17. Perpetuated April or Bearded Red Spring Wheat (Raynbird).— 

 This wheat only succeeded moderately well, and did not show any special 

 merits. 



18. Phospho-Nicotyl (Voss). — This is said to be destructive to mice, 

 wood-lice, &c, but we did not find it very effectual. 



19. Potato Fertiliser (Massey). — A very good manure on the light soil 

 at Wisley for potatoes. 



20. Sulphide of Potassium (Voss). — An excellent remedy for mildew 

 on roses or similar plants when used at the rate of J oz. dissolved in one 

 gallon of water and applied as a fine spray. In bad cases we used h oz. to. 

 the gallon of water with no injury to the plants. 



21. Syringes (The Compact Manufacturing Co.). — Four syringes were 

 sen$ for trial. 1 inch x 20 inches is a very handy syringe for delicate 

 things such as choice ferns, orchids, &c, as it sends out a fine mist-like 

 spray. H inch x 18 inches was too weak in the shaft, and soon broke 

 (ordinary). 1\ inch x 18 inches : a very useful syringe with an 

 elbowed nozzle, very good for syringing on the under side of foliage, or 

 for ordinary purposes. 1^ inch x 18 inches : an improvement on the 

 last-named syringe with a special nozzle. 



22. Tree Clips (Creak). — Not a success ; the clips break in strong 

 wind, and the sharp edges of the clip cut the tree. 



23. Veitch's Horticultural Manure (J. Veitch). — After many years' 

 trial of this, we confirm our previous reports of its value for all plants, 

 fruits, or vegetables. 



24. Veitch's Secateurs (J. Veitch). — In our opinion this is the best 

 Secateur on the market. 



25. Wellson's Manure (Wellson). — A first-rate manure. Tried on pot 

 fruit trees the results were very satisfactory, likewise on other fruit- 

 bearing plants and trees. 



26. Worm- killer (Carter). — Not quite satisfactory.
