Patent FOG ANNIHILAT0R 
A System of Ventilating all 
kinds of Plant Houses. It has 
been thoroughly tested this 
winter, and proved to be suc¬ 
cessful in preventing the fog and 
smoke from injuring even the 
choicest Orchids in the centre 
of the East End of London. 
We are now prepared to apply 
this system to any form of 
Greenhouse, Conservatory or 
Hothouse, insuring a constant 
supply of pure air to plants 
night and day, and will guarantee its efficiency. Can be seen in 
operation at any time._
