BARR & SUGDEN, AGENTS, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, FOR 
McDougall’s Phosphatio Manure, prepared by these eminent chemists with great care for Plants 
in conservatories, greenhouses, stoves, flower beds and borders, and for vine and peach borders, vines in 
pots, orchard-house plants, and kitchen-garden crops. It induces early maturity and a free, vigorous 
growth, producing more richly-coloured and perfectly- formed flowers, larger, better coloured,- and finer 
flavoured, fruits, and superior vegetables than can be had by using farm-yard manure only, liquid manure, 
or guano. The Phosphatic Manure possesses the stimulating properties of the finest Peruvian G uano 
with a large proportion of soluble phosphates which furnish a supply of food till the crops are matured, 
and it does not leave the soil impoverished, which is the case when stimulating compounds are used, but 
increases its fertility. Messrs. John Standish «fc Co., Royal Nurseries, Ascot, who have extensively used 
this manure, say : — “ We find the Phosphatic Manure of great use : it seems to suit everything. We put 
2 lbs. of it to a barrow-load of potting soil, and it is wonderful how the plants root into it and flourish. 
It is also used by sprinkling it on the surface and watering in, and it may be used as a liquid manure.” 
Sample canisters, Is. and 2s. 6c?. ; 141b. bag, 5 s. 6 cl. ; £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, <fcc., per 1£ cwt. bag, 25$., or 18$. per cwt. 
Considerable advantage is given if purchased by the ton. Terms on application. 
Lawson’s Phospho-Guano, prepared and made up in canisters for horticultural purposes, with 
directions for use. Of this manure Professor Liebig speaks as follows : — “ / can say with conviction that 
I never had in hand a better sort of artificial manure, far superior in its quality , and certainly also in its 
efficacy to the best Peruvian Guano.” Dr. Yoelcker says — (i I am of opinion that the Phospho-Guano is a 
uniformly prepared , highly concentrated , and more generally useful manure than Peruvian Guano.” In 
canisters, 1$. and 2s. 6d. each. 
The following valuable Garden Manures we also keep in stock, and can recommend. They are pure, 
and warranted of the best quality. The Peruvian Guano and Cubic Pefcre we have out of bond : — 
Peruvian Guano, Pure. — Tire 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 ; 
5c?. per lb. ; or in canisters, with printed directions for use, Is. and 2s. 6d. 
Cubic Petrb, 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, <fcc., 
the results are most satisfactory ; bd. per lb. ; or in canisters, with printed directions* Is. and 2s. 6d.

with printed directions, Is. and 2s. 6c?. 
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. 6c?, 
BARR & SUGDEN, AGENTS, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, FOR 
FOWLER’S GARDENERS’ INSECTICIDE.—' This we recommend as the best and safest article yet 
introduced for easily and effectually preventing and destroying Plant Insects, «fcc., such as Red 
Spider, Green and Black Fly, Ants, Mealy Bug, Scale, Thrip, American Blight, Mildew, 
Canker, &c., and without the slightest injury to Plant or Tree. For many years it has been fairly 
and honestly tested by thoroughly practical Gardeners, and it was owing to the high recommendation 
given to it by Mr. Barnes, the well-known nurseryman, that we were induced to take the agency.

moving the green fly. &c., from roses, geraniums, fuchsias, and other 
plants, in or out of doors. The hail's are soft and 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. 6c?. each; handles 
covered with velvet, 3s. 6c?. 
The Improved Paxton Fumi- 
gator. — Those who dislike the 
disagreeable process of fumi- 
gating houses in the ordinary 
way will find the Paxton 
Fumi gator to be all they 
could desire. It is simple and 
efficacious. The nozzle, cylin- 
der, and inner gratings are 
cast in brass, and will stand 
any reasonable amount of 
heat ; the Allows are strong and well made. The operator has simply to insert the nozzle through 
a small opening, and gently work the bellows till he has filled the house with smoke. When fumigating 
a single plant, screw on the brass tube to the nozzle, and by that means scorching the foliage will be 
avoided. 12s. 6c?. each ; superior finish, 15s. ; electro plated, 21s.
