CAREY’S MOUNTED PASTILLES 
This article is, without any doubt, the best of all the 
many preparations which have been produced fco supply 
the universal need of all engaged in the cultivation of 
plants, either largely or in a small way, for pleasure or for 
profit. So many of these having proved cither ineffectual, 
impracticable, or offensive, these Pastilles, against which 
none of these objections can be urged, will be welconied 
with delight. It will be seen by reference to the accom¬ 
panying cut which is three-quarters of the actual size, 
that they are far superior in point of convenience, to any' 
other fumigator. They are also clean and inoffensive 
and are in all respects the best article made for the 
purpose. The Holder, which is used in connection, is 
made of metal, handsomely' bronzed, and will last a life¬ 
time. While the Pastilles can be used without it, they 
will work, uniformly, better with it. 
DIItECTIONS FOR USING. 
Scratch the match end ; then hold it so that the blaze 
will strike against the end of the Pastille. If from any 
cause the Pastille fails to light, it can be lighted with a 
common match. As soon as the Pastille is lighted, place 
the lower end of the match in the holder (or in the earth in 
the flower pot); have a paper bag ready* to draw on over 
the plant and the pot, tie the open end of the bag around 
the pot to prevent the escape of the smoke. Allow the bag 
to remain from one to two hours, which will effectually de¬ 
stroy all the insects on the plant. A covered barrel, tub, 
or box will answer as well. 
The Pastilles are put up in boxes containing 1 dox. each
