“PIC REN A,” 
THE UNIVERSAL INSECTICIDE, 
SAFE—ECONOMICAL—EFFECTUAL, 
FOR 
GREEN 1 and BLACK FLY, AMERICAN BLIGHT. RED 
SPIDER. CAMELLIA SCALE. MEALY BUG. BROWN 
and WHITE SCALE. WORMS, WOOD LICE. &c. 
“ 15, Princes Street, Edinburgh, 15th July, 1S-S7. 
“Dear Sirs— I have thoroughly tested a sample of a new 
Insecticide which you were so good as to send me. At the 
lv.te of 1 oz. to a gallon of water at a temperature of 95' I find it 
kills Green-fly immediately. Double this strength, or 2 ozs. to 
gallon at 120% seals the fate of Scale of all sorts in a few seconds; 
while 3 ozs. to gallon at same temperature effectually dissolves 
Mealy Bug, and so far as I have yet observed, without the 
slightest, injury to leaf or flower, and it is withal a most agree¬ 
able compound to work with. All our insect remedies are 
applied through common syringe or garden eDgine, a much 
severer test of efficiency than when applied by hand-washing or 
spray. 
“ I remain, DearSirs, yours truly (signed) A. MACKENZIE.”

“Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, Upper Holloway, 
London, 7th January, 1SSS. 
“Gentlemen —I have given your Insecticide, ‘ Picrena,’ a 
good trial in competition^with many others. I am pleased to 
say that I have found it more effectual in destroying Mealy Bug 
and other insects than anything we have used. It ought to 
command a good sale.
