl the requisite quantity of water and sulphuric acid, and it is essential 

 to pour in the water first, thereafter add the sulphuric acid and stir with a stick 

 until mixed, and place the bowl in the machine as in Fig. i. The scoop 

 above the bowl is then placed in position and is kept level by means of a lever, 

 to which a string is attached. At this point the other end of the string must 

 betaken outside the house. It maybe taken under the door or through the 

 keyhole, or through a ventilator, as is most convenient to the operator or plan 

 of the house. Having got the string in order for pulling the lever, place the 

 necessary quantity of
