MISCELLANEOUS IMPLEMENTS, MANURES, &c, AT 

 CHISWICK, 1902. 



Beetlecute (Valls). 



A non-poisonous powder that is deadly to ants, beetles, and cock- 

 roaches, and is invaluable where these pests are troublesome. 



Cement Nonex (Street). 



A dark slate-coloured cement that sets very hard, with a very smooth 

 surface, on stone, brickwork, and hotwater-pipe joints. 



Chelsea Horticultural Manure (J. Veitch). 



For the third season in succession, this manure has proved its value 

 for all pot plants, Vines, and Peaches, but for Figs especially it is the 

 best chemical manure we have tried. 



Frame (Burton). 



A very good two-light frame, glazed with 21-oz. glass, and very portable. 

 By removing a few bolts, the frame is easily taken to pieces, and readily 

 moved for a long or short distance, or could be packed in a small space 

 under cover when not in use. 



Ipswich Broom (Flowers). 



A wide, flat birch broom, the twigs of which are kept in place by a 

 removable screwed plate, making it easy to fill again when the twigs are 

 worn. A capital broom for sweeping-up leaves or cut grass. 



Ivorine Label (Hughes). 



In this garden the writing on these labels quickly becomes coated with 

 a thick black film, covering the writing. 



Powder-distributing Bellows (M. de Luzy Freres). 



One of the most useful implements we have tried for distributing 

 sulphur or tobacco powder. The powder is blown in a very fine shower, 

 covering all the foliage evenly, with very little waste of powder. 



Secateur, Improved Double-cutting (J. Veitch). 



This is by far the best pruning implement we know, being remarkably 

 easy to work, handy in size, and making very clean cuts. 



Three-pronged Watering Tool (Robertson). 



A tool intended to make holes in the ground in dry weather to permit 

 water passing into the soil freely. A good steel fork is quite as service- 

 able, and more convenient to use. 



Weed Extractor (Beach). 



A small, narrow-headed tool for pulling up weeds. In damp weather 

 it acts very well for uprooting Daisies, Plantains, and Dandelions on 

 lawns.
