now got the Little Gem Greenhouse I had from you fixed up, 
and think it but right to tell you that it gives me every satis¬ 
faction. Many of my friends have been to see it, and they all 
agree as to its being a marvel of cheapness. It would have 
cost half as much again if made locally.—I am, faithfully yours,

BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. 
THE AMOBTISER we particularly recommend for 
Greenhouses, it being so pleasant for use t and for its 
perfume. Its properties for destroying insect pests, 
&c., is equal to our Carbon Paste. We guarantee, if 
used as per directions, it will not injure the most deli¬ 
cate foliage or blooms any more than water. 
P.S.—We highly recommend “ Bray’s ” Spray for light 
work ; it is a cork spray and will fit any bottle. It sends a 
very fine spray about 4 feet, and if the rose is removed will 
send it 12 feet with the greatest ease. This is the most useful 
spray we have ever seen, and may be used for many purposes ; 
it requires no strength, and a child can use it.
