The Thames Bank Iron Company, 
UPPER GROUND ST., BLACKFRIARS, S.E. (Telegraphic Address—HOTWATER, LONDON. Telephone—No. 4763), 
Have now pleasure in bringing to the notice of Horticulturists and Gardeners generally 
THE CHAMPION HORIZONTAL TUBULAR BOILER (!S.) 
WHICH IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST ALL-ROUND BOILER IN THE MARKET. 
It combines all the advantages of its class so well 
known, and by the improved method of forming the 
joints—viz., with India Rubber Washers, THE 
OLD AND TOO OFTEN INEFFECTUAL WAY 
OF CAULKING THE JOINTS IS ENTIRELY 
DISPENSED WITH. 
It can be erected in a few hours, and may be relied 
upon as a thoroughly sound and good Hot-water 
Generator. It has been carefully tested in every 
possible way, more especially with regard to power 
and durability, and the result has been highly 
satisfactory. 
In the event of a Pipe in this Boiler“requiring to 
be replaced, an arrangement has been perfected 
whereby the same may be made in the course of a 
FEW MINUTES, without the necessity of dis¬ 
turbing the brickwork setting.

pleased to say I found your Insecticide all I could desire after a good trial. Safe for the most tender-foli; 
•-foliaged plants. 
I can confidently recommend it to anyone, 
From Mr. G. VILLIERS, Nurseryman and Florist, Trumpington Road, Cambridge. 
. " e nave 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 8c 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 qiuntity 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 Tre es, and it is an instantaneous cure.’
