the Cabbage Worm (Fieri ,■i rapes) and Turnips, and other 
lants from destruction by insects injurious to vegetation, 
n addition to protecting the plants by driving oft' the worms, 
bugs, etc., this compound acts as a powerful fertilizer. 
Mr. P. T. Quinn, of Newark, N. J„ Horticultural Editor of 
the New York Weekly Tribune, who used this mixture last 
year with great success on upwards of 40,000 Cabbages, 
writes in the Weekly Tribune, May 17,1871: 
“ It serves as a fertilizer, besides as an effective remedy 
against this voracious pest of the Cabbage plant; at least, 
this was my experience last year.”

Wo make only ono style, and havo but one price for onr Pianos, 
which are all made from thoroughly aonsoned and kiln-dried mate¬ 
rials, and have seven octaves—rosewood case—carved logs and lyre 
—large square grand overstrung scale—front round corners—serpen¬ 
tine bottom—iron plate—French action—and aro all warranted five 
years. Wo have no agents, and allow no commissions or discounts 
to any one. This explains how wo can sell a good Piano for $290, 
which is about the price Piano dealers pay to manufacturers for instruments 
similar to ours. Piano dealers are allowed by all manufacturers, except our¬ 
selves, to add 100 per cent., and upward, profit to all sales. This the public 
can prove by investigation to be strictly true. Tiano dealers, teachers, pro¬ 
fessors, and everybody else, are excluded from any and every possibility of a 
single cent of commission on our Pianos. If you wish a Piano sent for trial, 
you must make the matter of reference and payment unquestionable ; and if 
the instrument is in any respect inferior to any Piano made in the known 
world at any price, you may send it back to us at the end ol ten days’ trial. 
Instead of paving for it. ff yon order a Piano sent, we have one request to 
make ; ana that is, that the trial shall be made by parties who are not in¬ 
terested in other Pianos. Please send for our Circulars containing full par¬ 
ticulars and references to bankers, merchants, and families, in thirty-five 
States and Territories, who are using our Pianos, Address or apply to the
