PURITY AND HEALTH. 
CARBOLIC SOAPS 
AND 
Saponaceous Compounds 
OF 
Carbolic and Cresylic Acids. 
Disinfectant, Insect Destroyer, Pre¬ 
ventive of Fungus, etc. 
We have watched with great interest the results of vari¬ 
ous applications of these compounds, knowing that if suc¬ 
cessful, they would he of incalculable benefit to the commu¬ 
nity. By tests made under our own supervision, and the re- 
pcu't 9 of careful observers, we believe it t« he established 
that these Cresylic Compounds are 
1st. Complete Disinfectants.—They not only re¬ 
move all noxHus odors from sinks, privies, stables, etc., but 
will destroy all infection in clothing, rooms, etc., washed 
with their solution. Thus, contagion from Small Pox, Typhus 
Fever, Cholera, and other diseases, may be effectually pre¬ 
vented. They are used in the New York and other Hospitals 
for these purposes. 
2d. Insect. Destroyers.—An animal washed witli 
Carbolic Soap will he entirely freed from all vermin. It 
will destroy ticks on sheep, fleas on dogs, lice on cattle or 
poultry, roaches, ants, bed-bugs, etc., in rooms. It repels 
flies from animals, and thus is especially useful in case of 
wounds or sores from any cause. 
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, ami similar parasitic growth, and trust that exper¬ 
imenters will furnish the result of their trials. 
4th. Cleaning Sores, etc.—For washing ulcers and 
other foul sores, and preventing gangrene in wounds, etc., 
Carbolic Soap is, we believe, unequaled. We know also that 
it has been successful wherever used, for footrot in sheep, 
and mange, itch, ring-worm, and other skin diseases. 
Desiring that our readers should he benefited by the ex¬ 
tended introduction of what we believe to he so valuable, 
we have established a general agency for the sale of these 
compounds, keeping them constantly on hand, and are pre¬ 
pared to fill orders at wholesale or retail, at the following

“DANDELION TIME” 
By MRS. LILLY M. SPENCER. 
The Publishers of the American Agriculturist have 
purchased of the artist this beautiful painting, and have 
issued it as a Chromo, designing thus to enable very 
many to secure it, as an ornament and source of 
pleasure in their homes. Mrs. Lilly M. Spencer has al¬ 
ready won an honorable name in art. Though of a poetic 
imagination, and the author of many paintings which 
comprise classical and allegorical subjects, she is best 
known for her pictures of domestic life. Her works of 
this class have been reproduced in colored lithographs 
and other forms, and through these, her name has become 
a familiar one throughout the country. Finding that 
pictures of a domestic character, with something of the 
humorous in them, were more' popular than those to 
which her natural tastes inclined her, Mrs. S. for some 
years painted such subjects almost exclusively. Her 
“Shake Hands,” “Jolly Washerwoman,” “The Gos¬ 
sips,” and others, are known to all lovers of pictures. 
They are full of life and meaning, and at the same time 
finished with an accuracy and detail that few artists 
attempt. Among her latest productions are “ War Times 
at Home,” “The Home of the Red, White, and Blue,” 
“The Starry Flag,” “Beauty to the Brave,” etc. In the 
beautiful picture now offered, culled 
“DANDELION TIME/’ 
three children, of whom the youngest is a plump, rosy 
babe, and a huge Newfoundland dog which they have 
decked with a dandelion wreath, are represented out at 
play upon the green grass. This Chromo is done in the 
best style, by Hermann Bencke, whose work equals any 
thing of the kind done in this country. The scene is full 
of happy life and cannot fail to delight both old and 
young. 
The picture would prove an ornament in any home, 
and be a most beautiful and acceptable present to make 
to a friend. It is 13X18 inches in size, mounted on linen, 
and will be sent by mail, iu a tube, with all materials 
and directions for stretching. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $6.00. 
If preferred, the picture will be sent by express, mount¬ 
ed on artists’ board, sill ready for framing, on receipt of 
the price, $0.00, the purchaser to pay express charges. 
If ordered in a frame, it will be sent by express, care¬ 
fully boxed, on receipt of prices, as follows: 
In a neat Black-Walnut Frame, gilt l>a? 1.$ 9.00. 
“ “ “ “ wider .it band.. 10.00. 
“ carved edged “ “ 11.00. 
“ beautiful gilt “ best quality.. 15.00. 
If taken with a frame at the store, 245 Broadway, the 
charge for boxing, which is 75 cents, will be deducted 
from these prices. In all cases where sent by express, 
the purchaser will pay express charges.

Practical Floriculture; 
A GUIDE TO THE 
Successful Propagation and Cultivation 
OF 
FLORISTS’ PLANTS. 
BY 
PETER HENDERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening fob Profit.” 
BERGEN CITY, N. J. 
Mr. Henderson is known as the largest Commercial 
Florist in the country. Iu the present work he gives a 
full account of his modes of propagation and cultivation. 
It is adapted to the wants of the amateur, as well as the 
professional grower. 
NOTICES BY FLORISTS AND OTHERS. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that 
has ever been published on this subject. We are selling 
them rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes 
the “ secrets ” of the Trade too freely, and that it will 
make Gardeners and Propagators so plenty that our oc¬ 
cupation, like Othello’s, will be gone. H. A. Dreer, 
Seedsman and Florist, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Truly “ practical,” and ought to be in the hands of 
every one engaged in the culture of Flowers. 
T. C. Maxwell & Bros., Geneva, N. Y. 
It might be entitled “ Floriculture Made Easy.” I do 
not see why any one with ordinary common sense should 
not succeed, with this book in his hands. 
L. C. Lishy, Florist, Nashville, Tenn. 
No work ever before published in this country was 
practically valuable to those in want of direct informa¬ 
tion (upon this subject). Wm. Saunders, 
Sup’t Dep’t of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it 
tells him clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its 
simple teachings are followed. 
Galvin & Geraghty, Florists, Newport, R. I. 
What is wonderful, the most of our Professional Flo¬ 
rists here frankly admit their indebtedness to the work 
for information and suggestions. I am only an amateur 
in flowers, but feel gratefully indebted to its author for 
the pleasure its perusal has given. 
George W. Sanders, Baltimore, Md. 
Without exception the most practical work on Flori¬ 
culture in the English language. A11 the prosy fossils of 
—-- Sc., I consign to the lumber room. I shall order 
a dozen from the publishers to give to my friends. 
James Fleming, Nurseryman and Florist, 
Toronto, Canada. 
Complete in all its departments, a thoroughly common- 
sense book, valuable to all interested in Plants and 
Flowers. Geo. W. Campbell, Nurseryman, Delaware, O. 
We have been asked hundreds of times by our custom¬ 
ers for a work on flowers ; now we get something credit¬ 
able to recommend. Elliott Bros. & Burgess, Florists, 
Pittsburgh, Pa. 
Apart from its great working value, the book is de¬ 
lightful reading. Miss Anna Warner, 
“The Island,” West Point, N. Y. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel. 
New York Sun. 
A worthy contribution to every votary of Flora; style 
comprehensive, sharp and decisive, just what was to be 
expected from its well-known author. 
F. K. Phknix, Bloomington, Ill. 
Full to overflowing with valuable information.
