32 BARR & SUGDEN’S AUTUMNAL [1868. 
STANDEN’S GARDENERS’ AND AMATEURS’ FRIEND MANURE.— The finest fertiliser 
which has yet been produced for all kinds of plants in pots and in the open ground, for improving grass 
lawns, and for producing superior kitchen garden crops. The gardening community have had the oppor- 
tunity of testing this manure for the last twelve years, and it is specially worthy of remark that those 
who have used it longest speak most highly of the extraordinary results produced by it. We may just 
remark that Mr. Baines, Nurseryman, Camberwell, one of the most successful and intelligent horticul- 
turists of the day, uses this exclusively for his pot. Vines, Azaleas, Camellias, and all such plants as are 
benefited by manure. Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, Mr. Charles Turner, Slough, Messrs. 
J. and C. Lee, Hammersmith, Messrs. E. G. Henderson and Son, St. John’s Wood, and Messrs. Hugh 
Lowe and Co., Clapton, regularly use this manure; and Mr. John Standish, the well-known nurseryman 
at Ascot, uses it very largely, and calls it “ the wonderful manure.” We could quote a host of private 
gardeners and nurserymen around London, and all over the country, who use this extensively. In several 
instances extraordinary Strawberries (produced under glass) which had been fed with this manure, were 
exhibited last spring, before the Fruit Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. Sample Canisters, 
1$. and 2s. 6c/. each ; Larger Canisters, bs. G c/., 10s. Gd., and 21s. each. It is sold in two qualities : No. 1 
for hard-wooded plants, such as Azaleas, Camellias, Roses, Fruit Trees, <&c., and for the open ground ; 
and No. 2 for soft-wooded plants, such as Geraniums, Bulbs, *fcc. 
McDOUGALL BROTHERS’ PHOSPHATIC MANURE — Prepared by these eminent chemists 
with the greatest care, for Flowering Plants, in pots or in the open ground, causing them to produce 
larger, more perfectly formed, and richer coloured flowers, than could be obtained by using either liquid 
manure or guano. For vine and peach borders, vines in pots, and orchard house plants, it is very superior 
to farm-yard manure, and for kitchen garden crops the advantage of the Phosphatic Manure is obvious, 
when we state that it possesses the stimulating properties of the purest Peruvian Guano, and, in addition, 
contains a large percentage of soluble phosphates, which furnish a supply of food till the crops are 
matured; it also prevents the soil becoming impoverished, as is the case when stimulating compounds 
only are used. Crops to which it is applied arrive at maturity earlier, and are more delicate in flavour, 
than those which have been manured in the ordinary way or with guano. Sample canisters, Is. and 
2s. 6 d. ; 14 lb. bag, 5s. Gd. ; £cwt. do., 10s. ; £ cwt. do., 18s. ; 1 cwt. do., 35s. We also supply an excellent 
Phosphatic Manure, by the same eminent chemists, for agricultural purposes, and which can be applied to 
all kinds of green crops, wheat, grass, tfcc., per 1£ cwt. bag, 25s., or 18s. per cwt. Terms for this latter, 
per ton, on application. 
The following valuable Garden Manures we also keep in stock, and can recommend them. They are 
pure, and warranted of the best quality in the market. The Peruvian Guano and Cubic Petre we have 
out of bond : — 
Peruvian Guano, Pure. — The most stimulating, and, at the same time, the most rapidly available food 
for Plants generally, and being perfectly soluble, it is the most easily converted into Liquid Manure ; 
bd. per lb. ; or in canisters, with printed directions for use, Is. and 2s. 6 d. 
Cubic Petre, Pure. — This is used largely as a dressing for Grass and Green Crops, and the effect on these 
is quickly perceptible. In a liquid state applied to Fuchsias, Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Celery, &c., 
the results are most satisfactory ; 5c/. per lb. ; or in canisters, with printed directions, Is. and 2s. 6d. 
Sulphate op Ammonia, Pure. — An exceedingly useful stimulant, which may advantageously be applied 
to Grass, Potatoes, Ac., and. in a liquid state, to Flowers in beds and borders, and to Chrysanthemums 
in or out of pots ; bd. per lb. ; or in canisters, with printed directions, Is. and 2s. Gd. 
Crushed Bones. — This we recommend for Vine Borders, mixing with the soil in planting Fruit Trees, 
and also mixing with potting soils for such plants as Pelargoniums, etc. ; 4c/. per lb. ; or in canisters, 
with printed directions, Is. and 2s. Gd. 
Dissolved Bones. — This is a very superior superphosphate of lime; it is chiefly used for Grass, but if 
sprinkled on the surface of the soil of Flower Beds and Borders, its action on the Plants is most bene- 
ficial, and it also is an effectual preventive against the depredations of snails and slugs ; 4c/. per lb. ; or 
in canisters, with printed directions, Is. and 2s. Gd. 
INSECTICIDES. 
LONDON AGENTS, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, FOR — 
Fowler’s Gardeners’ Insecticide. — This is the best and safest preparation which has yet been intro- 
duced for easily and effectually preventing and destroying plant insects, &c., such as red spider, green 
AND BLACK FLY, ANT, MEALY BUG, SCALE, TIIRIP, AMERICAN BLIGHT, MILDEW, CANKER, &C., and 
without the slightest injury to the plant or tree. It is now used by the leading gardeners and nursery- 
men, and from the unqualified terms in which it has been spoken of by them, we confidently recommend 
it to our customers. Sold in jars at Ls. 6c/., 3s., 5s. GcZ., and 10s. each. 
The Aphis Wash. — A very excellent article, which has been much recommended by Mr. Shirley 
Ilibberd ; it destroys aphis, red spider, blight, i&c. Sold in jars, ls. each. 
The Gishurst Compound. — The value of this insecticide is known to almost every gardener. Sold in 
boxes, Is., 3s., and 10s. Gd. each. 
Pooley’s Tobacco Powder. — This insecticide is dusted over the plants when the leaves are moist, and 
is considered an excellent remedy for the destruction of blight, mildew, and insects. To amateurs who 
attend to their own plants, and to whom it would be inconvenient to use any of the above remedies, 
Pooley’s Tobacco Powder will be a boon. It simply requires to be placed in a distributor, and puffed 
over the plants. To cultivators of roses, ferns, &-c., it will be found valuable. Sold in canisters, Is., 
2s. G d., and 5s. each ; Tobacco Powder Distributors, 2s. 6c/., 3s. Gt/., and bs. each. 
Scott’s Wasp-Destroying Mixture.— This preparation has been highly spoken of, and strongly recom- 
mended for getting rid of wasps in vineries, peach-houses, &c., and as every one knows the destructive- 
ness of these pests, they will readily welcome anything that will assist in their destruction. Sold in 
bottles, l.s. Gd. and 2s. Gd. each.

Aphis Brush. — The amateur will find this brush invaluable for remov- 
ing the green fly,dc., from roses, geraniums, fuchsias, and other plants, 
in or out of doors. The hairs are soft aud flexible, so that when the 
tender shoot is passed between the brushes it is freed from the insects, 
and is uninjured by the process. 2s. Gd. eacli ; handles covered with 
velvet, 3s. Gd.
