CARDEN HOSE. 
MERRYWEATHER'S chief SPECIALniES: 
1. —NON-KINKABLE RED GREY HOSE. 
2. —SPHINCTER GRIP ARMOURED HOSE. 
3. —HIGH-CLASS RED RUBBER HOSE 
Largest Makers of High-class Hose in the World. 
Made on the same lines as the Hose used with 
their celebrated Fire Engines. 
See that Merryweathey's name is embossed on 
every length, this is the only absolute guarantee 
of Quality. 
Merryweathers introduced Sphincter Grip Hose into this 
Country in the year 1SS7; they are the Original Makers, and 
they still sell a Hose which is far superior to every other in the 
Market. Beware of Wire-Armoured Hose, which is counter¬ 
feit and inferior foreign make. 
Users of Hose are cautioned against inferior qualities, sold 
by dealers who have copied our method of advertising, but 
have not adhered to our high quality. 
Oraers executed the same day as received 
Merryweather’s High-Class Garden Pumps. 
Buy direct from the Manufacturer and secure the 
Discount.

SIMPSON'S SPECIALITE MANURE. 
This has been prepared with considerable attention and 
forethought, and will prove, as shown in the analysis, to be a 
highly valuable fertilizer, its effect being speedy and lasting. 
It is specially recommended for Vine and Fruit trees, and 
will form an excellent general manure, except for such hard- 
wooded plants as Camellias, &c. for these I offer a separate 
preparation. 
The analysis shows it to contain Nitrogen 12.21, Soluble 
Phosphates, 7,35, Insoluble Phosphates, 14.63, and Potash 6.11 
per cent.
