The GARDENERS’ MAGAZINE of 
June 21st, 1890, says : — 
"Observations in several quarters in the past two years 
have convinced us that the “ Perfect" Weed Killer of the 
Horticultural and Agricultural Chemical Company, 97, 
Milton Street, Glasgow, is the very thing that has long been 
wan'ed. This is at once simple, cheap and effective, and 
requires only reasonable care to ensure perfect action and 
lasting results. The cleanliness of the walks in the 
beautiful grounds of the Royal Gardens, Kew, the R.H.S. 
Gardens at Chiswick, and other public places nea.r London 
are among the features that give satisfaction and bring 
credit to their several managers. In the important places 
named the “Perfect ” Weed Killer is trusted for making a 
clean sweep of the road weeds, and, therefore, plays an 
important part in the keeping of the roads."

The GARDENING WORLD says:— 
“ The "Perfect" Weed Killer was tried on a patch of 
unusually strong Plantains, and in four or five days they 
resembled brown paper—pretty good proof of the effectiveness 
of the composition."

The JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE 
Says:— 
“ We received some time ngo a sample of the “ Perfect ” 
Weed Killer , and after having applied it in the way 
directed we can speak of it in the highest praise. For 
gravel paths especially it is admirably adapted, as it removes 
every trace of weeds."

“ Dear Sirs— I have thoroughly tested a sample of a Dew 
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* 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, aud so far as I have yet observed, w-itliout the 
slightest injury to leaf or flower, and it is withal a most agree¬ 
able 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-washing or 
spray.

“Gentlemen— I have given your Insecticide, 1 PicreDa,' 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. (Signed) “ B. S. WILLIAMS.'
