The Patent Invincible Crock keeps out Worms and all 
Vermin; saves time, expense, and annoyance; fits any pot; 
lasts many years. Mr.J. Gilbert, Gardener to Lord Willoughby 
Eresby writes: “Dear Sir—Please send me 200 Invincible 
Crocks. Last year I had a lew given me for trial. I used 
them in Chrysanthemum pots which were plunged to the rim 
in soil. Your simple invention was most efficacious in keep¬ 
ing the pots free of worms and all traces of vermin. When 
better known it must command an extensive sale.”

he disappointments which frequently attend other fumiga¬ 
ting materials.
