Life to Plants-Soft Water. 
HARD WATER is hurtful and destructive to Plant life in every way. Instead 
of nourishing the roots it arrests growth, and often causes the foliage to lose its freshness 
and colour. Delicate Pot Plants, Shrubs, &c., are frequently spoiled simply from the use 
of Hard Water. 
SOFT WATER is the natural sustenance of flowers, plants, &c., and for the 
proper cultivation of Orchids, Ferns, &c., Soft Water is an absolute necessity, its use 
also greatly assists the growth of fine Vegetables. 
“ S ANTI-C ALC AIR Ei™, 
EFFECTUALLY SOFTENS THE HARDEST WATER AT SMALL COST. 
NURSERYMEN and GARDENERS will also find it a great saving to soften 
the water with “ Anti-Oalcaire ” before it enters the Boiler, as it effects a great economy 
of fuel, entirely prevents the incrustation of Boilers and Pipes, prevents explosions and 
premature cracking, and avoids the troublesome labour of cleaning out the boilers. 
Maignen s Patent Automatic "Water Softening Apparatus can he fixed to existing 
Cisterns, and be made available for softening the whole of the water in Gentlemen’s 
Mansions, Institutions, Large Nurseries, Laundries, &c. 
M/UGNEN'S "ANTI-CALCAIRE" is supplied in Tins 2d.. 6d.. 2s., 3 6d., and 7s. each. A 6d. Tin
