HUGHES' Soluble 
Fir Tree 111 
FLORISTS & NURSERYMEN SHOULD ALL USE IT 
Unsurpassed as an insecticide for killing all Insect pests 
whether on the roots or on the foliage, without injury to 
the most delicate plants. It also imparts gloss and lustre 
to the foliage, which is so desirable for Exhibition purposes. 
Mr. R. Craig, President of the Florist Convention of 
America, says: “After trying all Insecticides that I 
could-learn about, I have come to the conclusion that 
Fir Tree Oil is the best for all purposes, and I feel con¬ 
vinced there is nothing to come up to it in the Market.” 
Dog Fanciers should always use it for Washing their 
Animals, a small quantity in the Water will make their 
Coats Silky, and produce a healthy Skin Action. It kills 
all parasites, and makes'the Hair look Beautiful. 
Used in the water for Washing Fabrics—it acts as a 
Disinfectant, Bleacher and Cleanser, and should always 
be used for Washing Fine Linen Goods. 
It kills Insect life on Man, Animals, Birds, and Plants 
without any fear of injurious effects. It is invaluable for 
all Animals and Birds when they are washed. 
Sold by all Seedsmen and Chemists, 1/6, 2/6, 4/6; 
J-Gallon 7/6, 1 -Gallon 12/6, or less in larger quantities.
