Messrs. Carlton, Contractors for the painting 
of the Glasgow Exhibition of 1888, write: 
“ Py order of the Directors we applied this Shading to 
the glass roofing of the Glasgow Exhibition , and found it 
possessed or eat a dvantages over all other preparations ice 
had met with. Being applied, cold it was most convenient 
to use, and while it resisted the action of the rain the whole 
season it was at once easily removed by gentle rubbing after 
wetting. It afforded a cool and pleasant shade , at same 
time admitting an abundance of light."

The GARDENERS’ MAGAZINE, of 
21st June, 1890, says : 
Observations in several quarters in the past two years have 
convinced us that the *• Perfect" Weed Killer of the Horti¬ 
cultural and Agricultural Chemical Company , 97 Milton 
Street^ Glasgow , is the very thing that has long been wanted. 
T/iis is at once simple , cheap , and effective , and requires 
only reasonable care to ensure perfect action and lasting 
results. At the Roy al Gardens, Kew, the R.B.S, Garde ns 
at Chiswick , and other public places near London , the 
" perfect ” Weed Killer is trusted for making a clean sweep 
of the road weeds, ona, therefore, plays an important part 
in the keeping of the roads."
