and without soiling everything else near. In 
fact it sprinkles in nature’s own way, just like 
rain. May also be used for sprinkling clothes, 
spraying carpets and clothing to prevent moths, 
spraying disinfectants in the sick-room, and deodorizing. Preferable in every way to the dipper or tin 
watering pot. Price, 6-oz., bent neck, 75 As., postpaid. 
Nikoteen, It is composed of that element in tobacco which gives it its value as an insecticide and 
nothing else. While quite expensive, it is so concentrated that only a very small quantity is needed in 
spraying— one teaspoonful to one quart of water being sufficient to kill green-fly on house plants, and near- 
ly all insects on rose bushes and shrubs in open air. (Circular upon application.) Price, per pint, $1.50. «
