cate foliage or blooms any more than water.

work; it is a cork spray and will tit 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.
