Strawberry Plants. 
We arc growing an Immense stocfe of 
JUC1L\DA-0UR NO. 70®, 
and other leading Strawberries, in 2, S, and 4 inch pots, 
which can be transplanted now or at any time, and 
are much tlie most economical plants to buy. They will 
carry any distance with entire safety— cannot fail to make a 
strong and vigorous growth, and will bear a very abundant 
crop of fruit next summer. If desirable, they will produce 
by the coining fall, a large quantity of plants, worth many 
times the cost of original stock.

PURIFIER. 
CRESYLIC SOAP 
Saponaceous Compounds. 
Disinfectant, Insect Destroyer, Pre- 
ventive of Fungus, etc. 
Frequent mention has been mode in tlie columns of the 
American Agriculturist of Cresylic Compounds, as being 
valuable lor destroying insccis on animals and plants, and 
for other purposes. For some months past we have been 
investigating the merits of these preparations, with the 
following results. 
Cresylic Acid is extracted from pas-tar, to which it gives 
the peculiar odor perceived on burning the tar. It has been 
used to a limited extent by chemists and physicians, for va- 
rious purposes, and their experiments have shown it to pos- 
sess remarkable properties as a disinfectant, and in destroy- 
ing insect life and fungus growth. In its ordinary form it 
could not be readily applied, and hence was not available 
for common use. About two years since, Messrs. JAMES 
BUCHAN & CO., of New York, well-known as extensive 
manufacturers of family soaps, conceived the idea of com- 
bining this acid in saponaceous compounds. By long and 
careful experimenting, they succeeded in producing soaps 
in various forms, possessing the active properties of this 
acid, and thus bringing it within the reach of all classes. 
These compounds have been patented. 
"We have watched with great interest the results of vari- 
ous applications of these compounds, knowing that if suc- 
cessful, they would be of incalculable benefit to the commu- 
nity. By tests made under our own supervision, and the re- 
ports of careful observers, we believe it to be established 
that these Cresylic Compounds are 
1st. Complete Disinfectants.— They not only re- 
move all noxious odors from sink-;, privies, stables, etc., but 
will destroy all infection iu clothing, rooms, etc., washed 
witli their solution. Thus, contagion from Small Pox, 
Typhus Fever, Cholera, and other diseases, may be effectu- 
ally prevented.' They are used in the Xcw York and other 
Hospitals for these purposes. 
Sri. Insect Destroyers.— An animal washed with 
Cresylic Soap will be entirely freed from all vermin. It 
will destroy ticks on sheep, fleas on dogs, lice en cattle or 
poultry, roaches, ants, bedbugs, etc, iu rooms. It repels 
flies from animals, and tuns is especially useful iu case of 
wounds or sores from any cause. 
Sofarnstricd.it has been efficacious in repelling insects 
from plants. Y\"c desire to have it more thoroughly tested 
for this purpose, and reports to be made. We believe it will 
free plants from Aphides, bark lice, slugs, bugs, catcrpilhu^ 
striped bugs, curculio, and the whole host of minute but 
powerful enemies in the garden and fruit yard. 
3d. Preventive of Fungus GrowtH.— On this 
point we ask for further experiment. We feel confident this 
soap, properly applied, will prevent smut In wheat, mildew 
on vines, and similar parasitic growth, and trust that exper- 
imenters will furnish the result of their trials. 
4t!i. Cleaning Sores, etc.— For washing ulcers and 
al sores, and preventing gangrene iu wounds, etc, 
Cresylic Soap is, we believe, uneqnaled. We know also that 
it has been successful wherever used, for foot rot in sheep, 
and mange, itch* ring-worm, and other skin diseases. 
Desiring that our readers should be benefited by the ex- 
tended introduction of what we believe to be so valuable, we 
have established a general agency for the sale of these 
componnds^ at our branch office, Xo. 41 Park Bow, and are 
prepared to till orders at wholesale or retail, at the follow- 
ing prices.
