“15, Princes Street, Edinbi rgh, 15th July, 18S7. 
Dear Sirs—I have thoroughly tested a sample of anew 
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 j ozs. to gallon at same temperature effectually 
dissolves Mealy Bug, and so far as I have yet obser ed, 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-v\ ashing 
or spray.

“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.
