From Mr. R. TURVEY, Head Gardener to Sir Richard Webster. Q.C , M.P.. Winterfoid Gardens, Cranleigh, Surrey. 
“ Yours is the best Insecticide that has come under my notice. It not only destroys the pests, but imparts a healthy look 
to the plants." • - 
From Mr, F. ASH, The Gardens, Government House, Royal Milita.ry College, Yorktown, Surrey.

I can confidently recommend it to anyone.” --- 
From Mr. G. VILLIERS, Nurseryman and Florist, Trumpington Road. Cambridge. 
“We have given ‘ Demon ’ Insecticide a fair trial, and believe it to be the best preparation for the destruction of insects, &c., 
infesting plant life. We shall continue to use it and recommend it to our friends. ” 
From J. VIVIAN, Esq., Rose Cottage, Driffield. 
“ As an amateur grower and lover of plants, I have during the last 35 years tried the majority of the popular Insecticides and 
some mixtures of my own; many of them have been good, and many have had dangerous properties, but taking all these circum¬ 
stances into account, I do not hesitate to repeat that I consider your Insecticide the best, the most cleanly, pleasant, and 
effectual I have met with." 
From Messrs. POPE & SONS, Florists and Nurserymen Birmingham. 
“ We are well satisfied with your Insecticide, and believe it to be the best and cheapest dressing now in the market. We 
have dipped a large quantity of Pelargonium infected with green-fly, and it has quite cleaned them. We have used it exclusively 
for Mildew, Mealy Bug, &c., also for American Blight on Fruit Trees, and it is an instantaneous cure.’_
