“15, Princes Street, Edinburgh, i 5th July, 1887. 
“ 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 wbrk 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.

“Victoria and Paradise Nurseries, Upper Holloway, 
London, yth January, 1888. 
“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.
