Mr. E. MOLYNEUX, Swanmore Park Gardens, writes:— 
" I am much pleased with the Weed Killer. In addition to 
killing the Weeds effectually, the gravel on our paths is 
rendered particularly bright by its use.” 
Mr. J. HUDSON, Gunnersbury House Gardens, writes:— 
“I am glad to say the Weed Destroyer has given us every 
satisfaction ; it proved most effectual, and is a great saving of 
time and labour.” -

“ Dear Sirs —I have thoroughly tested a sample of a new 
Insecticide which you were so good as to send me. At the 
rate of 1 oz. to a gallon of water at a temperature of 95 0 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, with¬ 
out the slightest injury to leaf or flower, and it is withal a most 
agreeable compound to work with. All our insect remedies 
are applied through common syringe or garden engine, a much 
severer test of efficiency than when applied by hand-washing 
or spray. 
“I remain, Dear Sirs, yours truly (signed) A. MACKENZIE.

“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.
